The journey (part 1)
Almost two months ago I was accepted to come on board with MBMSI (Mennonite Brethren Missions and Services International). I am part of a team that will be going to the North of Thailand to work with the Kamu people for the next three years. We don't know exactly what we will be doing there, but I am excited to see what God is going to do. If you are interested in a prayer card and letter, just let me know. There will be more information in there for you.
Since I was accepted I thought it would be good to see some friends and relatives across Canada before I left. So Jon and myself planned to take this adventure and see where it would lead.
The first people on our list was Myron and Cyndi Sawatzky in Alberta. They were just finishing there time at Camp Evergreen in Alberta. So we had the opportunity to help them move back to Winnipeg. These cats in the picture where trying to sneak along for the ride, but thanks to Myron's good ears, we found them before we left.For the trip to Winnipeg, Myron drove the big rig, Jon and myself switched between Myron's mini-van and Jon's car.
On the way to Manitoba, Jon and myself had the chance to stop in Roulou Saskatchewan to see where they film the Canadian tv show, Corner Gas.We saw Brent from a distance, and Ema drove right by us in a truck. I also had the chance to see Oscar during some filming in their front yard.
Here is a picture of Brent heading off to the next site for filming. In this scene they will be revealing the new city limits sign.
After we spent a while trying to meet someone from the set, we decided to continue on to Manitoba.
When we arrived in Winnipeg, Myron and Cyndi had not yet been able to find a house , so we ended up emptying the contents of the truck into two storage rooms where they would stay till Myron and Cyndi found a place for all their stuff. So we had a blast and got it all done.
The next leg of our journey brought us to Red Rock Bible Camp, still in Manitoba and close to the Ontario boarder where Steve Garrard is presently working as assistant program director. Jon and myself had not seen Steve for over a year, so it was great to see Steve again.
We got to do some biking along some of the trails and got to see some of the beauty that Steve gets to see every day.To Be Continued...
