It's not that my Caronport life is so much busier than my Mexico life. My routine is different though and I definitely spend less time at the computer which results in fewer emails and fewer blog posts... have you noticed? So here's a quick review of significant events...
We spent Thanksgiving weekend driving around Saskatchewan in order to have three turkey dinners in as many days! We got to spend time in Swift Current on Saturday with my Grandma, Uncle Ron & Auntie Trudy; this picture is Sunday with Uncle Art, Auntie Linda, Vickie (not shown) Pam & Jessie; and Monday in Warman & Saskatoon with Scott's parents and so many relatives that I won't start naming them.
After owning our new Uplander only something like two weeks we drove it into a coyote on the way home from Swift Current on the night of Oct 17. It did almost $4,000 damage to the front of the van. Consequently, we were without a vehicle for the next three weeks during which we had to rely on the kindness of friends (thanks Pat for driving out to save us in the middle of the night)
Then it was out to Steinbach on Oct 19 to report with the Board of Missions. That was the purpose of the trip, but we were able to celebrate Thanksgiving yet again with my family (no turkey this time, but Nicaraguan food which I think is actually more traditional for us to have when we're together) Friday morning we woke up to find snow that wasn't there the night before. We all had lots of fun playing together and teaching the kids to make snowballs. Our first romp in the snow for many years!

It is so good to see Pam in the picture. I have not seen her in years and years. Wish I could have been there.
Thanks for the update. It's always nice to hear what's going on for all of you and see the pictures!

Elisa,
I am so thankful that we have been re-connected thanks to Briercrest. I have just enjoyed spending time with you and our families together. It makes me sad to think that I will be saying goodbye in two weeks.

Snow! It seems so early this year but I suppose it's because last year was a brown Christmas. Most of my kids that I teach here haven't seen snow--that would be neat to have your kids experience snow for the first time or the first time in a long time!
Hi Elisa and Scott. This is just a quick note to let Scott know that I'm praying for him. I know that deadlines are coming up and that he must be busy. I'm a bit jealous that I'm not there, but also looking forward to getting back into ministry.
