Christmas In Arizona!

After a six month long visit to the US, the kids travelled with Margaret's parents to their home in Arizona for the week before Christmas.  They decorated the tree, made cookies and even a gingerbread house.  We thank Dave and Gretchen for their week of caring for the kids and preparing their hearts for Christmas.  Margaret packed our bags in California while Andy worked on the hovercraft.  We drove to be with the kids on Christmas Eve and celebrated Christ's birth together as a family.

Hovercraft Project

The hovercraft parts have arrived! Building has begun! Andy's father, Howard Andersen was visiting from Florida when this shipment arrived. We are praying the craft will be completed and shiped by Dec. 14th. Please come by to help if you like!

Andersens Begin Blogging!

Dear Family and Friends,

Greetings to you from our house to yours! We are thrilled to be able to have internet connection available to us now in Kahunda via a cell phone modem connection. We are in the process of learning to create this blog site. Praise God for this new way to record the evidences of God's working! We thank God for His provision of this house as we minister among the island peoples. Andy finished building it in the year 2000. We are comfortable with the simple luxuries of window screening, a cement floor, and a metal roof over our head. We like to think of it as "fancy camping"! It is actually fancier than camping as we have a hot shower and a flush toilet, too. :-) Our guest room awaits you. Karibu! (Welcome!) Our desire from this home is to follow Rom. 12:13: "Share with God's people who are in need. Practice hospitality." Please make this your prayer for us when you read this entry. Thank you!
