Looking Forward to Christmas!!

Hi all!

Christmas is coming! Nate and I love it here and definately have come to call it home, but we are looking forward to going to see all you guys.

(Right) this is a common view in our area, a church of old-order mennonites. There are rows of horse and buggy all around this church. Last sunday we went to a couple from the church for lunch, and on the way we past an old-order mennonite church that had just let out. The road was packed with carts. The couple's house we were going to grew up in that church and all their extended family are still in that church! He had a lot of interesting things to say about growing up and eventually leaving that church.

Mom! You wouldn't believe what we saw. It's this timmies that was under construction so they were working out of this trailer ish thing. It looked so weird down main street.

So I was given all of these kinda frost bitten but still usable tomatoes, so I made salsa last week! All the vegetation and flowers and such last about a month longer outside than there. It turned out a bit too mild for us so I 'm adding more jalepenos as we open the jars, but still good i think. I thought the pot of stuff looked so pretty I had to take a picture. =)

Myself and a second year student teach Gr. K-2 gym class twice a week, which can be fun and also challenging. We made a snowball fight for them one day out of cruched up paper, which was a blast! Then, of all coincidences, it started to hail outside and we had all this tiny 'snow' to eat and play with. It was great fun, and I've attached a video of it if you want to see the fun we have!

Thanks so much for all your support! We've heard from some of you but would love to hear more! Please write us! nateandtash@hotmail.com
