One Busy and Cold Week

Sunday night was a very exciting time. After church, which was held in a very nice hotel conference room, the fire alarm went off and everyone was asked to go to the lobby. The firemen came and discovered that it was just a false alarm. Talk about an exciting end to the week.
We left Vancouver on Monday to go to Williams Lake for a few days. When we left it was around -2 C, but when we arrived in Williams Lake it was a bone chilling -36 C. Talk about a difference in temperatures. I wasn't sure that I would ever warm up. While we were there, we got to visit with Rick's sister and dad. We also looked around for a place to hold church services, and may have found a place. We are praying that everything works out.
We are now back in Kelowna for a couple of days. Tami gets her bottom braces on tomorrow. She is not looking forward to this, but one day she will be glad that she went through with it all.
Well gotta go for now. Come back again to see what happens to us next in our travels.

Away We Go

Our family has started our deputation trail. We are currently in the lower mainland and are leaving for Williams Lake on Monday.
Life down here is extremely fast paced and there are people everywhere you turn. It is really different from what I am used to. Just give a a nice quiet corner and I feel at home.I have met many nice people while we have been here, and hope to keep in contact with them.
Tonight our daughter joins us again. She got to spend some time in Kelowna with her friends. The poor girl had to fly out there for an orthdontist appointment (one of many) to get her braces adjusted. I can't wait to see her again.
