Saskatoon Whirlwind

It's been a wild two weeks in Saskatoon already and there is another two weeks to go. We have managed to have lots of visits with family, a few sleepovers with the cousins, and even some meals with friends. The highlight of our arrival back in Canada was - would you believe - playing in the snow! There was just a little left in Grandpa's back yard, and the kids managed to play in the snow at least 6 times in the first two days. We soon wished that the temperatures were a little warmer, as Easter weekend was frigid for Africaners like ourselves.

We have really been blessed by the outpouring of love that so many of people have showered us with. It is a little overwhelming to have so much attention from so many people in such a short time, but we are BLESSED! We are looking forward to visiting as many people as we can while we are here. Sharing in your lives and being able to pray together has been a real treat.










We are greatful for this time to grieve and rejoice with family and friends, and yet we look forward to our return to Botswana. We will be moving to Maun in the month of May and will be starting a new phase of our life in the country. We are excited for what God has in store for us there, but will miss the dear friends that we have made in Gaborone (and of course everyone here in Canada!)
