Hey all, wow a lot has happened since I last read the blog.

What does JTM think its doing? I guess it's focus is really on Christian schools right now with this thing Harold is getting started. What does this mean? Pats what did you mean when you said JTM was "letting you go". Are you not sure about going back to Brazil now? I really need things written out in plain simple English for me to grasp it.

Markus is working late tonight because Gary emailed the school to check up on him and of course didn't meet with his expectations. I've spent the past two hours on line looking at job opportunities in Canada. I know Markus isn't ready to throw inthe towel yet, but he did say "we'll never be rid of Gary". We would all miss it terribly if we were to leave here now. Then I checked the blog and found out about this Brazil thing. I agree lets all move home again!!

Emily is requiring all the emotions that I can muster up. My friend, the child physocologist, said just love her all the time. Make sure she feels loved and secure at home. I have a wonderful group of women around me who are praying and speaking into Emily right now. i can't change her heart - that's the tough part of parenting. Her heart is between her and God, I can only PRAY.

Dwayne I'll look into those sandal things - please be patient though it could take a while to figure that one out.

This weekend we have our Christmas banquet. I again am in a lip synk group doing Point of Grace's Jingle Bell Rock song. It's the closest I'll ever get to singing in front of a group of people!! It'll be fun again. I do wonder though if one ever gets to old for this kind of fun!! Maybe once the kids start getting embarrassed by it. On Friday night I will help Gail Palsky (worked as a florist in Red Deer for 8 years) make 30 boutineers and corsages for two of the dorms. Then on Saturday I will be at Palmgarten dorm helping do the girls nails. It's all very exciting.

We're still homesick - doesn't anyone want to meet us in England for Christmas? Come on - Sherwood Forest/Nottingham, Yorkshire (James Harriot Country), Oxford (CSLewis), Buckingham Palace, Stoenhenge, etc... The housing is FREE!!

Okay - lets keep each other posted.

Love you all,
Teresa
