WE MADE IT!! We have been here for about 1 month now and are LOVING it! We left Michigan excited for the new drive to Canada (we are used to just going back and forth from MI and PA and we were ready for something new). After about 1 hour into the farmlands of Canada the excitement began to dwindle, we didn't even get lunch until around 3:30 because there was about an hour between food places! We arrived on campus around 5 and eventually met up with our host family who invited us right over for dinner! After dinner a whole pile of staff helped us move into our new apartment, which is amazing by the way... we have 3 bedrooms.. no running water still... but at least we have an extra room! We have taken quite a while to get all our stuff packed away with having a little one but are finally almost settled! We spent the first week unpacking and getting to know the staff. We have 4 main teachers for the first year and each of them and their families had us over for a meal that week! Then we had 2 weeks of orientation where we got an overview of our classes for the next 2 years. Last week we started classes for real... we have a whopping 21 students in our class! We have 2 classes right now. Foundations for Living where we learn characteristics of God and Christian living principles and Animism which is the main belief system of tribal people.
We have really been enjoying it here so far. We love the classes, we are having fun exploring Canada and getting to know our classmates and the staff! Here are some pictures around the campus....
Sad to say... We have had to bring out the long sleeves.
