Love you all!

So it been a little while since I posted. So time to catch up :)

Hannah and I have just returned from a 2 week break over Christmas. We managed to get back to the Netherlands to spend time with my family. (There was also a whirlwind visit to Nurnberg in Germany where Daniel, my younger yet taller, brother is living. It is more than worth a visit, beautiful city)
It was a great chance to visit family and reconnect with old friends. There is nothing more encouraging than not seeing friends for a year and a half then sitting down to chat like it was yesterday you were seeing each other every week.
As I look at the various places Hannah and I have lived (and are likely to live) it is good to know that friendships sustain themselves even over long distances.
So call this my new years message to all the people out there whom I (or we) truly love and we don't see as often as we would like too that we do actually miss you all; and of course for the people who are around us that we feel blessed to share life with you.

In His service,
Ben
