This last week, we received an email from Cheryl, a Canadian woman living in NZ with her family. She and her husband are pastoring an International church in Auckland. Our names and email addresses were passed on to her via Brandon's future employer's wife. Although perfect strangers, she and I have shared information. She has been very open and friendly, and she has even volunteered to meet us at the airport!
I have a feeling that it will be important for us to know people who are familiar with our homeland and it's exciting to know that these people are out there and are hospitable and welcoming. Besides, Cheryl and her family have gone through the settling process over the last two years and can share our frustration/anxiety over the immigration process.
We look forward to meeting Cheryl and her family, as well as Brandon's future employer, Clyde, as these people have gone above and beyond for us - and we haven't even met!

...and we're looking forward to meeting you, too!
It is nice to have fellow Canadians around, even just to be able to talk to people without struggling to interpret their accents (and there are many different accents here from all over the world!) and to be able to talk about places like Boston Pizza and Dairy Queen and have others share your 'pain' in missing them! lol
