Happy New Year!

  A memory quilt for David, made by his big sister to cover him with love while in Uganda

Greetings and Happy New Year! We pray your family is well and had an enjoyable holiday season. Our family was together celebrating our Lord's birth and built great memories. Now. we are continuing the journey for our move to Uganda to build new homes for Amani Baby Cottage www.amanibabycottage.org . The Nuttall family has been blessed by an outpouring of love, support and prayer. Thank you.

As you may have read in the previous post, the children received duffel bags for Christmas. They are constantly thinking and rethinking about what they will pack in those bags and what will go into their carry-ons. Just in case you are wondering...no mention of clothing has been made. only what toys they just know they can't leave behind! Guess it is up to momma to make sure they are dressed! Our family was generously blessed at Christmas by a Bible study group at our church. Dustin received Barnes and Noble gift cars, Mary received a Kohl's gift card, David and Courtney DS games. What joy! We are eternally grateful for the body of Christ and our church family www.christcov.net . Thank you.

We are so thankful for the opportunity to be used of God to build for Him and the babies. Prayer is so important in this journey, we would appreciate knowing if you are praying. If you would like to receive specific requests, please let me know mariettan@sbcglobal.net . Thank you.

This past week, we celebrated life. Our oldest son turned 24, our 34th anniversary is today, and a precious dear friend went Home to our Savior. Even though we will miss our sister, Charlotte, we have such great hope in seeing her again. If you are reading this post, and you don't have the hope of Heaven in your heart, we pray you take the time to ask Jesus to become Lord of your life "For God so loved the world, He gave His only begotten son, that whoever believes in Him, will not perish, but have everlasting life". John 3:16. Thank you.
