saying goodbye is never easy..

sorry it has been so long since my last post. as the last days draw near, we find ourselves wrapped up in dinner with families, and squeezing in last minute activities.

this past weekend, a mission team from florida came up. 2 of the guys stayed at sheridan with us in carson's extra room. we spent time with the team, throwing block parties, and doing youth events with them. stephanie and jennifer (the 2 girls from the family at sheridan) came to the youth event with us (5 pin bowling)! we had a blast. we are trying to find every bit of extra time to spend with the precious family at sheridan before we leave.

as we pack up and prepare to fly home, we are looking for ways to further the ministries we helped start here in the area. aubrey and nishika have decided/agreed to continue the bible study at UTM with kevin, and possibly some other interested people, which is very exciting!! also, we are hoping to connect the family from sheridan with the verbeeks, who also live in oakville. we're not really sure what God had/has in store for the children of floradale park, but we trust that He will continue to work there.

church was good yesterday, but hard. team habakkuk had a time to share about the summer and encourage the Sanctuary, but we also had to say goodbye to our new family. it was tough, but also exciting, knowing that God's work is being done here in the toronto area, and that we have family here to come back and visit.

so my plane leaves on saturday, and this week will be full of goodbyes..be praying for the team as we part ways, for safe travel and for the family and friends we are leaving behind! as always, your prayers have been an amazing support and encouragement for me. much love!
