“Crawfords in Quarantine”

June 17, 2021

Prayer Requests

1)  Safe travels to Canada - Praise the Lord we made it home safe and sound!  I don't ever recommend traveling during a pandemic.  It's not fun.  I don't think I've ever carried that much paperwork with me while traveling.  Everything went smoothly though.  Thanks for your prayers.

2) Quarantine - We are now in Geary, New Brunswick for our 14 day quarantine.  Please pray all goes smoothly.  We've had a number fo calls already from the government to check in on us.  We were very grateful we got to quarantine together with Kathleen's parents.  It just makes things easier.

3) Vaccinations - Praise the Lord I (Graham) was able to get an appointment to receive my first dose of the covid vaccine.  Hopefully this will make this easier for potential travel to churches/family/friends out West later this year.

4) Kathleen's pregnancy - Please continue to pray for Kathleen and her pregnancy.  She had some bad news during her last doctors appointment.  There is some fluid building up on her cervix which could cause premature delivery.  The good news is the doctor believes this is what happened when Kathleen was pregnant with Austin.  We never knew why he was 6 weeks premature, so this was an enlightening appointment!  Pray that the pregnancy continues to go smoothly and that no added pressure occurs as we are hoping for a full term delivery this time around.

5) Travel in 2021 - Many of you are probably already praying for this, but continue to pray that things would start to get back to "normal".  I (Graham) am hoping to make a trip out West sometime this year.  Much of this will be determined by how quickly things open up.  Pray that the covid situation continues to improve in the country.

6) Dakar Academy Staff - Pray that the Dakar Academy staff would have a restful summer.  It was a very taxing year on all of us with unique challenges.  Pray for refreshment for all.

7) Work - Pray for me as I will begin working remotely for Dakar Academy in July.  Pray that I would be able to do my duties well even though I am not physically present.  Pray for Matt Johnson, my co-worker in the IT department as he will be "flying solo" at Dakar Academy during the first semester of school.

The Montreal airport looked abandoned.


Reverse culture shock.  I hadn't seen one of these in 10 months.  They don't use them in Senegal.
