Hey everyone, It’s February and the snow is falling from the sky. I’ve never been a big fan of winter, but this is really getting depressing. I wonder why everyone wanted to leave the comforts of Europe to settle in a land of endless winter? I guess for some it wasn’t much of a change when you consider that a lot of Europe indeed does experience WINTER as well. The hope of a new world, a

Dear Friends,After leaving Namibia in 2008 we had been thinking that we would return after a year. When we arrived back in Canada our children were all put back a year in school (much to our disappointment) and so it meant that it would be 2 years before Meagan would graduate rather than 1. In that 2 years it was decided that we would just remain in Canada until the boys finished school as well

This has been a busy year, but the ending was the best. Talitha got married to Dennis Murengi. After a small but beautiful wedding and reception Talitha became Talitha Murengi! We are so happy for her and pleased that she and Dennis have done all they could to prepare and ready themselves for marriage. They make us proud! I'll post some pictures when I get them :) Love Charlene

We are excited to announce the safe arrival of our good friend Ndemufayo Angula! She came all the way from Okahandja Namibia Africa to visit with us for 6 whole months! She had never travelled outside of Namibia so this was a whole new experience for her. She spent part of the day in London with our friend Dave and his friend Mary! What an experience... she got to see Parliament, the changing

God has a way of working things out in His perfect timing.  In the months since returning home we have gone for blood tests, stool samples, and a couple of weeks ago I went for my ultrasound.  I went to see the doctor last week on Thursday and I have several cysts in my uterus, ovaries and cervix.  I also have all of the symptoms of cervical cancer, so I have been referred to an GYN/OB.  On

Greetings!I thought I would write a bit of an update letting everyone know what we have been up to the last couple of months.Pete left for Ft. St. John to work with a trucking company that moves oil rig equipment. He is hoping to get his class one driving license. He hasn't been as busy as he would like but has made good use of his time by listening to some really awesome sermons.Meagan, Trevor

I guessed that my mom and dad were coming up from Sussex, but I had NO idea that a bunch of neighbours, and relatives were going to show up! What a surprise when at 4PM (when I was just about to head upstairs for a nap) a whole group of people came in the door! Yes I was surprised and shocked! The food was great! I found out later that Pete had made the call from Ft. St. John asking my mom

Pete dropped me off at a Spa in Newcastle on Friday afternoon around 2:30PM... I wasn't finished until just after 7PM. It was a long day of pampering... massage, facial, pedicure, manicure, hair and makeup! What a day! Sadly we didn't get a picture when I first got home, oh well! It was a nice surprise, and I enjoyed my day!

As Autumn approaches here in the East... I was reminded of SPRING in Angola! The colours of the leaves changing was a beautiful sight and reminded me of the Fall on the east coast of Canada... now I am being reminded of Angola.

I just got the kids out the door and to the end of the road where they will catch the bus in a few minutes.  The morning thing is not working so well yet, but I guess it will come.  Yesterday was their first day catching the bus and Trevor was convinced that there were 2 buses in the morning... so he ended up RUNNING to catch the bus at the neighbours house... of course the DOG chased him and ran

Hi everyone,We (Meagan, Trevor, Tavis and myself) made it back to NB early this morning at 5AM! We drove from North Bay Ontario all the way (as we were getting sick of being in a car and decided to just hold on until we arrived at our final destination rather than take another motel). SO here we are! I did manage to sleep until noon, but the boys stayed up and enjoyed playing all over the

Goodbye Kamloops!Well... there have been more twists and turns in our lives than we can handle (ok we can handle it because God gives us the strength... but...). We are planning a family day tomorrow (thanks to some friends)... thank you to those of you who have had us for meals, taken us out for meals, joined us at the park, popped in for a visit, etc. It was a blessing to be able to connect

HI everyone...I have been thinking we haven't really connected with as many people as we would LIKE to have!!! So as a way to help make that happen we are going to go to Riverside Park on Saturday from Noon until 6PM (if the weather is nice of course, and that means as long as it is not raining... and if it does rain and then stops we will also head down there). SATURDAY... RIVERSIDE PARK...

Hello everyone…We just wanted to let you know that we are now in Kamloops. We are staying at friends EMAIL FOR THE PHONE AND ADDRESS! So here’s the plan… we will hang at the house most of the time because we are a bit sick of the vehicle, so if you would like to connect with us we would be more than happy if you would come and see us. If you call first you can know for sure that we are here…

Hi there everyone. We have made it safe and sound to Ft. Steele (near Cranbrook) where Pete's parents are living. We had a safe and fairly uneventful trip across Canada (and a little of the USA)... of course traveling with 6 people in a van for hours on end is not the MOST enjoyable time, but we all survived!As I sit here and look over my calendar I have decided that we must make some sort of

Here we are on our LONG drive across to British Columbia. Saturday night we stayed with one of Talitha's friends (Brenda Geneau) in Northwestern NB... we hit the road at 7AM and drove through Quebec to North Bay Ontario... LONG drive! We spent the night with long time friends Bill and Lorna Powell. We had a good visit and a great breakfast this morning before we headed on our way. In Sault St

It is now almost 1AM on Canada day... I can't sleep, my stomach seems to be having some issues with Canadian food... hopefully this will pass soon. My time clock has also not adjusted yet, and I seem to not be able to fall asleep before 2AM, doesn't really make sense since that is 6AM in Namibia. Perhaps it is because I have flipped upside down (or upside right) from one side of the equator to

