The Last Week in Winnipeg

We are down to the final week in Winnipeg, and things are starting to really wrap up. I (John) left work for the last time on Friday, and I have to say it was a bit of an odd feeling wrapping things up. I'm sure that Ian, Perry, Kurt, Tom, Geoff and all the rest of the eHealth people will make do without me, but they sure are taking on a lot. It will be very interesting to see how things look in three years!

We have just celebrated Thanksgiving at home and at church. As usual, its been a great weekend to reflect on how good we have it in North America, at least at the material level. Much turkey and pie has reinforced the need for exercise. We also had our blessing/send-off at church, which we very much appreciated, and for us it reinforced the idea that it takes a church to send out an family on an MCC assignment.

Ahead of us now is a weekend of leave taking and wrapping up. We are going to miss all of our friends and family a lot! We have a few items to take care of before we leave, including selling the Honda. If you are at all interested, please give us a call. Without being too tounge-in-cheek, buying our car at this time would make you a blessing to us. And its not like this is some terrible charity case car, its really very decent and reliable.

Its a 98 Honda Civic LX, four door, 5 speed with AC and remote start. We are the third owner, Stacey Boschman, our sister-in-law owned it before us, and she bought is from one of her relatives. Long story short, a reliable and practical car thats good on gas. Please give us a call at 781 9989 if you are at all interested.

We got a picture of our house in White River. The picture really has us excited! If you look closely, you will see that there are mountains in the background. We have been told that the C4L campus is on a bit of a hill, and is quite scenic.
