Bedazzled

I'm officially back from the whirlwind that was Alberta! I arrived yesterday morning only to find that the world of Abbotsford had been covered in a thick carpet of snow, and undernieth that snow exists a very solid carpet of ice ready to destroy anyone who ventures out on it! Seriously, I still cannot open my car doors let alone find it! SO MUCH SNOW!!!

So, Alberta ended up being a very fun, encouraging, stretching, and tiring experience. Upon arrival in Calgary on Thursday night the weekend of driving began. I went to Three Hills, arriving at midnight, and then went for an early breakfast with my family. Directly after breakfast my dad and I drove into Calgary where I had my first 3 hour meeting of many. That evening I spoke in a caregroup in Airdrie, which was loads of fun, and then went home (the place I had been billetted out to). The next morning, bright and early, we loaded up into the car and drove to Lethbridge. We had a fantastic time with the people down there and then drove back to Calgary afterwards. I happened to get back to Calgary just in time for some square dancing, so I passed the night away doe-see-doeing. The next morning (Sunday) we drove up to Edmonton where we met in a Thai restaurant for our final meeting. Again, it was awesome connecting with pastors and church members, especially around Thai food. You can't go wrong! Rather than getting back into the car, I caught a greyhound bus back to Calgary and spent the night at a friends, nearly missing my early morning flight. God had my back though, and the flight was delayed. And that brings me to now....

So, thanks to all of you who were praying. God is good and did give me strength. I was so tired yesterday, but thankfully school was cancelled so I was able to get a good day of sleep in. I think I might be caught up.
