an opportunity

for me to work in calgary, alberta CANADA as a nanny...

strangely this is connected to the shelter! you shelter city folk that were around in the summer might remember a 5 yr old named Lexi and her mother Jackie from Canada. (Lexi and Jackie went on a world travel for around a year, i think...one of their stops was Amsterdam and they stayed at shelter city) well, the mother expressed an interest for someone to watch her daughter from feb 27 until the end of the summer.... i responded to her e-mail.

now this coming weekend i will know whether she wants me to come or not.

i'd appreciate your prayers in this! i'd really like for this opportunity to become a reality!

i would have my own bedroom and bathroom (living with Lexi and her mother); Jackie speaks dutch fluently (so i could continue to work on my dutch!!!) and would like her daughter to learn as well (i could teach what i know and learn!).... this would be a ministry opportunity as well, since the mother is not a Christian. one of my dreams while working in the shelter jordan was to someday live with a family, taking care of the children, and having the opportunity to share Jesus just through my lifestyle and character. families are so unique...and i really like them. i'd love for this realized dream to become a reality so soon...!

so...help me out and join me in prayer :) matthew 18:20

thanks heaps!
