Yesterday Marianne's parents drove from Ottawa to Belleville so that we could all be together before heading off to Uganda. They arrived yesterday afternoon and stayed for coffee time and supper. Mike's Dad prepared a wonderful meal of chili lime pork chops, followed by a delicious apple dessert by Evita.
This morning, we all went to church together. Mike's Dad, who is the Assistant Pastor at their church, together with the Senior Pastor and head of the council of the elders invited us to the front to commission us for our journey. We feel blessed to have had so many sending prayers, also at our home church in Toronto, Marianne's parents' church in Ottawa, and with various fellowship groups that we are part of in Toronto.
Marianne's parents left Belleville today after lunch. But if you've ever been to our house for supper or spent much time with Marianne, you'll know that there always has to be a group photo. (As above and below!)
Our next post will be from Uganda. As they would say in Malawi, until then - tsalani bwino! (stay well!)
