On the Road Again

Well, we're off again. I feel pretty good, though. For much of our time overseas, I felt like I was running on 3/4 of a tank because of culture stress or something. I feel very good now, fully rested and ready to go. I guess that's a good way to start your tour. In comparison with our overseas schedule, this has been a picnic so far. Just wait until camp ministry.

We have just arrived in Calgary. We will be here for a week. We will spend a day at the Mustard Seed and work with the Foothills Alliance youth group fair share as well. We spent our weekend in Cremona, which is actually about 10 minutes (if that) from our training centre, but we still billeted out for the two nights we were there. It was cool. Pastor Mitch is a funny guy, very blunt. It's nice, though, because that means I don't have to worry that I'm being offensive and he's just not saying anything. It puts my mind to rest.

Missions Conference

We are currently having a missions conference here at VTI training centre recently renamed Discovery Lodge. So there's a bunch a Bible College and Mission reps here right now. It's actually really fun to hang out with them. Missionaries are supposed to be boring, right? HA!!!! I have news: if you think missionaries are boring, know that they have a much more exiting life than you do. It's true. These reps have already poured tons of advice and encouragement into my life. This is so much fun!

Yesterday evening, we did a presentation for them about our overseas time. We got a lot of positive comments about it afterwards. They got a lot of out of it. I'm glad we could encourage them after how they've all encouraged us this week. I've also gotten some food for thought on what kind of missions work I'd like to be involved in. It's lots of fun. I like brainstorming for the future. I just need to be careful that I'm still listening to God. It's too easy to stop listening while you're planning.
