After Luc finished classes in Italy we went to…

  1. Brussels
  2. Atlanta (for GC session)
  3. Tennessee (Southern Adventist University)
  4. Oshawa, Ontario
  5. British Columbia
  6. South Dakota
  7. Hollywood
  8. Bangkok, Thailand
  9. And finally arrived at our new home– East Timor (known locally as Timor-Leste)

So, there is OBVIOUSLY a large gap of fantastic travels here, but this list is the best I can do for now.  We have been in Timor-Leste for about a month and a half now, and we LOVE IT!  We are getting settled and are really enjoying our new home and new friends here.

This year I am home schooling the kids– 1st grade and 3rd grade.  I have been at it for a week now, and I can tell this will be a whole other adventure for sure!

Luc is starting an ADRA Timor-Leste office here and is quite excited about the challenge.  There is SO much aide work needed here, so finding ADRA donor country offices to support Timor-Leste should be the easy part.  Knowing where to start with the projects will be another story!

Thank you all for your support.  Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers!

So our whole household didn’t quite fit in our allotted 20 foot container! So unfortunately we had to dig out several large pieces of furniture to leave behind… including our beloved babyfoot table (foozball)!

First we took all 16 kids to Pizza Inn where they played in the play area until the pizza was ready. After eating, we headed over to a trampoline place where the kids jumped to their hearts’ content. And finally, we headed back home to our courtyard for cake and then a candy hunt in the school courtyard in front of our house. http://picasaweb.google.com/asabot/JeremyS6thBirthday ]]> http://sabot.ca/blog/?feed=rss2&p=310 0 Mardi Gras 2010 http://sabot.ca/blog/?p=309 http://sabot.ca/blog/?p=309#comments Tue, 16 Feb 2010 14:34:00 +0000 Anita Sabot http://sabot.ca/blog/?p=309 P2168994 P2168950 P2168940
