Hey y'all!
That's right...been hanging out with Americans again. Did you know that y'all is a singular usage and all y'all is the plural. I'm not sure about the grammatical ramifications here, but that's the way it is!
We are in Edmonton in a postage stamp sized lot in an RV park here. It is INSANELY small. I actually cried when I looked at it. Thank God for great neighbours who stepped up to the plate and backed the camper in for us. We were supposed to have a pull through spot but I was informed when we got here that they do not give pull through's to rigs as small as ours. That's right...32 feet is considered small here. OK. There were a host of other problems as well. I am pretty proud of myself for not actually going over the counter. It was close.
We are hanging out at Dover Court Baptist Church this week doing a VBS. Michael is in the Kindergarten class, and I am in crafts. We are so blessed to be able to work in the areas that we like the best and we did not even plan it that way...we just filled in where there was a need. I'm sure that God just knew where we needed to be and kept those classes short handed so we could help there. It is going really well.
There are actually four other couples that we have been able to visit with that we went to Seminary with: Tina and Guido; Ralph and Donna; Nathan and DinDin, and James and Betty. We have not actually seen Betty yet, but we are hoping to on Sunday. They own an African kiosk in WEM now! It is great to reconnect with some old friends and look forward to seeing others. We know for sure that we will be seeing Bob and Ali next week and my heart is leaping for joy over that. I have really missed Ali. She is one of those people that really "get" me....sad but true and I have woken up with tears on my face after dreaming of her and missing her several times over the last few years. We are also hoping to hook up with Jason and Leigh and Kelly and Jodi.
Speaking of people who "get" me... can't wait for this weekend when we get to be with Ruth and Kevin. Ruth is one of my BFF from high school and beyond! We can fight and make up faster than any other relationship I have I think and I love her love her love her! We have some special shopping to do, too!
All of this friend talk really reminds me of how much I love all of my girls! There are so many different friendships and different times in a girls life and I think that each one plays such a significant part. All the BFF's....sister, mom, high school, PA early years, PA later years, seminary, Slave Lake, hairstylist, church, and others, too! I can't wait till heaven when all of the BFF's in my life can get together and hang out for a millennium or two! We can do hair, laugh, drink coffee, laugh, cry, laugh.....I really love you and miss you all! I raise my mug to all my BFF's out there! You know who you are!
