Adventures With Sarah

Hmmm. From a work perspective things have been pretty quiet for me since finishing term letters in Feb. But I have written a few reports this month and have really enjoyed that. It’s really great to interview someone and write an article for example, about our last year’s P7 class doing outreach in the community. Or all the secondary students having a camp/reunion week. It is almost like being there myself as I try to capture what happened the best I can. These have been inspiring stories for me. I have really enjoyed doing those reports.
Speaking of reports, I guess I have a report for all of you. Or should I say ‘we’ do. Seth will be a big brother in October! We are pretty excited and thankful for this blessing! I am just through the first trimester and am starting to feel more energy and less ‘yuck’. It is evident, as the little world around our oldest revolves obediently around him, that a sibling will be a positive thing for all of us! I’m not sure he will think so but in the long run he’ll thank us! Our tentative plan is that I will go to my grandparents’ in Minnesota around the end of August with Seth and Mark will come a few weeks later. Baby is due Oct 3 and we hope it comes on time! (Remember, historically our children are in no rush to be born). Mark will return to Uganda in Nov. and I will stay in the States. Then we will all spend Dec. and Christmas in Canada. These plans are all tentative and subject to change. But, Lord willing they will all happen! Anyway, as I sign off here, I would just like to give glory to God for His goodness and thank you all for your prayers. Please continue to pray specifically for health for me and our new little one. And, in closing, God has really answered prayers concerning work for Mark. Things have settled down and, although still busy, he is facing much less stress and I want to thank you all for prayers about that as well. Until next time, God bless! Sarah
