Christmas Eve
Here are 2 more pictures of our family. Anty Beth with baby Duric and Beth's children Kaci and Brody playing high above Coleman on one of the few volcanic fidges found in the Crowsnest Pass.

Thinking about adjusting to life in Guatemala. They tell me that I will have to speak baby talk and will loose most of my personality. I am working hard to come up with some small jokes in Spanish to counter this.
Separation from friends and family will also affect us in that we will be lonely. Hmmmm how does one deal with lonelines. I know the obvious that is abiding in Christ however there is a kind of peace that each must come to grips with.

Well those are some of my thoughts as we move into Christmas day our last in Canada.

May you all have a Blessed day keeping the significance of Christ the baby in perspective as the Christ who died a lamb for the sins of the world.

The picture of 4 men below was that of Me my son Dan, my Dad and my newest grandeson Duric.

Hi Everyone

Life continutes to move full speed ahead. I am very busy at work trying to finish up on an Aboriginal Consultation. In the evenings I sort through files and drawers improtant stuff into the plastic container for Guatemala other neet stuff into a box for storage, and then there is the garbage, several bags so far!

We have a new Grande Child and were able to see our Fort McMurry Grande kids down here in the Crowsnest, we fished, dug snow caves and climbed mountains. A good last visit before the big flight south!

We took a 4 generation picture of our Grande Child Duric, my dad and son Dan. Has anyone ever heard of the name Duric. A one of!.

We are having our criminal check done which we will need in Guatemala and I still need to review my will. The list is large but time is short so some things are just not going to get done.

We have a new address in Guatemala:
Apartado #216
Pieriferico
Guatemala City
C.A. 01011

It would be nice if a few people would send us some snail mail so that we could see if it actually works. Do not send a million dollars because I here that nothing of value makes it past Florida.

Well I am off on another long week but Christmas is coming and our chance to reconnect with the Birth of Christ in preparation for the death, burial and resurrection. I trust you will have a blessed Christmas.

Remaining Faithful in Christ
Tim
