Happy New Years! I hope everyone had a good christmas. Mine was quite busy. I spent a night in Calgary, a week in Minnesota, a night in Sask, three days at home, six days on the road and four days in the air. Needless to say, the thought of ever traveling again kinda nausiates me. BUT it was SO good to see everyone again, definately worth it. So thank you to my parents and everyone else who helped get me home for Christmas.

It feels good to be back in Jeffreys, I didn't realize how much I missed my team, even though I'm not quite used to the fact that the team here in Jbay has shrunk from 36 to 13. In the Joburg airport I got to see some of my team mates that are going to Swazi which was kinda bittersweet because I was SO excited to see them again but I had to run to catch my next flight. Over the break I started to realize how much I'm going to miss my ministry team, I'm the only one left in Jbay. Lisa is in PE (which isn't too far so I'm happy), but Blair and Mary are in the Kingdom of Swasziland:( I loved doing ministry with them, we were all so different but we worked well together. I'm a little sad because I loved ministry last semester and I know that this semester is going to look a lot different. You can pray that I'll be able to keep up with the relationships that I have already started and that I'll be happy whereever I end up working. Normal ministry doesn't start untill monday so I have the rest of the week to get rid of this jet leg and catch up with friends. You'll be updated little bit more about what ministry is going to look like this semester as soon as I figure it out myself. Hope your all having fun back at school/work.  :) Alexis.
