Once again the kiddies were excited to pack for the plane ride to Canada.. R stated it was going to be too cold there and he would rather go to Florida. We compromised and decided to make a layover on our next flight south. We are working on our French accents, practicing bonjour and orevoir although little J keeps shouting ole’. DD seems to really get in to the role play of it all as she designed herself an igloo out of J’s play yard and some blankets. I believe I saw them traveling by sled. We carved images in ivory (soap that is) It was so very soft to work with that R ended up making snow instead. We collected beautiful leaves and pressed them between wax paper. They are so pretty. We made Aurora Borealis pictures with oil pastels. Then we had "High Tea" actually more of a "Low Tea" from what we understand about the tradition and Pancakes with maple syrup that was actually from Canada.. Last night we had "snowballs" ( really just vanilla ice cream) with maple syrup. Because Canadians eat everything with maple syrup eh?

As DD and I finished up reading Cam Townsend she turned to me and said, "I want to go there. Instead of bible college, instead of college, That’s what I want to do..."So we’ll just see as the Lord leads. It’s amazing to watch her as she just becomes more and more passionate about people and reaching them for Christ. I wonder what He has in store for her. And I pray that God would help me to equip her with all good things to accomplish it.
