Yes, WE ARE ALIVE!!

Hi all!
Many apologies that this is so late in coming...Teruah and I have been in Canada for the last 4 weeks visiting a friend of mine, and tomorrow we re-enter the States.

It's been a quiet 4 weeks, but we are not complaining! We sort of took a break from everything and just rested and visited. I hadn't seen my friend, Darlene, since May 2005 just before I left for Africa. So just "hanging out" was nice. We were shown around Toronto one day ( I think maybe it was the coldest day we were here!) and took a side trip to Port Perry (a quaint little town with storefront shops all along the street) another day. We were able to meet her 2 grandsons (ages 8 and 4yrs) and played bingo, "I spy," and hide and go seek and had a blast! All around it was a very pleasant and relaxing time. Thank you, Darlene for hosting us!!

Tomorrow we will head back down to New York for a few days and from there will be going to see my mom and sister in Washington, Pennsylvania.

We'd appreciate your prayers for safe travel.

What's on our mind for the coming weeks?

(1) Visiting with my mom and sister in Pennsylvania for a couple weeks

(2) Traveling down to West Virginia to visit my dad and more family

(3) A trip to Washington, D.C.

Please continue to keep us in your prayers any time you think of us and we will keep you posted on our whereabouts! Also, we'd love to hear from any of you who want to write us - our joint email is: AnnaTeruah@gmail.com and both of us have individual email accounts that you are welcome to contact us at any time!

OK, well that's all for now, folks. I'm gonna try my best to get Teruah to write ya'll the next time! (-: It's about time we hear from her, huh?

Thanks to those of you who have been emailing, calling and keeping in touch with us! It's been nearly 3 months since we left California - and I for one, am missing it! But it's been good to be "home" too. Things will be much prettier here in a few weeks when Spring hits the East Coast.

All my love,

Anna
