Makiko Dua I know that my redeemer liveth. God sent His Son to die on the cross for our sins. That's why we have Christmas to remember the birth of our Savior. Merry Christmas! Ruth Ellis My class of seven students are the most jovial inspiration. They are so proficient in their grammar and reading abilities, that the curriculum I am concentrating on is pronunciation, oral and written conversations. Sorry I have to bid farewell to Keiko Nakamura. Her family must return to Japan. We will miss her - our very best with blessings to the family. Dixie Ishikawa During these troubled times may the PEACE and JOY of the Christmas season fill your hearts knowing that our mighty and awesome God is in control over everything!
