The Griffiths are back in New Zealand after a Malaysian adventure, awaiting a move to America despite visa delays. Caleb is preparing a book about navigating life transitions, which parallels their current experiences. Their boys are growing well amidst the changes, while they ready their Dunedin home for renters. Their journey is underpinned by unwavering faith, aptly reflected in Romans 8:28.

January 2023 has been a flurry of activity for the Griffith family. They kicked off the year with a cultural immersion in Bangkok, Thailand, where they savored the local cuisine and visited unique attractions like floating and train markets. Now, they're back home, eagerly preparing for Chinese New Year with traditional food, decorations, and firecrackers. As they await the sale of their house in Gore, they're reminded of 1 Thessalonians 5:16 and the importance of rejoicing in all circumstances, praying ceaselessly, and giving thanks - all part of God's will through Christ.

As we cherish the Christmas season, the Griffith family extends heartfelt gratitude for the unwavering support they've received throughout the transformative year of 2022. Amidst country relocations and family expansions, they have witnessed God's steadfast faithfulness at every turn. This festive period, they remind us to reflect on the profound message of Isaiah 9:6 - the birth of Christ, the ultimate embodiment of hope, peace, grace, and mercy. Let's never underestimate this unparalleled act of love - the arrival of Jesus into our world.
