news from canada

We are very pleased to report that three more Iranians have arrived here after terrible experiences of persecution. We give thanks to our Father and to the UNHCR for their efforts. Here is a letter from one of the sisters:

My dear brother Duncan,
Forgive me for not being able to write to you for a while.  First, we were busy with packing up to come to Canada and when we got here, we did not have a computer.  I am sending you this e-mail from my aunt’s house but we should be getting internet at home within the next couple of weeks.  My dear brother, I will never forget the kindness, love and caring that you, Liz and Cindy showed me and hope to be able to repay a little bit of it in the future.  In Canada, I have told everyone that you were my first teacher whom I’ve learnt much from about the Bible and that you taught me not only from the scriptures but from your own actions.  And everyone knows that Armita and I have always loved and will forever love you, Liz and Cindy.  I have told all of our brothers and sisters so much about the teachings of you and Liz that they are interested in meeting you, a man who has devoted his life to God.  From the bottom of my heart I am counting the days until I can see you, Liz and Cindy again.  Also, please let me know who you want to use your English manual for because in my opinion, it would be best for individuals who know both a little English and a bit about the Bible.

The bro & sis here are so kind to me especially those who are a bit older. God willing Bro. Mahmoud and me will move to a two bedroom place soon which is nice! As I don't have my passport and documents yet I can't do any thing ... not working .. nor study . What I do is to going to the ecclesia and Bible class and seminar... and in the meanwhile explore more about the city and study some English. I will go to a city with other brothers that is in north of Toronto and will be there for couple of days. There is a meeting there and the city is 600km farther than us . That must be exciting. Please hug and kiss B& M on my behalf when you see them still in Azerbaijan. We pray they too can get here soon.
