Thanks, Kris!

The Last Supper

Had a great time in fellowship with Sue,  Mario, Nancy & Bill. Janna and Nancy shucked and ate oysters, in “True North” style!

last build day

Our last build day. Baby barn. Pizza. Cutting 2 x 4’s. Working in the basement. Moving drywall. Got a chance to meet the children and see the anticipation in their eyes.

We had to say goodbye to Becky, Don, and Randy. I had mixed feelings of sadness, joy, triumph and accomplisment. I’m thankful to God for bringing me here and helping me complete the assignment.

We’ll leave tomorrow.  Head our separate ways and go back to the “grind”. But, I think we’ll leave with our lives changed, knowing a family has been blessed, an affiliate has been helped, and a community served.

Breaking bread together

Broke bread together at a wonderful restaurant and crowned our queen! ! LOL

Our team to rocks!!

The baby barn is coming together!

Great day of building today. Moved drywall into the house and got a door onto the “baby barn” (shed). Most (if not all) were tired and achy by the end of the day. Traps, biceps, triceps, glutes…yep, all those got worked today!

BUT, we got a lot done and were so happy to see Becky (partner family) smiling at the progress that had been made. We also met Becky’s husband Glen today.

GOD is good……all the time.

Cultural Day

sWe learned a lot about Canada and Prince Edward Island today.  Fabulous visit to the Province House. Our tour guide was 100% awesome.

And the Butterfly House was great as well.

More roofing. …and shingle moving joy

1. The pics speak for themselves! We got a lot accomplished today.

God is great!

Saw a bit of the tide this morning and couldn’t help thinking about God’s greatness and glory. Thank you God for the opportunity to see one of your wonders again!

I’m ready for Day 2 of the build. Starting the day with thanks

Fuel?

One more thing: gas is sold in liters here. So, no need to get excited when you see a gas station sign with $1.32 on it!
