Jennn Herzberg Update - January 2003
Hello Missions Committee and St. Paul— I know
it’s been, oh, FOREVER since I’ve written any sort of personal email to you, and
for that I apologize. I hope you all had a great holiday season, filled with JOY
at the birth of “Jezisko” (pronounced “Yay-jeesh-ko” with the z as a soft j
sound). In Slovak, the addition of a “ko” or “ka” at the end of a word gives it
a more affectionate connotation. So, “little Jesus”. I think it’s great. Sorry
if I haven’t explained it sufficiently! My dad,
mom and brother just left a few days ago, so I’m now spending the weekend
getting everything back to ‘normal’ again! My family and I had a wonderful time
together, spending New Year’s eve in Vienna, then heading to Prague and ending
up in Bratislava. Lots of travel in a short time, making for tired, but
satisfied, Herzbergs!! I want to
just say a word of thanks again for your support of God’s mission in Central
Europe. This place is quite spiritually dead, so much prayer and hard work is
needed for this area of the world. January is World Missions Month, so I’d
encourage you to check out the LCMS Worldmissions website and see what’s going
on there. There are many opportunities to get more involved with the spreading
of His Kingdom. I miss St.
Paul quite a lot these days…when I think of Christmas, most of my memories are
directly related to St. Paul…spending 3 or 4 services on Christmas Eve at
church, playing bells or singing in the choir, snacking on cheese & crackers in
dad’s office between services…and oh, how I miss those days!! :) Really, I do!
But my favorite memory of all is 11pm candlelight service on Christmas
Eve…seeing the same faces every year, hearing beautiful music and ushering in
Christmas the way it should be—celebrating the real reason for the holiday! Thanks for
taking a quick trip down memory lane with me-I appreciate it : ). Give my
greetings to St. Paul, please!! I pray that this new year, full of changes and
transitions, is a year of Peace and Joy in our hearts and minds. God’s blessings
to y’all! Jennn |
