Our current home...in chaos!

Three things that really cause me to exercise patience are;
computers that don't work (or me not knowing how to work it), losing something, and moving large items!!! So, I'm def. not looking forward to the moving ahead but, I am looking forward to being there! I know this picture doesn't show much but its the area between our bedroom and bathroom--we can't really move inside of our place right now!

Trips I'd Recommend



Gary would probably also make me put a picture of Stein Valley in here but I have to admit it wasn't my favourite...a 7 day hike amongst bear country while only seeing a person after 3 days AND ending in Lytton with 45+ C with a 50lb backpack and no water was not the best memory for me.

School for Nyima

Update: our school has currently raised $28,000 which not only pays for the school but now helps contribute to teacher salaries, desks, and tuition fees!!
Fraser Valley Christian High (the school Gary and I work at) is currently trying to raise $25,000 to build an elementary school in Sierra Leone. This is in a village that our principal, Dennis Degroot visited a year ago. So far, students have raised $16,000 by having a penny drive and asking neighbours and friends, or, even using their own money. We're hoping to raise the last $9,000 in this next week! If anyone is interested in donating, you can get a tax reciept for gifts more than $25. Cheques are payable to Fraser Valley Christian High-African school project. It's always awkward asking for money, but, there is money out there to be given and it is for a wonderful cause. I know first hand how much education is valued in Africa, and, what a difference it can make! If you want more info, you can check our school website at www.fvchs.bc.ca.
