We are down to our last 12 hours or so in Canada before we move on again. In many ways, it's hard to believe that our time here is once again drawing to a close. What a time it's been! We're so thankful to the Lord for everything! Especially for blessing the arrival of our new son, but also for all the reconnecting with loved ones! We will miss you all!
Tomorrow we fly to Honolulu, and after a couple night's rest, on to Sydney, and then eventually to Perth area where we'll spend the next 6 weeks or so. So even though it's hard to say goodbye, and the pain is definitely there, it is time for us as a family to move on and get one step closer to being home again in PNG.
With not much time left and still packing to do, here's a bunch of photos from our months in Canada--in no particular order!

There was so much more to our time here, there's no way we can even show it all in photos.
Our hearts are filled up with the wonderful memories and loved ones who support and pray for us.
May our God be with you till we meet again. |

It was so beautiful to have had you here again. God be with you as you go glorify him around the world - we'll keep trying to bring glory to him in our little corner. We love you all. Allan, Alice, Jacoba, Jonah (the one missing on the photo :-)), Simon, and Allie.
