There have been a lot of good byes the past week or so...we are ready to go now. Not completely packed yet, but ready to go.
Our commissioning was last Sunday which was an overwhelming event of support and sending from our church family - we are so blessed - and we know that in God's power we are ready to go.
We spent a relaxing week at my (april's) parent's place, getting a lot of little and some big things done. What I would do without mom sewing up the bottom of a pair of pants, I have no idea; she is a whiz at those things. I never know whether or not spending time with family is a good or bad thing...it just makes us miss them more when we're away. We are so blessed with such wonderful, loving, supportive family.
Now this weekend we are doing more little things that we are realizing that we should have done while were away this past week. But we also we are able to spend time with Kevin's family for Halie's first birthday...we'd post the video of Halie stuffing her face with cake, but it's way too long!
So, provided that Ike is all cleaned up and things are clear, we are ready to go for Tuesday afternoon from Toronto with a layover in Houston.

HA! First comment.
Hey guys.
Just wanted to post to say
a) We will miss you ever so much back here in cold wintery Canada.
b) That I believe that God will do amazing and wonderous things through you guys for the Nicaraguans. I believe that you two will be fantastic missionaries and will represent our faith, country, and church well. I'll be praying for you.
How's that for a bit of online encouragement. :P
Know for sure that I, for one, will be following this blog closely for adventures and exploits from Nicaragua.
Happy Travels!
God Bless!

Hey guys,
I will continually be praying for you as well. It's been great meeting you and hanging out the little that we did. I will be praying for your safety and that the lives of many people may be touched through your good works!
All the best,
