Packing Day
Yesterday was the very last day of our training with NTM! It’s hard to believe years of classes that we’re finally done. We’ll be graduating with a BA of Intercultural Studies, which honestly really doesn’t matter to us or most of our class since most of us will be working with NTM anyways. After finishing [...]
Read onChurch BBQ
We been able to enjoy plenty of get togethers lately as our time here in Durham comes to an end. Today our church held a BBQ after the main service. It was a great time of fellowship as well as a chance to meet some new people. A few of the families who lived next [...]
Read onBelly Laugh
Talk about giggly! Canaan seemed to be quite delirious in the bath tonight. A little over tired I think. I was growling at him with a wash cloth stuck to my face and apparently that was just plain hysterical. Nothing beats watching your father make a fool of himself. The video camera battery was dead [...]
Read onIce Cream & Friends

Read onCritter’s Grad
Yesterday we were able to watch Deb’s little sister graduate! We traveled down to Jackson, Michigan on Friday, thankfully it was an uneventful trip. Although it is a holiday weekend in Canada the traffic was fine and the border crossing was smooth sailing. We’re staying with our friend Matt & Jazzy Bennett. Matt and I [...]
Read onImmunizations – check!
Yesterday we were able to complete another task from our Guinea check list, the list is getting smaller! We traveled to Walkerton (incidentally Canaan’s birthplace) and visited the public health nurse to get all the vaccinations necessary to travel to Guinea. We discovered that we probably should have had these done a couple of weeks [...]
Read onDeb’s Second Mother’s Day
There’s a holiday for everyone and everything these days. Seems a little silly at times, but one of the originals that I think are important is mother’s day! Yesterday we celebrated Mother’s day at my parents, we had a BBQ, some extra chocolaty cake (Deb and mom’s favourite) and ice cream. It was a fun, [...]
