To Canada and back

My basketball team for the week.

They became pretty good friends by the last day.
The lake looked like the ocean this evening. 
The views from the golf course I got to play on one afternoon.
A great view from way up on the mountain while biking the last day.
Canada was one of the best trips I have been on. The people I got to know who were a part of the team from the church were great. And the Canadian people were so nice and fun to get to know. I have met a lot of neat people in the past week and it was a neat experience. The oldest member of our mission team was Gerald who celebrated his 76th birthday in Canada doing mission work with us. The youngest member was eight year old Caroline. And many different ages and walks of life in between. We had 11 decisions for Christ at the basketball camp. And that was worth the 22 hour trip there and back. I learned a lot last week about God's love, and about myself, and I learned how to love others and be intentional. I am so glad that I was a part of what happened in Canada and that for some reason I was chosen to be a part of this mission trip. I'm sure there will be some more pictures and great stories to come.

KEELIE! I so want to hear about Canada! I love your pictures. And that is awesome to hear about those that came to Christ! I am coming home next Thursday and will be there for a good 10 days, so I better see you. And if you ever go back to Canada, take me with you.

I'm so glad you went and had such a great time! God is so funny sometimes in what He has in store for us! Our plans and His are sometimes just not the same, but He always makes it worth the time spent. Can't wait to see you soon! Have fun in NYC and stay out of trouble!
