Dear Readers

The theme of this blog, Abigail coming home, has been completed for some time now. Therefore, it's time to close the book on this adventure and call it complete.

The family adventure, however is far from over. If you wish to continue to follow the Friend family, head on over to our family blog at thefriendfam.blogspot.com. There you will find updates on Abigail as well as the rest of the family.

Good News for All the People

Along with our CD of Chinese Christmas Music, our missionary friend left us the DVD of the children's version of the Jesus film. This DVD has been dubbed in 17 different languages, including Punjabi Indian, Tagalog, and Mandarin. We have been watching the Mandarin version with Abigail as a family. She has been absolutely riveted by the story. Sometimes she scarcely moves or blinks her eyes. And even though we've only been able to understand three Chinese words the entire time (Hello, Father, and God), we, too, are riveted by this true story.

"The Word became flesh and dwelt among us."

"Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift."

This is indeed good news for people of every tribe, tongue, and nation.

Merry Christmas from the Friend Family.
