Update - October ‘07
posted by Jesse on Monday, October 1, 2007 at 1:56 am
We would like to begin by saying thank you to all of you who have prayed for our re-enrollment process in language school and for our friends and co-workers, Jon and Heidi Huff. To give you an update, we have completely finished the process and all of our legal documents are in order. For the Huffs, there is some good news and some news that could be good or bad. The good news is that they will still be coming to Quebec and attending language school beginning in January. The less certain news is that they still are not sure if they will be required to pay the higher tuition rates. It seems that there is a lot of “mixed information” about the many details and effects of this new Quebec law as it relates to non-Canadian students. This could be a very good thing, however, because it means that there is still a chance that they will be able to pay the lower rate. Please continue to pray with us and them about this.
During this month, I had the great blessing of spending more time than normal with Joshua doing some special “Daddy and Joshua” things. It’s hard to believe how quickly he is growing up, so we are trying to “enjoy every minute of it” as we have been advised many times. About a week ago, he attempted to tell me for the first time that he loves me “with all his heart,” a phrase that he often hears from adults. However, in his four year old rendition of it he said, “Daddy, I love you all about my heart!” While it’s probably not grammatically correct, it sure sounded great to me! I didn’t have the heart to tell him the “right way” to say it, so he’s been telling us all about his heart for the past week.
We are now half way through the fall semester in language school and we have been learning many things lately, including pronoun complements, quantitive pronouns, endless verb tenses, and many other things guaranteed to bore you if I went into any further detail! Last week he had our mid-term tests, which we managed to survive, and we’re looking forward to the rest of our semester in our “quest for fluency!”
In the next few weeks we will be making some changes to our website and in the way we communicate with all of you. Our prayer letter will become more of a concise and quick update, outlining recent happenings and some prayer requests. Meanwhile our website will still contain all of its current information, with the addition of a personal blog, photo gallery, family videos, and automatic notifications when any of these are updated. Next month we will give you more details about these changes.
