Happy New Year!
As we enter into a new year we look forward to serving God's people in the Apachelands of Arizona with the gospel message. It's that message that makes all the difference in the lives of every person on earth. Lives that can be so unfulfilling, depressing, and meaningless without the truth of God's amazing love and mercy. That thought has really hit home these past few weeks with a number of our brothers and sisters who have completed their journey of faith here on earth and are now standing before the throne of their Almighty Savior. With the confidence of Job we can say "I know that my Redeemer lives, and that in the end he will stand upon the earth. And after my skin has been destroyed, yet in my flesh I will see God; I myself will see him with my own eyes—I, and not another. How my heart yearns within me!"

Merry Christmas!
We hope that you have a very Merry Christmas as you prepare your hearts and minds to celebrate the birthday of our Savior. Let everyone know that the real present of Christmas is not found under a tree but was hanging on a tree to die for the sins of you and me. The present of our Savior and his life, death, and resurrection is what Christmas is all about. Help people to put Christ back in Christmas and in their lives each day.

Forever With The Lord
Dear East Fork family,
Last evening, our 1st & 2nd grade teacher, Miss Laura Clark, was called home to heaven. She was at her parent's home recovering from the blood infection that had kept her out of the classroom for the last few weeks when she suffered a heart attack. We know very few details at this time.
It is with sadness at losing a dedicated colleague, but with joy in the knowledge that she is with her Savior, that I write to you.
It is our plan to have school as usual to keep our students' lives as normal as possible during this time. It is for times such as this that our school exists. We want all children and families to know about the Savior that Miss Clark told her students about every day; the Savior who will one day take all believers to be with Him in heaven, where there will be no more sickness, pain, or sadness.
We will keep you informed about funeral arrangements when we are made aware of them.
"Brothers and Sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope." 1 Thessalonians 4:13
God's peace be with you,
