Season’s Greetings & Big Changes!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and yours!

As we reflect on the past year, our hearts are full of gratitude for your friendship and support. We hope this season is filled with peace, joy, and quality time with the people you love most.

Family News: A New Addition!

Before we look toward the horizon, we have some wonderful family news to share. Our family has grown! My little brother recently married his beautiful wife, Bailey.

We are so thrilled to welcome her into the fold. I’ve officially gained a new sister, and the girls are over the moon to have a new Tía Bailey! It was a beautiful celebration, and we are so happy for the newlyweds.

The Road to Japan

Life has been a whirlwind of packing, paperwork, and preparation. We are currently in the thick of getting ready for our move to Japan. We are finishing up our final bits of support and tying up loose ends here at home.

As of right now, we are still waiting on our COEs (Certificate of Eligibility). While the timing is in the hands of the immigration office (and God’s), we are tentatively planning to be on the ground in Japan by February.

How You Can Join Us in Prayer

As we navigate this transition, we would value your prayers. Specifically, please pray:

• For our COEs: That they would be processed and issued quickly so we can finalize our travel dates.

• For the Transition: For peace of mind for the girls as we prepare to say our goodbyes and start this new adventure.

Thank you for being part of our journey.

With love,

Bradley, Emily, Willow & Ember Malmquist
