We are almost done with our second semester and we're in the process of taking our final exams. After we finish exams on Wednesday, we're taking a family vacation to Niagara Falls for four days! Then we will start the Conversation Course on the 26th of this month. The Conversation Course will really improve our French and we are looking forward to that! In other news, we are at 85% of our monthly ministry support and 94% of our outgoing ministry support! Have a great weekend everybody :) Here are two videos for your enjoyment. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=diWIb1Jguf0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2xeLEWQvLI

Hello everyone! We are glad to have a short break for Easter with no classes on Friday or Monday. My (Tammi) parents are here visiting for our break and we are excited to spend this time with them. We are going to spend some time here in Sherbrooke and we are also going to Quebec City which is about 2 hours away. It is the oldest city in North America and everyone has told us that we have to go to Quebec City while we are here. We have three weeks of the Intermediate Class left and then our Conversation Course starts at the end of the month. We have a lot of exams and papers coming up and we will also be sharing our ministry with MAF during the weekly chapel service at school. We will be speaking entirely in French for our presentation on the 14th of April and we are excited to share with the students and faculty about how God has called us to the ministry of MAF. Have a blessed Easter; HE IS RISEN!!! Here is a video; enjoy :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXowCMuiAVY

Hello everyone. Last Friday we went on our field trip to the Sugar Shack. We got to take a walk in the forest and see where they harvest the maple syrup from the maple trees. Then we got to eat pure maple syrup mixed with fresh snow. It was quite the Quebecois experience! The weather is still trying to make up it's mind as to whether it is winter or spring. On Wednesday morning, it was snowing when we woke up and on Thursday it was 60 degrees F and we played outside for the afternoon in the sunshine. Easter break is just around the corner and my (Tammi) parents are coming out to visit! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8b201a3rc8

Tammi and Justice made a short visit to San Diego during Spring Break from school. Justice and Grandpa had a great time at the go-cart track watching the go carts and driving the pretend ones :) Nana and Justice (and Mommy) enjoyed a day at the beach, complete with chasing seagulls and watching a Bobcat shovel sand on the beach. We also spent a day at the zoo where we saw all kinds of animals. At the end of February, Rodney and I went to a banquet hosted by the school. It was a good time of food, fun and fellowship with friends. We start back to school tomorrow and have a lot to do before we finish our courses in June. It was nice to have a break and the weather in Canada was beautiful when we returned :) Here is a video that I took at the zoo. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEvOpWJNT8E

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AzhHS6wuJ2E Hello family and friends. We are doing well here in Canada; we took our first set of exams last week and we've had this week full of more exams, oral projects and a field trip. The snow is still falling every once in a while and we are looking forward to our week-long spring break that starts the first week of March. Justice is growing by leaps and bounds and eating us out of house and home...... I can't image what it will be like when he's 14! Thanks for keeping up with us; we sure appreciate the prayers and encouragement :)
