Thank you!

This past month has been a busy one. The end of June was full of end of the school year trips and events. Adriena graduated grade 12 , and we were so happy to be able to attend her grad ceremony and banquet. Lucas and Levi finished grade 10 and 7, packed up all their school supplies and said some emotional goodbyes to teachers and friends. It’s a strange feeling that they aren’t going back to Abbotsford Christian School next year. ACS has been so helpful in helping me plan for the boys education while we are in Zambia (thank you Monica!!!!!) 

AJ has been finishing up a job in Vancouver and the timing is working perfectly with our move to Africa. He can finish this job in July and his next one should be waiting for him when we come home in August 2023! 

This is my last week of cleaning most of my clients houses. Now I have a few weeks to get mine ready for our renters! What an answer to prayer. We have renters for our place from just after we leave til we come home again, and the best part is that the house is being rented out fully furnished. We barely have to pack a thing! Such a relief! 

John and Susan did a presentation about where we are going, what we are doing, and what Seeds of Hope all does. Thank you John and Susan, not only for presenting, but for the work you do for these kids. We are so happy to get to be a part of what you are doing! Also a big thank you to everyone who came out to share this evening with us. We are grateful for every person who has encouraged us as we plan for this year away. We are so thankful for your continued prayers and for your financial support. Without all of you behind us, we wouldn’t be able to make all of this happen. Thank you for partnering with our family 

As we write this, we are still waiting for Lucas and Levi’s passports to come. I just received an email from our MP today that he talked to the passport office on our behalf and the applications have now been marked urgent. Please pray that they come nicely in the mail for us in the next few weeks. We are preparing ourselves for spending a night or two on sleeping on the street in Vancouver, but we sure hope we don’t have to!!
