OR..... Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I have been in Ergli for almost an entire week now. i had Christmas Eve with my family, and "Santa" brought me a beautiful silver bracelet. Then we had choir practice before our Christmas service. everyone should be very proud i sang in church choir for the service in latvian. im actually learning a lot. i can read most things in lativan becuz im learning the alphabets sounds. its been so great, i really like it here, i plan on coming back for a longer amount of ttime. i just need to find a more permanent job. so anyways, i spent Christmas with the Roths, and Diaga, Elvis, and daniel. 2 adults, 5 teenagers, 3 children, and 2 guinea pigs. its was a scream. Anna and i make a ginger bread house, then a nativity scene. and dan and katie gave everyone presents. i was amazed. monday i watched all the kids ao that Dan, Katie, Dustin, and Kritine could go on a date. i did the ladies makeup and katies hair. they said that they hada good time so i was pleased. so i officially leave in 6 days, im not impressed. the time has went so fast, well maybe not for mom, but def on my side. as im sure a lot of you figured Danny is already plenty ready to come home. he doesnt like it here too much. but i still think over all he would say that it was a good experience. i hope when i get home everyone will see the changes God has been doing in me. im so excited to be moving to portland and start out totally fresh and new, and this time be who God wants me to be. If anyone knows of any good churchs for me to check out, leave me a comment of the name and address if possible. please continually keep me in your prayers leaving everything here will not be an easy task.
Love, Alise
