To Our Friends and Family back in England
We are coming back to England on Christmas Eve till the 17th January (God and weather permitting).
As soon as we get a mobile phone we will post our number on this blog.
We probably won't have email for a few days too.
For most of the time will be staying in Rainham, Essex.
Hopefully we can meet up with as many of you then.
Happy Christmas
The Chow Family xxx

Bible Bee 2010 Update
Thanks for all your support and interest in the 2010 Bible Bee Finals in which Daniel, Alexander and Rachel took part today in Chicago.
They all did really well in the preliminary rounds this morning.
The top 15 semi-finalists were then announced at lunchtime and Alexander was ranked 7th after the preliminary rounds and so was able to take part in the semi-final this afternoon.
He made 5 perfect recitations in the 5 rounds and ended up ranked 6th overall. However, only the top 5 go through to tomorrows final.
No one is disappointed as there are no losers when it comes to memorising scripture.
There are also lots of treats for everyone with an ice cream social and a Seeds concert tonight with the lovely Rachel Harper singing on stage with Jason Hauser too!
Feel free to check our blog tomorrow http://chowfamilycalifornia.blogspot.com/ as Chi Wah will be putting on some Bible Bee photos tonight.
The finals should be worth watching live on the web tomorrow and are at the following times (2 hours earlier in California)
Primary Division (7-10 years of age): 1:00PM, CST
Junior Division (11-14 years of age): 2:30PM, CST
Senior Division (15-18 years of age): 4:00PM, CST
You may wish to connect 15 minutes ahead of time so that you don't miss any of the thrilling event.
Simply go to BibleBee.org, and look for the Nationals Webcast button on the homepage, or follow this link:

Please also keep the Harper family in prayer for the rest of their trip including their visit to the Feins in Maryland.
Rejoicing in Him,
Lisa
