I started my new job at YFC on the 11th of January and life has been fun ever since! I'm feeling quite settled already, and quite enjoy most of it. I would still really appreciate prayer for us while we raise support, and as I take on the roles my job requires. We would also really appreciate prayer for Lindsay and where he's meant to be.
I am excited as I see God move around me. I hear so many more stories of God, now that I am at YFC, it is really inspiring to hear how the Lord has transformed young peoples lives, and how zealous those young people become for God. Please pray for this ministry that I have become a part of, that we would do the Lords will, and be focused on HIM.
God Bless

Arrived home (finally)
I really don't enjoy all the travelling to and fro between the UK and Canada, but the journey back to Canada this time was definately the worst.
Saturday morning we were woken early by heavy winds, and looking out of the bedroom window showed damage to neighbouring houses and gardens. This made us a little nervous about our flight being delayed, so we were happy when we arrived at the airport to discover that our flight to Amsterdam was on time. However, when we were checking in our bags, we were informed that our flight from Amsterdam to Minniapolis was delayed until Sunday morning and that we would be put up in a hotel for the night, but that we wouldn't be able to retrieve any toiletries or nightwear now that our bags were checked in...yay (not).
The hotel in Amsterdam was really nice with good food, so we were happy that at least our stay would be comfortable. The airline provided us with some basic toiletries and a change of socks, so I didn't feel as skanky as I might have done.
Sunday morning arrived and we left Amsterdam with no hassles. At the other end we arrived at 11.30am, we were given boarding passes for our flight to Saskatoon, which didn't leave til 9pm. So with 9 hours to pass by we went to the Mall of America which is just a 10 minute metro ride from the airport. We really didn't do much there except to eat and wander around. There was a cheerleader competition on there, so there seemed to a million cheerleaders milling around.
We finally arrived safe and sound in Saskatoon at 11.30pmish to find that it was -30 (YIKES)
We're both still a little fuzzy with jet lag, but glad to be back.
I'll be putting photos up soon from Christmas.

Having your cake and eating it.
We are loving being in the UK.
L is enjoying the break, while I am catching up on all the news, and being sentimental.
I have been asking God why the UK has to be so flipping far away from Canada. I am starting to feel more at home in Canada, but being back home is reminding me even more how much I love England....big Fat PANTS!
Don't worry I'll get over it, I know that God is always right in His plans. And don't get me wrong, I am looking forward to getting back to S'toon and my new job...I just like having my cake and eating it...that's all;-)
