Twice a week I teach Ayana and Moses’ school, and their favourite part is craft time at the end of the day. Recently, we finished our three-week long project: drawing the biggest poster in the world! Inspired by the movie ‘Ramona and Beezus’ (in which Ramona and her dad draw the longest picture in the world), our poster took up forty pieces of paper, and hundreds of crayons. It shows each place we’ve visited since leaving Canada, including all the plane rides, and is pretty spectacular if we do say so ourselves! =)
Canada
England (10 days)
Santorini, Greece (2 weeks)
Egypt (5 days)
South Africa (9 months)
Uganda (6 months)
Zimbabwe (since the end of January '11)
The full poster, complete with plane rides =)
And here’s a picture Moses drew for me… he found my Harry Potter book in my room, and decided to copy the front of it for my wall. I thought it was a pretty funny depiction =)
This is the story of mine and my family's journey across the world to live and work in rural Africa. In September 2009 we left Canada, and after a few months of traveling (England, Greece, Egypt, Uganda!), we arrived in South Africa, where we lived for nearly a year before moving back down to Uganda for a brief transition period. After several months spent in Uganda, we finally left for Zimbabwe, to pioneer our own ministry focusing on child headed househoulds and AIDs orphans. Since then I (Erin) and my sister have moved back to Canada to go to school, but the rest of the family is still in Zimbabwe, working hard... we're all excited to see what God has in store for the ministry next!
