*I wanted to share this with everyone, but I emailed Suzanne and so I share that email with you.
We just had a local ice hockey tournament and was busy sweating all weekend.
Tomorrow, I leave for Kuujjuaq and Yellowknife for two weeks as a badminton coach for the 2008 Arctic Winter Games. Dave is going as well, so we're excited about that.
Our wedding date has been set and it will be on July 12, 2008 in Oshawa.
Yeah, Dave and I got a job for the next couple of years in Beijing. I will be teaching grade 4 and Dave will be a highschool math teacher. I hope that we don't suffocate because of all the pollution. hehe Hopefully, we'll be able to catch some of the Olympics too.
The sunday school has been consist and the kids have been coming out quite regularly. A lot has been going on though. I received an anonymous letter from a parent saying that I was teaching anti-cree things at the church and threatened to go public. I was really upset, but I had a chance to share this with members of the community during a workshop, and I felt most ppl including the chief and reverend were supporting me. Ppl have stopped to say thank you and support me, so I'm feeling more uplifted. As soon as I was discouraged, God sent ppl to come and encourage me. I live solely by the grace of God. He even sent some random white lady from down south that had come up for a while to come to the school and say thank you for the work I've been doing. crazy, huh?
After that, I was asked to a prayer meeting last week and had a great time even though it was only 4 ppl. I hope that everything continues to go well and please pray that God will send someone to take my place when it is time for me to leave.
