Les amis de Joshua
posted by Jesse on Sunday, March 30, 2008 at 11:05 pm
Since arriving in Quebec, Joshua has had somewhat of a difficult time being away from all his friends and family. Add to that the fact that none of the children here speak English and you can imagine that this would get a little frustrating for a young boy. What has been really neat to see, however, is how Joshua has become very good friends with two sisters, Kelly and Lydia, who speak no English at all. Joshua has picked up some French words here and there, but he’s not really able to communicate at all in French. It’s amazing to see them play together though; somehow they manage to communicate through body language and the very little English/French that they know. They can play for hours like this.
This picture was taken on Easter Sunday, so I also included the one we took of our family and Malerie. By the way, Malerie will be leaving in four weeks, and will definitely be missed. She has been such a help and a blessing to our family, and we’re sad to see her go, but happy for her as well as she begins the next stage of her life. Please pray for us when she leaves as we will need to make many adjustments to our schedules and daily routines once she’s gone. Pray that Joshua can quickly adjust to this.
