Joyeux Noël

Joyeux Noël! (Merry Christmas in French)

I love to paint. Earlier this year, I decided to paint a special memory from Togo. It is from one of my Tuesday mornings with Jonas. I titled it, “Joie” which means joy in French. I had so much joy in working with Jonas. I have so much joy in serving the Lord. And now I have so much joy in telling you that I bought my tickets for Togo! I will fly out on January 28th! What joy!

My heart is filled with joy and gratitude this season with finishing well my time in Québec, enjoying time with family, and anticipating my arrival to Togo. Thank you all for your love, support, and encouragement on this journey. I’m thankful for each of you.

Joyeux Noël!
