Arrival

After a delayed flight with a diversion over the arctic circle in Greenland (with some incredible views of remote snow covered mountains), a surprisingly quick immigration process and a convoluted paperwork party at the cargo terminal I made it to Canada. Needless to say, despite having had a long journey in more ways than one, I was glad to finally arrive, as was Katelynn.

Now begins the process of settling into a new country. It's not actually that new to me, I have been here 9 times previously including a stint working for a summer camp for 2 months, but it's different this time. Katelynn and I are also realising we need to continue to trust God for everything we need, the lesson in faith is still in progress.

More to come soon...

It is time

The bags have been packed. Emotional goodbyes have been made. It's time to go. Katelynn and I have spent the last 15 months talking and dreaming about the day when we won't be separated any more by an ocean, I can't believe that this day is now upon us. For me this is filled with excitement juxtaposed by a few nerves and sadness as I leave my home, my family and friends for a new adventure in Canada.

Things to pray for: The practical aspects (i.e job, apartment, car, all the government paperwork like driving license, Social Insurance number etc), and to get settled into church, social groups and finally bring about a degree of stability after months of being in limbo, and for Katelynn and I as we transition into the new arrangement of being together in Canada. Also pray for my family as we all adjust to me being apart from them.
