Here we are in New Brunswick... moved into a house and settled into Canadian life.  Well not really settled!  We still have a deep longing and desire to return to Africa!  However for now we are going to stick it out here until Meagan is at least finished school!  Talitha is back with us, she returned from Yellowknife on December 31st, she is working on a certificate to be able to teach English as a second language.  Meagan is in grade 11 and has a desire to go to the Philippines when she graduates and take a midwifery course there!  Trevor has joined Cadets and would really like to become a pilot some day, he's in grade 8!  Tavis is young, in grade 7... and hasn't decided what he is looking forward to in the future.  Pete is still working out west and will hopefully have his Class One Divers License this next week!  We are praying this will become a reality!  I have some health issues that need to be looked after and I am waiting to get into the specialist, my appointment is for March 19. 

 

I think around 12 feet of snow has fallen so far this winter and there is MORE to come!  Hard to imagine... after living in a desert!  Trying to keep up with the shoveling and plowing, and clearing... is overwhelming!  Thankfully we have some pretty awesome neighbours who have helped us a great deal this winter! 

 

In 12 days our friend Ndemufayo comes from Namibia to Canada to spend 6 months with us.  It is very exciting and scary at the same time.  Please pray for Ndemufayo as she travels for the first time outside of Namibia!  She changes airports in England and we have a friend who is going to meet her there and show her around a bit before taking her to Heathrow Airport!  Pray for an easy walk through customs and immigration in Montreal! 

 

Well, it is after midnight and I should really be in bed, just thought I would give a quick update!
Love,

Charlene
