Dearest Family and Friends,
Merry Christmas from Roach, MO! We spent our first Christmas here at the MTC ... just the 4 of us enjoying being together and enjoying the day. It was lazy. It was full of laughter and good food. It was memory filled. We even took some time outside to take a few pictures. It was that nice of a day! Thank you, Lord!
Our first semester at the MTC has come and gone. Wow! Where do I even start to tell you of the lessons God had prepared for us who "put our trust in Him"? We came as the veteran missionaries ready to help and guide the candidates, but God had so much to teach our hearts. Being a student is a life long process for sure! Craig and I are both so very thankful to be here and even more thankful for the lessons, and patience, God is bringing us through. We look forward to what He has for us next semester.
Cheyenne made us proud with her what seemed so easy adjustment to Camdenton High School. She was bumped up to 2 honors classes (math and geography) mid semester and is holding her own grade wise very confidently. In her spare time she hangs out with the single girls and attends school sporting events. Her excitement will come in the spring when she starts soccer practice. She is looking forward to that.
Cody is home with us again. He withdrew from John Brown University at the suggestion of his counselor. It was a very disappointing week as he found out he didn't get into the nursing program and he had lost a big scholarship. He's been home catching up on sleep, applying for jobs, looking for direction for next semester. There is a junior college close by that he is looking to attend part time. Please pray God would give him a job and that he would have clear direction as what God would have him do. We just want to love on him and encourage him.
Today, we'd like to say thank you for your continued support to our family and ministry. God has used you in so many ways and in times when we wondered what He was doing. I'm so thankful He hears our prayers and that His timing is perfect. My prayer for you is that you would continue to experience God's goodness. And could you pray for me that I would just simply trust God instead of worrying and complaining and thinking I deserve better than what God gives me. That is an on going lesson for me. I appreciate your prayers!
Praying your day was full of blessings and that you took time to bring an offering of worship to our King!
Merry Christmas!
CHERYL, for the Cassels
