Coming to a close

Happy Thursday!

So it has been a while since I have written, too long! I pray that your holidays were restful and a fun filled time of reflection on this past year and the coming. I was thinking of all of you during the season of remembrance upon Christ's birth. What a blessing to celebrate his coming every year! I spent the holidays here in Quito, and was surrounded by so much love and friendship (friendships that have grown to feel just like family). Yet, it was tough being away from home, family, and snow! Christmas just wasn't the same without it.

Currently I am going through the wrap up with my job and the beginning of wrapping up my life here too. It seems like my time here has flown by in so many ways, but on the other hand, I miss so many back home. Can you tell I feel bittersweet? :)

I leave 3 weeks from Saturday and only have two more weeks of work left. I return February 7 in the late afternoon and anticipate resting for a bit once I get back, catching up with family and friends and of course, finding a job, house, car and phone.

I want to take this opportunity to say "THANK YOU" to all who support me in so many ways. I was reflecting today on the importance of recognizing blessing that God gives us everyday, even the small ones. Your support has been a HUGE blessing in my life. It seems like yesterday I was tossing around the idea of going back to Ecuador, just a mere thought and today I am getting ready to leave. God is truly faithful in so many ways and called you to be a blessing to me and my work here. I would not have been able to be here without you.

If you can feel reassured about one thing today, please feel the blessing that you are in my life. Thank you again!

Love,

Jenny Luth
