Return to Canada...already?

Believe it or not, two months from today I will be on my way back to Canada, to enjoy what's left of winter. It's hard to believe that my time here is coming to a close. I will be in Zambia until March 1, leaving me only 38 days to work on the farm. After that I get to see another similar project in Kenya and then visit Claudia for a couple of weeks and see where she is working. It means that I have been in Africa for four months. Now the question is, how many of you have missed me?!? Just kidding, you don't have to answer that.

As the end of my time here is fast approaching, I wanted to let everyone know that if they would like to send me mail, it would be smart to send it before the end of January. The mail system is only somewhat reliable here so to make sure it gets to me, I would suggest sending it before the end of January or at least by the end of the first week in February.

I'm sure the next month and a half in Zambia will be busy. There is always work to do in a garden and I will also want to make sure that when I leave it won't all fall apart.

Anyway, I think that is all for now. I hope everyone is having a great January and that it's not too cold! Send me an e-mail or message to let me know how you're doing! It's always great to hear from friends (and of course family).

Hi, Dan!

It's great to hear how you're doing. It sounds like a great experience. I'd love to hear more about the people you are helping there.

Your vacation to South Africa sounds like a wonderful experience. I'd love to see some more pictures of it sometime.

The quote you chose (which I didn't realize was St. Francis of Assisi) about preaching the gospel at all times, is one of my favorites. I had it posted in my work station at church for quite awhile. It's so good to remember it!

Blessings on your work and stay safe!

Sonja