We have been house hunting. We have to live somewhere for a year, and since house prices and rent are so high in the west we began to consider living in the East or in Saskatchewan. We did some house searching online while in Africa and seriously considered Saskatchewan. However, before returning our search was led to NB. Not by my family (who lives out here)... in fact, my mother didn't seem

Here I am sitting at the computer (true high speed internet) and with the sun shining in the window and everyone is sitting in the living room behind me chatting about all kinds of things! It sounds nice… comforting.June 9, 2008 we were up early in the morning tying up loose ends! Finished moving our mattresses and blankets, signed our papers for the selling our vehicle, piled in the Bakkie (

Here we are back in Canada. I am VERY tired, and can't really think straight, so I won't bother to write a detailed blog, but when I get my thoughts together I will fill you in! Just wanted you all to know that we are safe and sound in New Brunswick at my mom and dad's.Charlene

Tomorrow morning we get up, get ready and get on a plane at 12:50PM heading to Jo'burg South Africa (3 hour wait) and then on to Frankfurt Germany (5 hour wait) then on to Toronto Ontario Canada (7 hour wait) and then to Moncton NB Canada (almost 2 hour drive to my parents....). That is a total of 38 hours in airplanes and terminals! YIKES. Please pray for sanity... patience... etc! Also pray

3 Days to go…Here we are and 3 more days to go before we fly from Namibia to New Brunswick, Canada! Up to now we have had so many things that just seemed to fall apart… so many unknowns… and so many discouragements. Today was the last possible day to get things worked out with our visas, and Pete went into Home Affairs and the lady graciously and very quickly granted an exit (or re-entry) Visa

Here we are at one more week. Saturday we found out that on Wednesday the church decided to sell the house and not rent it to Elfie. That was a BLOW! We are all floundering now... her with all the plans to move in (just formalities, shouldn't be a problem, blah blah blah)... and now no where to go but back to the center. Us with all of our stuff that was going to be stored in the garage.

Here we are with 9 more days to go. I have never felt more complacent about packing and getting ready to leave! Maybe I have become totally African... hehe! Although I wouldn't say I am relaxed... I feel tense everyday, but not enough to PACK! We still do not have our VISA issue settled, which is causing me a great deal of anxiety... but I know that GOD has it all under his control! So here

Here is Sateco... he is the one that some have helped toward getting registered in University. He is studying now at UNAM. Next month however, they are due to write exams, he will need to have all of the finances to complete his registration ($) or he will be unable to do his exams. As we are leaving there is no way (unless done in the next 'less than' two weeks) that we can get finances to

Well, I found out yesterday that we are going to have to apply for a work visa (our work permit has been into Home Affairs since October) in order to get out of the country. We are going to call Home Affairs and try to set up an appointment ourselves so that we can communicate our situation and the urgency (since it is only 20 days til departure now) of the matter... because obviously we would

To date we have $3591 in the account for our plane tickets, so we have $3609 more to go. At this point it seems a bit overwhelming with all the other expenses that we will face once we return, so please pray for peace of mind and trust in the GOD of the universe who has all things in his control! We have found someone to take our house, Internet and dog, so that is a burden that has been

I just realized that I have not updated on our trip north to Ovamboland.Meagan went to Walvis Bay on the Intercape to visit the Strauss family... the rest of us set out to the north to visit Lazarus and Leila. It is a long drive north... we stopped to eat at a rest stop, stopped at Ndemufayo's farm to deliver some goodies to her sisters and mother, and stopped at the Ark Oshikuku to say hello! We

Well, here we are with 31 days left to go... where are we at? Well, to date we have found someone to take the house, store our stuff, take our dog, take over our internet contract, and we have packed several boxes! There is still much to do, but I am feeling a little better with the progress that has been made! Just over half our our airline tickets are paid up, but we are trusting that God

Well, Sunday night, Janet arrived in a big Ford truck filled with surprises for the Knightly's. Things we haven't seen for 2 years. I took all day Monday and opened them all, sorted through them, cleaned things up (some of the stuff had been chewed through, used as rat's nests, and peed on) and repacked everything. There were lots of books (which would be very exciting except that we don't

You aren't going to believe this... but in about an hour around half of our stuff from Angola will arrive... and the other half is set to arrive sometime this week or next. Can you believe it? We'll keep you posted! Seems a bit ironic that we will get our stuff and then leave in 2 months... and not get to see it for another year... but whatever! Life is like that... I am thankful to God that

Well, we now have one ticket out of 5 paid for...! We appreciate all of your prayers and giving at this time. We have been so blessed and we pray that God will continue to bless you as well! We will keep you posted on the progress of our return... it is 2 months today that we will be arriving back in Canada... there is a LOT to be done before then, and we are tired! Pray for strength,

A friend just sent some money via an Interac Email Money Transfer. It was quick and easy, I was so surprised (guess I have lived in Africa too long... see lots has changed)! You can click the link below and figure out how it is done... and when our friend gets back to us exactly how she did it, then I will write more on this.

Well it is that time for us to return to Canada for a year of home assignment. Here are some of the postings that I placed on my Facebook Group called "Knightly's on Home Assignment". Just a quick progress report... we now have $366.28 toward our tickets to Canada... that leaves $9633.72 left to go. I know, it looks like a lot... but every little bit that gets deposited will put us one step

Hi,I spoke with Jenny this afternoon and she is so tired and worn out! Her life has been a fight for the last several months! Her brother is one of the biggest problems in her life right now... he moved into her shop and started selling her things and keeping the money.
