Del Pozo Christmas Letter 2009
What an amazing year! So much to tell you about how God has blessed us this year! We hope you are doing well and we pray you enjoy this wonderful Christmas Season. Our tree is up and we are enjoying the chilly weather and looking forward to time with family.
We are so thankful for Rebecca's Real Estate business - it went well this year. In Dec. the Lord showed His faithfulness and she reached her goal for number of homes sold- what a blessing as the market has been so greatly affected by the economy here. She continues to work full time and is looking forward to the year ahead and all the new clients and friends she will be able to help. March was a busy month as Rebecca and I started training to be the upfront team leaders for Royal Family Kids Camp in June- an amazing organization that puts on a week long camp for severely neglected and abused foster children. I was in charge of the dramas, skits and games and Rebecca lead the music for the week. Taking part in this camp continues to open our eyes to how deep God's love is for us all, but especially the broken hearted.
In June Antonio graduated from 6th grade with straight A's and completed his first year of playing the viola in the school orchestra. He wrapped up his baseball season and enjoyed the summer months relaxing and playing with his friends. He spent one week on his first church mission trip with the Youth group in July and was hard at work: cleaning, scrubbing, painting and doing jobs around town. In September he joined the Junior Varsity Football team at school and enjoyed playing wide receiver and corner back. He continues to volunteer as a helper at Awanas on Thursday evenings and is involved in youth group at our church.
Bella started preschool this year and has been loving it! She continues to sing and dance and praise the Lord. She is a joy to our family. It's hard to believe she will be in kindergarten next year.... our baby's growing up! It's amazing what she comes up with - check out the youtube link for video clips.
June was a busy month as Rebecca and I were away at camp, we came back and Rebecca took part in our church's first CD Release concert. A few of Rebecca's songs that she wrote were included in the project. She also had the opportunity to travel and share her testimony and songs at Women's Conferences. She hopes for more opportunities to encourage others in this way in the upcoming year.
In November we celebrated our 10 year wedding anniversary. We felt led to celebrate by renewing our vows and express our gratefulness to the Lord for the healing and restoration that He did in our marriage. It was a blessing to share the experience with the Antonio and Bella and all the people who know our story. We took off for a 2nd honeymoon for a week in sunny Cabo. We enjoyed the warm weather and relaxation.....now back to the reality of below freezing temperatures!
All in all, it's been a very busy year- but we have enjoyed every minute of it! We are so amazed at all the Lord has done in our lives this year and we have expectant hearts looking forward to 2010. We pray the Joy of Lord will fill your hearts this Christmas Season as we reflect on our Savior's birth. We look forward to hearing from you all and we wish you every blessing in 2010.
Love
