Dear friends and family,

Just wanted to give you a quick update. We have been in the states for about 3 weeks. We arrived the night before Thanksgiving. We have 1 1/2 weeks til my due date(December 27th). My doctor told me to walk the baby out. When I walk my contractions start and can get pretty strong so we are following her instructions. If my dad is feeling well I am sure you will receive some digital pictures. When Sarah was born he sent out an e-mail before I was out of the operating room. The doctor said I could have Jonathan normally as long as there are no problems. If you could pray for that I would appreciate it. We want to be able to return to Honduras a month after delivery so a normal delivery will help that.

My dad has chemo treatment on the 19th. If you could please keep him in your prayers. He feels great the first 2 or 3 days and the next 5 days he is really sick. He has lost 25 to 30 pounds since he doesn't have an appetite for those days. The whole family will be here for Christmas. Dad really wants to be there for Jonthan's birth and spend time with him. It is very important to him. Since his chemo comes close to Jonathan's due date this is a concern. Between chemo, anniversaries(my parent's anniversary is the 22nd our 10th is the 23rd), Christmas, and Jonathan's birth it would be great if chemo this time really allowed him to enjoy everything.

We haven't heard from the ministers so things must be going really well. Continue to pray for them as the rainy season will make the work more difficult to carry on.

We greatly appreciate your prayers and support. May God bless you and yours this Christmas season.

Merry Christmas,

Toby, Amy, Cassandra, Sarah, and Jonathan Hill
