I thought I’d first start with what I consider to be significant news. Amy is now in Dunham, QC, a small town in Quebec south of Montreal near the US border at Jeunesse en Mission/Youth With A Mission. She is enrolled in their DTS (Discipleship Training School). There are YWAM bases all over the world. She chose this one because of its focus on music and arts.
Amy will be spending three months there in lectures and the like. Then, she will be off with a team to some part of the world to connect with and touch the lives of others. The destination has yet to be solidified. Initial options were Mexico, France, India, China, and South Africa. Amy’s desire was for South Africa. We’ll see where they end up.
Given her surroundings, Amy is developing her French. She has led worship in both languages. I’m so proud of her. Félicitation!
On the home front, it’s a bit weird without Amy around. This is the first time Wendy and I have one of the kids away for an extended period. We realize that even though Amy is coming back in six months, things will be different in some ways. I miss her at the dinner table – especially her laughter. Amy has the most contagious laugh; and we love to laugh at the supper table.
I pray Amy will do well and discover God’s plan and design for her life as she walks through this great journey.
