6. Life with Paul and Virginia Virginia writes, "The girls are all doing well. Kari and Gabe are settling in to their new role in the college ministry at Bayside Church and are working on the details of their wedding. Lisa is juggling numerous jobs besides athletic training at Mission High School, and her favorite is subbing. She loves her students. :) Jules is dividing her time between school and lacrosse primarily, and is thinking about post-college opportunities. Yikes! How did that happen so quickly?" Over Thanksgiving weekend, the whole family was together in Alexandria, Virginia along with members of Virginia's extended family for a wonderful long reunion weekend of turkey, shopping, football, games, and a fun bridal shower for Kari and Gabe. Plans for their wedding in Sacramento, California on February 9th are proceeding smoothly. (Oh yes, add to the list: planning a wedding!) Paul and Virginia and the entire H.I.M. staff are so thankful for each of you! We are blessed and very aware of it. Thanks for being part of that blessing. |

At the beginning of November we held the first of two
H.I.M. marriage conferences this year, and those who attended said they felt it
was the best marriage conference ever! Others wrote, "We like the NH setting .
. . surrounded by the mountains, trees, etc.--basically the beauty of God.
Music was great." "A Godly experience. What a ministry. Thank you so much.
Thank you for all the work you do to serve us." "Wonderful to have the
conference in a new place! It's beautiful up here--lots to do." If you'd like
to read the full "Marriage Conference report" with photos,

great news! Now through December 20, the regular price of $100 per couple for
this highly-recommended weekend is only $75 per couple when you pay in full at
the time of reservation. There are only two more Engagement Matters weekends
available before the end of the school year—one is coming right up on
January 6–7 and the other is April 14–15. This is a great weekend for
any couple who is planning (or even thinking about planning) to get married.
Paul and Virginia teach about love and respect, sex, conflict management,
in-laws, money, and spiritual leadership—all with their own special blend
of wisdom and laughter. Why not give the weekend as a Christmas gift to your
engaged or pre-engaged son or daughter or niece or nephew? Visit
Paul's book, "Letters to My Daughters: A dad's
thoughts on a most important decision — Marriage," is now in it's second
printing, and praise for this book is still coming in. It's so encouraging to
us to receive these wonderful notes! One man recently wrote, " 'Letters to My
Daughters' is one of the most meaningful books I have read in a very long time.
As I progressed letter by letter I found myself thinking 'I want to mark this
page/thought to come back later for a re-read.' As I finished the last letter
this morning I realized I had very close to 52 bookmarked pages for future
review! If only my messages to my daughters could be as consistently powerful!
You, again, have set a wonderful example for we parents still in the earlier
stage struggles."
In
addition to special Christmas pricing for copies of "Letters to My Daughters"
(see article above), here are a few more online Christmas specials to make you
smile:
"One Plus One Equals One...Lousy Math, Great Marriage": Normally
$5.00 each. Now, $3.00 each. This is a CD recording of a great talk by Paul and
Virginia Friesen.
This fall,
Paul and Virginia have interspersed their ongoing commitment to the flourishing
church partnership program that meets every other Sunday evening in Weston with
weekend speaking trips to Fresno, California; Hamilton, Massachusetts; and Park
Street Church in Boston. Fit into that, they've added a monthly series at the
Boston Chinese Evangelical Church as well as their weekly meetings with
Patriots' couples. Plus, special events: the Parenting Seminar at Newton
Presbyterian Church in October and the hugely successful H.I.M. marriage
conference in Jackson, New Hampshire in November. And can you believe it?
They’re each working on writing a new book. We'll tell you more about those in
the coming months, but suffice it to say, they live very full lives.
