it's a new year!

Hello, everyone! Due to some issues with the blog we have not been posting for an embarrassing amount of time. For some unknown reason we still cannot post any pictures, so when that works again be prepared for a whole bunch of 'em!


Since we last posted we have moved back to Manitoba, did 10 widow/widower banquets, celebrated the birth of our Savior with many family and friends, and spent some precious time with the little niece, Shakirah Brielle, and Josh & Steph.
 Since the new year we have made over 600 birthday cards for the widows that will be mailed out anytime from now till June. We still have another 400+ more for the rest of the year. We are blessed to have so many friends that enjoy crafting like that!
After 3 months at home we were ready to get back on the road again, although we miss our home, church, family and friends when we are gone for 4 months at a time :)


As of now, we are travelling to our first stop on tour which is in Mountain Lake, Minnesota. Dad is driving the bus along a slightly snowy highway, Mom is preparing for the evening service, Julia is practising some vocals, Tania is sitting in the "co-pilot" seat uploading the blog :) , Tyrell is catching up on some math, and Lonita is busying herself by the writing desk. Jesus blessed us tremendously with a 1 minute border crossing yesterday, which we are very thankful for!
