This week has been one of those weeks when I hardly had time to think. On Monday I had my 
very first migraine headache. (not an experience I want to repeat), which naturally set me back for the whole week. In preparation for our end-of-semester module in the theology program (Missionary Jim West is teaching a two week module on Apologetics), we were wrapping up our classes and having final exams. We were also preparing for the end of semester Christmas concert with the University orchestra and choir. I play trumpet, and Susan accompanies the choir on the piano. The additional rehearsals as well as the performance on Saturday added some spice to the week. The concert was at a concert hall downtown. It was a combined effort with the Christian school. Aaron's preschool class (he attends a few days a week while Susan teaches English) dressed up as sheep. They sang Silent Night, Holy Night and Away in a Manger. His 
teacher is Pastor Julio Montes' daughter, Sari. The other blonde kid is Jonathan Gibson, the eldest son of AJ and Ruth Gibson, our co-workers here in the ministry. Sorry the picture isn't very good.
This week we begin to wrap up some of our non-theology major classes. Finals, grading projects, etc. will take up a considerable amount of time this week.
Please pray for an activity we are planning to have at the mission on Saturday, the 17th. We will have a special activity that is intended to draw new in new children. We expect to more than double our attendance on that day (somewhere around 100 children--maybe more). We are in the midst of the planning phases right now.
I have included a picture we took of Aaron and Ana. They are as cute as ever. They enjoy each other at times (like in this picture) and try to kill each other at other times! Ah, the joys of being siblings!

Bix:
About your kids- Wow! They've grown and they're cute as ever!
I'm pounding out my (passport)doctrinal statement now for exit out of the kingdom of DBTS=+). In your long experience as a theologue-prof there in Mexico, have you found (or do you have) a good explanation for both the eternal generation of the Son and the procession of the Spirit? I haven't. Perhaps, John Frame's reverent agnosticism (to use his own term) on the issue is most helpful (See his Doctrine of God). I've come to the "conclusion" that these doctrines are to be subsumed under economical distinctions w/in the Trinity rather than obviously, under ontological categories. Period. I could be misled. your thot's are appreciated.
By the way, please give us an update on Susan, as well as our love to her, Bubba Bix, Ana, and the rest of the Genesaret familia (not to mention the graduating class of UCLA).
