Please God, not Africa!

Sweet Reunion!! It was so awesome to see all the boys!! Yay!!  Together again... Poor Jack is going to miss his buddy, Bullet. This is me, in Phase 1.  Michelle was getting all artistic with her photos! The missionary women at Cindy's place on Thursday night. I love these women!! Me and Michelle -- having survived the hike to the cliffs.  Hot, sweaty and very much ready for our PB and J lunch. The week has gone so fast.  I packed for the first three days until I could pack no longer.  Then I joined the team in painting the perlins (the SCBC has rocked this place -- from painting hundreds of perlins to fixing the back-hoe and the tractor, it's been amazing.) It's been so great to have the team here with us, experiencing life in Mango, going to market, visiting the missionaries, eating fufu and so many other things.  The laughs and the stories are endless and I'm so very grateful that we will have these memories with the team.  

Oops.  Is it May already? In one way it feels like we've been home for only a couple of weeks and in other ways it feels like we never left.  (Except for the fact that Nate and the boys are thousands of miles away. That definitely feels weird.) I haven't written lately because I really haven't known what to say.  It's just been day-in and day-out kinda stuff here in Canada.  From nursing visits, to visiting family and friends, doing laundry etc. A week or so ago, Kylie, Teddy and I went north to Muskoka to pick up our truck.  We were absolutely astonished when friends up there pooled their money and did a bunch of work on it.  From new brakes and tires to a new exhaust system, our big Suburban got a new lease on life.  We are so very grateful! We stayed with Nate's cousins, Tim and Karla and had a great time together.  The weather was amazing so we went to the park and played around outside.  Below is Kylie and her cousin, Pyper, four-wheeling on their prope
