Pompous Palms

As I sauntered home with the students the other night, amused by the tall coconut palms, all pompous and flared out against the black, starry sky, gratitude welled up in my heart -that God has been so good to bring me back here. As difficult as it always is to leave family and friends in Canada for an uncertain amount of time, I am so delighted that God has led me to Guyana. I often think of my time here as a gift...

Hello Friends!

I apologize for the delay in update...I arrived in Parika the day before our Discipleship Training School (DTS) began so I really had to hit the ground running as I am director of the school.

I have truly appreciated your prayers through this busy week - God has been so faithful to give me wisdom in leading/administrating the DTS and in managing my time so I can recharge. Transition back to life in Guyana had been a breeze and it feels like I hardly left -thank you for praying for me!

I've enojyed catching up with neighbours and still have some to visit and I eagerly anticipate the next chapter of our children's literacy club, starting up this Wednesday.

DTS has been running smoothly this first week. There is such a difference from last year with more staff and experience and I'm sure it helps that us staff have weathered some communication challenges and grown closer to one another over this past year. I praise God for the unity and love among us. May we keep pressing into Him for humility and guidance!

I hope to post some pictures this week!
