Fish, Snow, and Fun Times...

I have been having such a fun time lately that I haven't had a chance to post. I have quite a few pictures to add. We'll start with my trip to Seattle at the end of October. Here are some of the fun things I got to do during a meeting:


Seattle is famous for it's coffee and I really got into that.

I also enjoyed chillin' with some guys named Ben and Jerry. Here I am with the fire extinguisher, preparing to help anyone who needs it.I made some new friends and after they got over their shock of meeting me, we had some fun times dancing.

When I had some down time, I caught up on a little reading. Just to be sure I've been fairly represented.

I went to Adam's River to see the Salmon Run. It happened to be a dominate year which happens once every four years. I found some eggs and prayed for their survival. I also spent a moment with a fish that had left this life.

I helped out with a gingerbread house, only to have my life threatened with an icicle. I informed her that it was too late.

Here I am with a snowman that I helped make after the first snow of the year.

Synod, Hotsprings, and Whales

Hello! Before I start my blog tonight - I'd like to share a gift I was given - Jesus tape! For your every need! Check it out!!!!!

Ok - enough bragging!

I've gotten a little bit behind in my blogging. Please forgive me. hehe.

A few weeks ago I travelled to Cranbrook, BC for a Synod meeting. On the last day we had a procession from the church to the place we were worshipping. I was able to get things started.

After the Synod meeting we stopped by Ft. Steele - an old outpost in the Rockies. Here I am in front of the Wild Horse Saloon...

Then I had to save Liz from jail.

We were tired after all of our adventures in Cranbrook and Ft. Steele, so we stopped by Fairmont Hotsprings. It was beautiful - and relaxing! Here I am enjoying a little bath time in the Springs...

On our way home, we visited my friend, Mr. Huckleberry...

Two weeks ago we went to Nanaimo to meet with the youth of BC. We had to cross the ferry and on my way I met the Art Whale. He was very friendly.

I also joined the youth for a Scavenger Hunt around Nanaimo - here we are at the West Direction marker at the Port.

Things have been pretty busy around here. I've been
taking the last bit of time to rest and be quiet. I'll be headed to Seattle next
week. Maybe I'll see you there!

Brockey and kidnapping

I've had quite a few adventures since I got up to Canada. Here are some pictures...

This is Alex, one of the staff here at Sorrento Centre. She has become a great friend. She was around when we began playing a very popular game for our little group - BROCKEY! (or broom hockey)

Here I am playing the game:

The morning after the game my friend, Liz awoke to find a horrible site. On a chair outside her room was my broom and ball and a note saying that I had been kidnapped by Pontius Pilate in the night. She had to follow clues to find my and she did find me - up a tree in a net. I was too upset at the time to take pictures, but luckily everything turned out ok.

I've also spent some time doing miracles - turning water...

into Diet Coke!

The Journey Begins

We started off on September 17th to beautiful Sorrento, BC. I'm accompanying my friend, Liz as she goes on mission. It was a good trip with just a couple of snags. Before we could leave I helped Liz pack.

I was warned to be on the lookout of bears, but the amazing thing was that we met up with a bear before we even left home! I reasoned with him and we were able to get some great shots!!

After that close encounter, we began the trip. Our drivers were Jesse and Addison and although they stuck Liz in the back seat I had a prime view from the dashboard - maybe time for a little dashboard confessional?


We had a slight hang-up at Immigration. But, once again, with my help, we were able to cross-over into Canada. The officer that let us over wouldn't let us take a picture of her. We assume it has nothing to do with needing to hide her identity and the fact that it was her that let us in.
