Home? It's where I take off my hat...

I arrived back in Three Hills last night after a weekend of connecting and speaking in churches. It's good to be home. I will be here now until I leave, and I'm so glad for this time.

I did some thinking today and I realised that over the span of this year (since May) I have done so much! This has been a year of uncertainty, of change, and of constant new beginnings. I have moved 5 times, and still have the biggest move of all coming up. I have taken about 15 flights, all between here and Abbotsford. I have been to college (for the first time ever!...and liked it...shhh, don't tell anyone). And I have met more people than I can count. Literally.

It has been a good year, but I am looking forward to no longer being in limbo and to settling down a bit more, for a solid year of language study.

I'm Back...

It seems as if I have fallen off the face of the earth. I apologize to those of you who read faithfully and come to find absolutely nothing new in my little space on the web. I shall attempt to fill you as best I can...

I am no longer in TREK. We finished on March 2nd, and I departed shortly after to Vancouver to spend some time with friends. Unfortunately for them, I was still coughing and attempting to get over whatever it was caught (I'm not sure if it was about the fish at all...see previous post with me kissing some aquatic creature), but we still had a wonderful time. Concerning my illness, I have officially been sick now for over a month. I think I am on the mend thanks to Cold FX (and mom).

I was home for a few days, and came back to Abbotsford yesterday to do one more final week of team building, which has proven to be useful and beneficial thus far. We are working on things like roles and responsibilities, conflict, and team convenant. And after this is over I shall be coming home for over a month!!!

BIG NEWS: Today is the day our team purchased our tickets. We are going for real!!! Our departure date is set for May 7th, and we will be flying out of Seattle, WA. Unbelieveable!!! So, the goodbyes will be real...

Thanks to all those who follow what I'm up to and where I'm at. I really appreciate your prayers and all the love you send over emails and comments. I hope to connect over the following weeks.
