Calvin arrived on Monday, May 16th. He weighed in
pounds 1 once and was 20.5 inches long. We are so tha
ful for everyone who has kept us in their prayers dur
this pregnancy. Karina and Calvin are doing just great
And Karina is recovering nicely. All of our kids were s
excited to come and meet mommy and Calvin after the
surgery, and all Faith wanted to do was hold her new b
brother. Please continue to pray for patience for our
family as Karina recovers from another surgery. Gods
hand has shown us His faithfulness and perfect timingiving us
Calvin before our departure for Africa. All G
to Him!!
We are in PACKING mode!! God has been guiding our
footsteps along this journey and we are finally coming
the point where we are packing and getting ready to s
difficult goodbyes. We had two wooden shipping crate
built, and we are starting to fill them with everything
that we will need in Madagascar. Things like tools, bik
clothes, school curriculum and supplies, favorite toys,many more
items. We will also arrange to have a vehic
purchased and shipped down from Europe, because it
MUCH cheaper than buying one in country.
Praise God our house is done! Thanks to many individ
who helped us finish up all the jobs to make it saleabl
The house has been on the market for two months now
and has had two lookers. Please pray that God brings
buyer for our house. We know and trust that He will w
out all the details as we continue to move forward.

Many thanks to all of thespecial gifts
received over the past 2 months.
We only have 9% left to gowith the ongoing monthly
support of our ministrywith MAF! To put that intoperspective: if
each of our
current monthly donorswished to increase theirsupport by $10 the
targetgoal would be easily met!
We began raising awareness and support for MAF in August last
year, and we have been
so encouraged to see the faithfulness of God bringing in the
support thus far.
Truly, its been His hand moving those individuals to be a part
of our team.
We are trusting that God will provide the remaining amount as we
make the move to
Quebec.
s almost here! We are getting very excited to travel across
Canada and
xperience living in Quebec City. Our flights have been booked
for July 13, so the
ountdown to our departure is officially on! Another MAF couple
just finishing their
rench Language training has been getting things all prepared for
us. They will be
here for a bit to help us get settle in and show us around
before they head away for
heir final training in preparation for the Congo. We are so
thankful for all they have
one in preparation for us. Our main purpose of being in Quebec
City is to learn
rench, the official language in Madagascar. It is exciting to
think that our children will
e growing up in a bi-lingual environment and will one day be
bi-lingual in their own
ountry. However, this is also very overwhelming for us as
adults, having next to no
rench in our background growing up! We are praying that God will
help us absorb the
nguage and enable us to retain all we need to know. From August
until January, we
ill have a tutor teaching us (Rob and Karina) each day; the
remainder of our day will
e spent studying homework and exposing ourselves to the language
out in the com-
munity. Personally, I (Karina) am looking forward to sitting in
on activities like story
me at the local library with my kids and hopefully getting
involved with church Bible
udies. We are also excited to be able to participate in many of
the festivals that are
eld in Quebec City during the year. Weve been told the culture
is definitely unique
ithin Canada. This first move will be a baby step into a new
culture in our home
ountry as we prepare for Madagascar next Winter!
