Our First Visitors

On Thursday last week we had our first visitors come and stay.
Lynne, Lyndon, Devon and Alyssa came to stay till Sunday. Lynne and I were friends growing up while I lived here in Canada - many moons ago. It was great to see them.
I hope they aren't put off coming to visit us again by the deflating airbed and lack of decent blankets (had to use sleeping bags that kept sliding off the bed - at least that is what Lyndon says, Lynne thinks he just stole them)! We couldn't find our blankets in the boxes - very frustrating!
On Saturday after church, Kyle went to Kamloops. One of the cooks here at F/V, her husband has cancer and wasn't doing very well. Things aren't looking very bright for him, so they thought they would take a group of the students over to sing for him. It was great that these kids could use the talents that the Lord has given them to brighten someones day - someone they all know. They left at 1.30pm and didn't return home till 9.30pm (it is a 5 hour drive round trip).
Sounds like Kyle had a great time - they had patients from other rooms in the hospital coming to listen to them sing - which was nice.
After singing they went out for supper (tea), which was a highlight as most of them don't get anything but cafe food here. On the way home seems they practiced a few 'chinese fire drills' at the stop lights - which Kyle thought was great fun!

We had a pretty relaxed sabbath afternoon, which was nice. Went down to the river, which I hadn't done before. We hoped to take a nice family picture down there but that didn't work out when Kyle had to go to Kamloops - so we took one without him!
We will have to do another one with him sometime.






On Sunday Lynne and family headed home round 11.

We finally finished putting up our 'garage in a box'. Boy, one almost needs to be a 'master builder' to put one of these things up!
But we finally got there - without too many domestic's even.
So now the van is tucked up in there so it won't get frosty.
Missey thinks its great fun zipping in and out under the edges.



Sunday night was the beginning of week of prayer. They have gotten in the speaker Justin Kim. Not sure if you have heard of GYC - Generation of Youth for Christ - well this guys was the founder of GYC. He is a great speaker for the students.
I am hoping that they are recording his talks and that I can get a copy and send them to some of you to listen to. Last nights talk was on relationships - which had the students attention!

Well I better go get tea sorted. Kids will only have half an hour to eat between orchestra/choir practice and the meeting - so I better run..........
