John and Anna Weeks YOUR link to tribal missions 
We had a great Christmas up at John’s mom’s house where we’ve been staying our last month in the U.S. This was our first Christmas with either of our families since 1997! Both of John’s brother’s and their families joined us as well as one of his sister’s and her family. We were only missing four people, John’s older sister Julia and her three children.
We had a house-full with 26 of us and 16 of us were spending the night at Grandma’s house! 
We all enjoyed a ham meal together and my mother read the traditional Christmas story while we all listened. As a family, we opened gifts on the 23rd before all the relatives arrived. We were also able to go to church Christmas Eve to enjoy a nice time of worship and refreshments.
There was little talk of Indonesia or our soon return, although that was prominent on our minds as we cherished our last time with family for some time.
Please pray for us as we return to Indonesia leaving the U.S. January 5th. I will visit a dentist and also my eye doctor during our short stopover in Singapore and then on to Jakarta.
Please read our Christmas letter in our updates.
We trust you all were able to enjoy Christmas with friends and family,
John for the Week’s family
