Our Christmas Letter

Dear Friends and Family –

As 2011 draws to a close we are reminded of how much Heavenly Father has blessed us by just reminding us that he loves us. Especially during this Holiday season we are especially conscious of the blessing that Heavenly Father allowed his son Jesus Christ to be born on Earth and to atone for our sins so we could return and live with Him again. We are so amazed when we think that Jesus volunteered to be our Savior. We are so blessed.

This year has been wonderfully busy. Jogie is currently in his second year at Midwestern University’s Podiatry Medical School. School has stretched and strengthened his ability to believe in himself and exercise faith that Heavenly Father will provide a way for us to succeed with school. Thank you everyone for your prayers and faith in our behalf; we have certainly needed that at times and have felt the blessings of your faith.

Amanda continues to work at the Slepian Law Office. Here she has focused on working up the evidence for cases that are pending for a hearing. Additionally, she has taken charge of cases at the Virtual Screening Unit. She has also been given the task of editing appeals from the attorneys.

 

Over the Fourth of July weekend we took a road trip to White Sands, New Mexico. Here we did some sledding and some backpacking. It was a really beautiful area. We were lucky enough to have front row seats to some stunning lightning.

Jogie wanted to catch a lizard of our own since we are in Phoenix and seem to see them all over. We caught Fluffy on our patio. Later we caught Squishy by our front door. We decided Gecko’s are really cute!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays Everyone!
