Our Irish-American German Girl

"I love Germany!" she exclaimed, with all the drama that a Sinclair girl can muster (and that is a bit of drama...)

Yup. It's official. She has loved her time there. Not much German learned yet but hopefully, in time, she will acquire a bit of their vocabulary.

And, of course, we are all thrilled to see her and hear her stories. God has been incredibly faithful. He always is. So much growth, so much experience. Good, good stuff.

She heads back on Jan. 5. One small decision must be made between now and then. Louissa is one of six students who have been asked to stay for 6 months to form a summer team for ministry purposes (may I boast a bit and say that there are 93 students...) What an honor! And what a decision. At any rate, when she leaves it may be for a longer time than originally planned. God is always up to something, isn't He? But for now we just are happy to have her here.

For me, my Christmas has already begun! One of my best gifts has been received -- a traveling daughter is home.
