Last few months in the US

My last few months in the US I got to celebrate Christmas with family, share with churches, speak at and recruit (for missions) at Frontier School of the Bible, and see friends one last time before heading out, back to Vanuatu for another term.
 Richards family
 Team Vanuatu!
Kaiden and I. Who doesn't love hanging out and eating ice cream together straight from the tub?! 
 Christmas Eve Thulesens and Richards
My handsome parents on Christmas.  I got snowed in at their house Christmas day so stayed over with them overnight. 
 I got to hang out with a few friends one last time in Boise, ID when Heritage Bible flew me out for their February missions conference.  Rachael, me, Suzanne, and Jonie.
 Cooking with Sophie and Zoe.
 Some last looks at the frozen river and snow by my apartment in Montana before heading off to the tropics.

Last church presentation at our main sending church, Grace Bible in Miles City, Montana.
Gwen taught herself to play the ukulele so the Richards sang together for church.  Gwen is on the ukulele, Si on the drum, Hought on guitar, and Gretch on a tenor ukulele.

I'm so grateful for the time I had in the US with family and friends, and to be able to share the ministry God has led the Richards and I to in Vanuatu.  God is doing great stuff, and we praise His name!
