Dear Friends,

We had an early Thanksgiving package arrive this year. To our great surprise our beautiful 5lbs 12oz 19” long baby girl arrived November 9, 2007, fifteen days ahead of schedule. Thank you for all your prayers and support. God answered our prayers and Cristina only had a four hour labor.  Follow the "Pictures" link above for some photos.

Every time some one asks me about how she is doing I can’t help but tell them everything about her, how I was holding her and she smiled, or how I was burping her and she picked up her head and looked at me, etc. I’m sure all you dads out there know what I’m talking about, how the only way you can describe your new baby is beautiful, cute, and amazing.

My new fatherly love for Amalia really brought into perspective how our heavenly Father loves me. If God feels a fraction towards me of what I feel towards Amalia, how can I help it but to go and shout it from the roof tops. God loves the world, and it is our privilege and responsibility to tell them so. Please pray for us as we continue to proclaim this good news here in Greece.

We wish you Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Serving together for His glory,

James, Cristina, and Amalia Sinde
