Oh Canada!

I guess I need to blog some things. Lets begin on June 20

Basically that Monday and Tuesday (June 20-21) I helped Brian Cassino move into his new house. Thank God that’s over.

That Wednesday Jeff and I meet with Ed to keep walking through Romans. Ed is getting married on July 16 and he invited me. I’m pretty excited! I didn’t really think I would go to a wedding while I was here. That night at my house we had some guest over for dinner. One of the guests was a good guitar player and so we all went into the front yard to sing songs. It was fun..….. but because I’m from the south everyone assumed that I knew every Johnny Cash song, so we sang Johnny Cash and we talked about southern things.

The 23-25 I just rocked out! Explored the city, purchased things, sold things……

That Sunday Mr. Mike Vickers and I went to a church service out in Langley. To make a long and very interesting story short, we went on a “Special Service” day. The whole service was lead by First Nations (Indians) so…. Yeah.

That night we had the Crossings Gathering and it was great and we had about 5 first time guest.. Awesome stuff.

Now to this past week.

Last Tuesday Jeff and I watched Top Gun. Sad to admit, but it was my first time to ever see it. I liked it. To bad Tom Cruise wasn’t Goose. He’s crazy now. That night Jeff, Ty, Emma, and I rode bikes around the Sea Wall.

Wednesday.

Jeff and the Crossings leadership team have decided to move the weekly meeting to 6:30 am Wednesday mornings. Early mornings and me are not friends. Jeff and I meet with Ed that afternoon and continued in Romans. That night my host family had a big community BBQ. A BBQ here means hamburgers…….. poor people…. They just don’t know what they are missing!! Ask me in person about that event… It was interesting.

Thursday a team from Pearl arrived. Jeff and I met with Ray, and then we went to pick up Jeff’s dad. Jeff and I met with the Pearl team and told them about the city and hung out with them for a while.


Friday was Canada Day. We had a big Crossings Canada Day Picnic in Stanley Park, which I say was a huge success. Tons of people came and it was a blast! Then we went downtown for the Canada Day Parade. It was… weak. That night in Coal Harbor there was a big firework show. Like the parade, the fireworks were weak. (America has got the fireworks). Also, I’m pretty sure I got high. I’m pretty sure 97% of everyone there was smoking Marijuana. So to them the fireworks were probably incredible!

Saturday I saw Transformers 3…….. I LOVE AMERICA!

Sunday morning I cleaned my room and did laundry. Fun times. That night we had the Crossings Gathering and it was great!

Last night we had a big Crossings FOCUS meeting at a super nice restaurant to welcome the entire team finally and to get everyone on the same page. It was really cool. Also, I got some green pasta stuff, and it was pretty good.


Not a very detailed blog. Oh well

Go read a book.
