If you’re having trouble, I’m the one whose face is obscured by the light reflecting off of my shiny head and also by the giant Teddy Bear that everyone wanted the “Foreigner” to hold on his neck.  If you still can’t find me – then try looking for the guy that is less Asian than everyone else!  Now you found me, right!?

Just wanted to connect with everyone by way of this “not-your-normal-everyday-Christmas-card” and say “สุขสันต์วันคริสต์มาส” from the Land of Smiles.  We’ve had Christmas parties at various universities and churches that I work with almost every dayfor the last week, and we just wrapped up our last one on campus near my home with almost 500 people in attendance.  Even though I really miss being home for the holidays, it’s pretty awesome getting to tell curious Thai’s about the meaning of Christmas – knowing that MANY are hearing for the very first time!

Speaking of hearing – I’d love to hear back from you!  I won’t make it home for the holidays this year to visit with anyone in person, so let me know what you did for Christmas, or give me an update on how 2012 concluded and what’s in store for 2013!

With Thankfulness for the Greatest Gift,
Matt
