I am getting older

This is Kelly Issel, when I first met her many years ago she was about 4 years old.  I watched over her in the nursery and then taught her at Sunday School.  I got to see her while in Canada after many years and she is a beautiful teenager who has committed to praying for me while on the field!

I love road trips, especially in the winter

Driving through Rossland, BC

This was on one of the passes on the way to Quesnel, we stopped to stretch our legs.

Oh Canada!!

After 3 years of being in Africa, I am back in Canada!! I have not been diligent in posting blogs in the last few months, a combination of lots of travel, business and procrastination.  I hope to get better at it this year :0))


While in Canada, I have spent time with friends and family during the Christmas season.

A fun day with a friend

Driving through town with Shannon

One of the many funny signs we pass by

We drove to the hotel for a few hours of relaxation
saw the zebras but they did not want to pose with Shannon

The local 5 star hotel allows us to come by, it is right on the water
so its very beautiful and relaxing

Tourists taking pictures of monkeys

We wait until the sun sets

Then head home for a braai

One way of getting diesel in Africa

I was happy Shannon had long arms

Teacher Training in Nsongwe Village

Cristy was teaching on the value of the child, using trees as a prop

Janet taught on the importance of books, she had great stick puppets 

Jessi was sewing a make and take we made with the teachers,
a rag doll stuffed with pieces of fabric




They all love their picture taken

Elephants on the side of the road


Most days when I see elephants I am always driving by them, some days I
remind myself to (stop and smell the roses) this was one of those days.  I just never get
tired of watching the wildlife here!

Everyday sights in Africa of children doing their chores

These children are carrying water to their gardens at school,
which provide veggies for their lunch.

The boys are taking home grass that they have cut down
to be used for roofs, fencing and other other things

Pumping water for their households can sometimes take half a day
