Kerri is counseling at a
family homeless shelter in downtown San Diego. She
is a Clinical Coordinator. She is 200 hours away
from the 3000 needed to take her exams for her
counseling license.

Sam is still full
time in private practice. They are both in
ministry at a growing church, Family Life
Christian Fellowship in Poway,
www.flcf.org. They love their present
position. Sam has become refocused on golfing and
in the next twelve months, he hopes to beat his
dad! |

Glenda’s business, Financial
Bridges, is doing well. This year she was quoted
in the Forbes.com website, the Wall Street
Journal.com, the San Diego Union Tribune, and the
Bloomberg Wealth Manager. Barnes & Noble also used
her as a consultant on a financial book they
printed this year. Check out her website at
www.financialbridges.com. |
We had the opportunity to
visit several times with Ed and Lina and family in
the San Jose area. Ed continues to work as a
contractor to Hewlett-Packard on a messaging
server product. Ed and Lina are active at their
church in Mountain View, working with the married
couples. Of course, Ed continues to introduce
families to the sport of dirt-biking, a sport his
entire family is involved in. They have pictures
at
http://ednlina.com.
Jaron, (5) started
kindergarten. Their next-door-neighbor is his
teacher. He’s doing well.
Krista (16) and Kayla (13)
returned to public school. They have adjusted well
to being back in the public setting, and in
general like their teachers. November 29, Krista
had an accident while riding her dirt bike with
the family and friends. Her helmet somehow came
off when she hit the ground. She had a moderate
concussion, and is still in some pain from a
broken collarbone and she is wearing a restrictive
cast. She hopes to return to school December 15.
We are thanking the Lord for preserving and
helping her. |

Jonathan, (18) graduated from
high school. He is working full time at a Medical
office and is planning on going to West Valley
Community College in the spring.
We’re looking forward to being
together with all our family in San Jose for the
Christmas week. Lina is such a splendid hostess.
Last December Arlo had a biopsy
and was diagnosed with prostate cancer. We didn’t
know enough about it at that time to mention it in
our letter. You can read the whole story on
www.doinggood.org. After investigating various
treatments, he made arrangements to begin proton
beam therapy in May in Loma Linda, CA. However, he
was prayed for and in April he asked the doctor to
do another PSA test and the PSA was 2.6 (lower
than it had been in years.) The doctor thought it
might be a fluke or an error and wanted another
one. The result? 2.01. Arlo canceled the
treatment. He feels great and we are thanking the
Lord for His healing touch. |

Arlo has had many opportunities to
minister this year in California, Minnesota, North
Carolina, Florida, Texas, Tennessee, Indiana, and
Missouri. He was asked to speak at a Wesleyan
church about his healing. He also spoke at the
Bootheel Conference in Sikeston and the Steadfast
Conference again in Indianapolis. This year he
completed Study guides for Old Testament Part I
(Genesis – Esther) to be a follow-up study to his
New Testament study guides. |

Jane is expanding her computer
skills to include the Adobe Acrobat suite of
programs. We both took a course in Microsoft
FrontPage, a program to develop and maintain website
pages. Next, Arlo will take a course in HTML (HyperText
Markup Language) and Jane is enrolled for a
PowerPoint Level 2 course. We really have enjoyed
the challenge. |
|
We had our Teaching with
Variety book translated into Spanish (Enseñando
con Variedad).
May God grant you a Blessed
Christmas and New Year.
Arlo and Jane Moehlenpah
