Travelling All Over the Map!

Well, Opa and I are back home again from travelling from Jarvis to Holland Marsh to visit all the team members in their placements. We simply had an excellent time. What a privilege it was to see the team in such a wide assortment of placements being humble servants in the name of Jesus.
No matter where we went, the people in charge had high praise for the team members and didn't ever want to see them go. They were, however, very impressed by their participation in the Belize Coop Program.

On our journey we found:
-Lindsay working in a classroom at Calvin Christian in Hamilton
-Ben and Meghan surrounded by students at Dundas Christian
-Liesl working at a vet clinic in Lynden
-Nathaniel surrounded by students at Brantford Christian
-Elena serving hot chocolate at the Winter Carnival at Holland Marsh Christian
-Hannah leading fitness activities at the Holland Christian Homes in Brampton
-Rachel surrounded by students doing art in a public school in Brampton

We visited but missed:
-Emily providing Valentine's entertainment at the Christian nursing home in Burlington.
-Nathan working in the office at Voice for the Martyrs
-Nicholas doing carpentry at a seniors home in Toronto
-Laura working with students at Timothy Christian in Rexdale
-Rachelle working with young students at Willowdale Chrisitian
-Aislin cutting hair in a senior's home in Mississauga close to where I was born and raised

Those we still have to visit are Alexandrea, Stan, and Lauren. They can run and hide, but we'll find them. Not to boast, but Rick and I never did get lost even though some of our friends might wish we would from time to time.

We also had an excellent Parent Information Evening at Toronto on Thursday night. Two of our students, Laura and Nicholas did incredible DVD Power Point presentations at the meeting.
Thank you, also, for your excellent encouragement and support!

Kathy and Omar are still putting the final touches on the operations in Belize. Boy, do those placements look great. They have done a herculean effort on our behalf.
We are truly blessed.

One more week of placements, then packing and tearful goodbyes, and we will rendezvous in the wee hours of the morning at a Timmy's in Fruitland. It may be our last sampling of this Canadian icon until we return. Maybe we could shove a few tins in our luggage for our Canada celebrations in Belize.

Blessings as you all are!
K!
