Of interest was the drive up from Erie, PA It is my first trip to Canada and the border crossing was something I wasn't quite sure what it would be like. The person at the border asked me where my home base was, and I failed that question right off - I stammered and finally said "North Carolina" and which he said, well then, why do you have Tennessee tags and a Mozambique resident stamp in your passport? Where are you going in Canada? Yes, we are homeless vagabonds living out of our car. We had a nice discussion with him and he let us enter, but it did highlight the confusion about where 'home' is anymore! I just say that home is where Ann is at the moment.
We enjoyed the mission conference in Erie very much. This particular church has been very faithful to us and it was good to reconnect with this church and the folks we remembered so well from four years ago. And as is always the case, it is good to meet new missionaries from other fields and catch up on what God is doing in various parts of the world. In this case, we were with people representing China and the Philippines.
We hope to connect with OMS Canada in the next day or so also - they have been a great help to our field between the CMED program and the seminary.
Blessings this night.
One side note, Sarah and Mike were never phased about the chaos of driving in Mozambique. I was always impressed by that and understand now after driving from the Canadian border, through Toronto to their home! There were trained driving by learning to drive here!
