Hi from Doug , Anne and Piper. Glad things are going well over there and yes it does look hot and humid You picked a good time to go as there has been lots of snow piling up and more to come. Keep up the good work and learn,love and enjoy!!
Hi Janice
Bit rushed here this afternoon but wanted to get back regarding the cigars in good time. 118 euros for a box of 25 is fine. Romeo and Juliets tend to be fairly thick and a bit shorter than the Montecristo #2, so if they're about 5" long, great. If they're much smaller, say the size of the Montecristo #4, have a look and see what else they have. Bottom line, we're about ready to start smoking pine cones here, so whatever you get will be great. I'll write more later. Luv ya.

Hi Mary,
Glad to hear that things are going well there. I just watched the video that was added to the website. It is nice to actually see everyone! God Bless modern technology!
I am so proud of all of you there. We have to all work together for the greater good of God's world and it is wonderful to know that you were all willing to do that work from there while we sit here watching. Our work here is of prayer and best wishes and that is indeed what we wish for each of you - Best Wishes and Good Health! God is loving every second of what you are all doing - just like the poem, He is doing something about poverty - He put us here!
May God Bless You!

(Dad says Hi but has no idea how to add things to this...so Happy Valentine's Day! from him too!)
P.S. Hi Janice and Darcie
Hey everyone! Glad to hear things are going well. And Hope - glad to hear travelling went so well - will pray for the trip home too!
I keep thinking about all you folks and wondering "what are they doing now?" Then I logged on and there you all were in Ghana - it's really cool to see you actually there. Great inventors those Canadians are - thanks for showing us!
And Glad you're getting some R&R too - the markets - I wish! and despite the plastic bags I'm glad you all had fun at the beach.
Take care and know that you are being prayed for.
Love seeing the photos!
Hope you are still doing well Sarah.
Still in a deep freeze here in my part of Canada... storm coming tonight with freezing rain. Will visit the photos often to get a dose of sunshine and warmth!

Hi there! It is so good to hear that you are having a fabulous time. The pictures look amazing and yes I am jealous. It sounds like you are having the time of your life Mom. I am heading to Toronto tomorrow to see JC Superstar with Pat and Taylor will be home for reading week. We miss you, we love you. Deb, Pat, Taylor, Kristen, Eric, Seamus and Sadie
EEP! Patrick I miss yooou!!
Hi Mom,
Glad to hear you are working hard, but also got the chance to swim in the ocean. Too bad about all of the plastic bags, but we'll have to stop dumping our garbage in the ocean here in North America. It's hard to believe your trip is at the half way point. I hope you all accomplish what you set out to do and that Ghana is the better for you all having been there.
Ben and Megan are spending the long weekend here, so we will be out and about enjoying winter. Ben is playing hockey and I am going to take them out skiing/boarding Saturday night to the hill where you and Ian first took me skiing many many years ago. There is a winter storm watch for Sunday, so it will be an interesting weekend here that is for sure. I have ordered some hot weather for your return, although something tells me I don't think you're going to get it. ;)
Take care and I think about you every day. Ciao xo Kate

Hi mom,
It's Joel, Jordan, Chloe and Daisy. We've been thinking of you lots and praying that you are having fun. We can't seem to look at the pictures or the videos, but judging by everyone's comments and notes, it sounds like you're having an amazing trip.
We miss you and can't wait for you to get back and give us EVERY detail.
Love,
Joel, Jordan, Chloe and Daisy
Hi Mary,
We were at Dad's last night and Abbie forgot that you were away. She said that she wished that she could tell you how much she misses you.....I am sending this email for her. Abbie says "Hi Mary. I miss you. I hope you are safe"
I went over today to help Dad pack too. He is getting excited. I think he is going to Aunt Carolyn's tomorrow if the weather holds up.
It is so nice being able to get updates on your progress. Hope you are all enjoying every minute of it! It is the chance of a lifetime.

Great video! Looks like a good day's work to me. The worksite looks great. It's awesome to see the progess since 2000 ... slowly but surely. My prayers are with you as you work, convalesce and minister. My greetings to our Ghanaian friends.
Hey Folks
how was church today? 8 am enjoyed the video of the Great Canadian Invention. will show it at 11am as well.
love ya
Jenn, Ted and Elizabeth
Hey Guys!
Took a while for me to figure this stuff out - so if you get this
twice, disregard! LOL
We just got home from church, and saw the video clip from your BLOG.
Kelly – Ted told me to tell you to bring home your head-pan, as we have
lots of wood for you to carry in from the back here…LOL Ted also said
that the work you’re doing there is probably a vacation compared to
running after Zoey! LOL
We miss you guys terribly, and we’re hoping that you’re enjoying the
experience. I got misty-eyed watching the clip in church today – I
guess I didn’t realize how much I was missing you Kelly!
I hope you guys are enjoying the warm weather – we’ve had at least 2
feet of snow lately, and the drive up to Peterborough has been pretty
nasty. Lots of white-knuckled driving!
Elizabeth is at my mom’s cottage this weekend, so Ted and I are
enjoying the weekend to ourselves, although we’re also anxious to have
her back home!
Well – keep safe, take care of each other, and we’ll see you when you
get home.
Know that you’re all in our prayers!
Love,
Jenn, Ted and Elizabeth
Hi Mary It is great to read all about your activities in Ghana. What an experience. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you in the second half of your trip. We prayer for a safe return for all of you. Wonderful work. God's Peace Karen ramer
Hi Mary,
Dick and I are sitting here getting ready to leave for our trip tomorrow moring. Doug is making us get up at 3.30 a.m. so we are about to rebel!!
Dick was sick yesterday, but all is well today and we are ready to rock.
It's great to read how well you are doing and the mission as a whole. What a worthwhile trip!!
You are certainly a group of marvelous people.
We'll be thinking of you while we're away.
Love, Carolyn
