Right now in Sherbrooke it is currently 33 degrees and we are expecting our first big snow this weekend! The high has been in the 40s this week and we are slowly getting used to the colder weather (if you can get used to it being from San Diego!) We have 5 weeks of class left before we come to California for a short break during our Christmas vacation from school. We will be at Rolling Hills Covenant Church in Rolling Hills, CA on Sunday, Dec. 13th, Shadow Mountain Community Church in El Cajon, CA on Sunday, December 20th and on Sunday morning December 27th we will be at Calvary Church of Santa Ana in Santa Ana, CA and that evening we will be at Warner Avenue Baptist Church in Huntington Beach, CA. We hope to see many of you at these various churches while we are home!

HERE IT IS!

Well, we finally did it! We started a blog to keep people up-to-date on our lives both here and overseas (when we eventually get there). We can share pictures and tell people what is going on by posting our information on the blog. This means no more mass e-mails :) People can subscribe to the blog and then everytime we post something, it will be sent to you automatically as an e-mail (at least, that's the idea, if we can figure it out). We hope this works as a good communication network to stay in touch with people. There is also a way for you to post comments on our blog.

ITS A BOY!

Tammi Lynne and Rodney Kent Dyrud had a baby boy last night Sun Sept 28,2008 at 11:46pm. His name is Justice Kent Dyrud; he is 8 lbs, 20 1/2 inches long and so far the health baby we (Tammi and I) have been praying for. Thank you for all of your prayers. Here is one of his first pictures. I am currently working on getting a video posted.

Reflecting on the light

 I was reminded this week of something that happened while we were in French Language School in Quebec, Canada in 2009-2010 before heading to Africa. We had just arrived and were getting settled into our apartment for the school year when the power went out in our building. Since all of our candles and flashlights were still mostly packed, we turned on a small flashlight that Rodney had on his key ring and tried to locate a larger source of light, not knowing how long the power might be off. Just then, there was a knock at our door. We didn't know a soul in the apartment building so I didn't know who would be coming to our door. I opened the door and the woman from across the hall was standing there with a lit candle in her hand. She spoke only French and I spoke only English at that point, but through hand gestures I figured out that she had brought us this candle and wanted us to keep it until the power came back on. I think I managed a nod and a smile as she went back ...
