Our family visiting with our friend and colleague Sharlene Craig
We enjoyed our last night in Toronto visiting with several friends over supper with Sharlene Craig. It has been a great week here in Ontario but we weren't able to connect with everyone we had wished to see. We were very glad that on this last evening we were able to enjoy some time with Katie Carline and the Rowely family. Katie is the daughter of our team mates Paul and Kelly Carline: She moved to Toronto to study at Tyndale University where she is a second year history student. Katie will be returning to Nairobi next month with three of her friends on a short term mission trip that will include a week with the Iftin program at the Eastleigh Community Centre.
Erica and Zak Rowley
We were also thrilled to see Zak Rowely and to meet his parents. Zak had lived with us in Nairobi for a few weeks last fall and shared with us in the Iftin program where he was a huge hit with the refugee kids and Iftin students. Yesterday afternoon, Zak and Katie took Tristan and Emma to see the 3-D movie "How to Train Your Dragon" -- they loved it! While Ava napped at home with Sharlene, Erica and I had a chance to run some errands and drop in on a few friends.

Today we are flying East to begin visiting churches in the maritimes, we are looking forward to reunions with our family and friends. It has been a long journey and we can't wait to be back!
