Leaving Canada: we iz confused

Today we leave Canada (our home and native land) and embark on another crazy adventure.  I'm not even talking about the 2 long days of travel ahead of us.  I'm talking about the crazy wild journey God has called us to go on.

In sum: Today is bittersweet.
Many have asked, so here it is:

We iz sadz: to be leaving Canada, our family and our friends.  We iz sadz to say goodbye to fish crackers, farmer sausages, hockey and Mac & cheese.

We iz excited: to be going to South Africa to serve and see our new friends.  We iz happy to see some mountains again & to be back in our apartment (your basement was great mom & dad, but it's just not the same!!!)

We iz confused.  We don't know how to feel.  So if we seem confused when you asked if we are excited, that's why.  We don't know what our feelings should be.  We are in uncharted territories with our emotions.  We are trying to figure it out ourselves.  And we are trying to be strong, we know where our strength comes from, and for that we are thankful.
