Getting packed up to go to Canada.

Well, it seems like it's been a while since I blogged - sorry! I tried once and the internet wasn't consistent enough to post. We have had a very busy last 2 weeks. We finished our language classes! Yeh! It was really great to take classes, but it was also really hard. Oh well, I guess anything worthwhile learning takes time. We returned to Tactic and jumped right into a week of celebrations. We were able to participate in all the schools' closing ceremonies and graduations which was a real treat. Arryn made a special presentation to the class she worked with most - she made all of them a little keepsake.

I turned 48 on October 26th and celebrated by sharing in Chicoy's first grad class (those graduating from Elementary school). There was a program in the morning and then a dinner in the evening. It is incredible to think of how the schools have grown over the past few years.

Today, we said goodbye to Larry, Val and Ksenya Schmidt who have been here for two months. It was great to have them here and I know Rocky appreciated working with Larry on the work sites, making plans for the future. So much is happening right now with the properties; it is very exciting.

We are also getting ready to pack our bags and return to Canada. The last two months have been productive for us. We hosted 2 teams, did 2 weeks of Spanish school, Rocky worked on plans for the new property, I worked on updating Impact Ministries documents - a seemingly endless job!

Thank you to all of you who have supported us this past year through your prayers and finances. We are truly grateful for your kindness and generosity. It has been an honour to be used by the Lord to build His kingdom, and we continue to be humbled by the fact that He chooses to use us.

God Bless you, Karren and Rocky
