WOW have we been busy. I cannot remember the last post and I am swamped right now so I am going to blog as much as possible.
Thursday: We arrived and the kids began to play in the snow as soon as we got to our host's home.
Friday: It began to snow in the morning and was awesome for the kids they played in a big field behind the house and built a snow fort. I went to a funeral for a friend then off to a men's overnight.
Saturday: The kids went tobogganing and had a blast I was out at the men's thing. We had a great time and we ate Shrwarma (which is like Lebanese Gyro) when I got home. It is awesome. Had a great time of fellowship.
Sunday: Went to Church and taught from Philippians. "you don't go into ministry, ministry comes into you" Then we toured downtown with the kids and ate beaver tail. Actually it is a fried dough like an elephant ear. Our host is a Secretary for a Parliament member so we parked on the hill (think capital hill in the states). had a great time. I went and shared at a bible study for addicts on Sunday night it went very well most of the guys are new to recovery so seeing a guy with 10 years under his belt was an encouragement.
Monday: We went to Quebec which is where they prefer to speak french and many only speak french so it is then like really being in a foreign country. We then went tubing down a snow hill and had a blast. it was an all day event they had a tow line that dragged you up the hill and then you flew down Just awesome. Then on the way back we decided to take a shortcut by using a ferry. Yes across an ice covered river they blow air under water and the boats are designed to break ice. It was really cool.
Overnight it began to snow real snow like big huge flakes and this was to begin a 7 inch snowfall it was beautiful no one else was up
Tuesday: I taught at Jericho road's men's bible study and it was really awesome then the kids and Nicole met up with me and we went to the Rideau canal and went skating in the snow. This is the largest rink in the world and is 13km long. We discovered that while it was fun we are not skaters so we cut it short. The kids went about a half a mile out and then back. The snow was awesome. We then took a bus back to the suburbs where we are staying and the kids thought it was awesome. We walk from the bus stop to the house and threw snowballs all the way home. The kids have been outside now for 3 hours building snowmen and forts We are studying and resting. Nicole has a ladies group to go to tonight and Tomorrow we will be really cold. Our last event will be Wed night at the coffee house which is an American soup kitchen. We will be sharing about the hope all men have through Christ. Pray for these folks.
More later

Hi it's Danine... Praying all is going well this beautiful Monday morning. We at home are missing you, but know God has called each of you there to minister in a very special way to those in need. May you each be not so focused on the task or itinerary before you, but alert to the hand of God leading and directing you. You are each loved and appreciated by those of us at home. And we are excited for the work God is doing both in and through each of you as you are able to participate in the growing of the kingdom. You will remain in our thoughts and prayers!
By His grace, Danine
