May 22 We were home for a complete day and I went to work the next. There are so many things to be done here I cant catch up. And my neighbours think I am crasy because we were home for two nights then went away to Williams lake for work. Shelly and Bianca came down for a visit. It was so awsome to see them againa nd to see Shelley healthy again. It was a good time. And now I'm back in the full swing of work. It'll take a bit to get motivated but I am doing my best. And I may be going away for work again next week. I know its crasy. You do what yo gotta do. I am so greatfull for everyone who helped me make this trip happen and ... read more

Wow, take it from experience. Do not book two different tickets for flights on one trip. If all of the flights are on one ticket one would simply find out the requirements for the airline you get on to at origin and pick them up at the end. But with two separate tickets there is the problem of complying with two different airline’s conditions with one set of luggage or pay extra. Well I’ve heard a couple of people tell me that since my plane leaves just two hours after arrival in Johannesburg, South Africa that Virgin Atlantic airlines will probably transfer the luggage otherwise we are paring down in South Africa and I hope that the two suitcases of donations get to a worthy cause there. Then there’s carryon… I had to leave a ... read more

Hi everyone, Last weekend's presentation at Clearwater New Life Assembly went well and we were able to visit with our church family there again. It is fantastic to spend time with them. Encouragement. God's hand is so evidently on them. Well this week I experienced my first float plane ride. It was really great and God provided a nice bright sunny day as we flew from downtown Vancouver to Naniamo and back on Tuesday. Then nice flat flights to Prince Rupert and return. All six flights in the four days were right on time and even when I arrived at the airport 10 minutes before boarding I still made it through security and boarded with no incidents. The last of that work is completed now so I can concentrate on wrapping up the other work and ... read more

We have begun to spread the news of our upcoming travel plans and mission work within. Today was a nervous presentation to our church Gateway City Church in Kamloops. Dakotah said her part confidently tough. She was amazing. March 13th we take off to Bulawayo, Zimbabwe through Heathrow and Johannesburg. We will arrive there 2 days later on March 15th, hopefully with smooth luggage transfer through Johannesburg. Of the many tasks I have to do before the day is learning how to load photos onto this site. I'm sure that you will all want to see what we see. Hope all is well as it is with us. ... read more

It seems to me that our journey has already begun as we prepare to head across the world. Planning for health planning for helping and figuring out the details. Learning what to expect and how to have no expectations. There are many things to do still but I am eager for that day to come. ... read more

We are heading down to vancouver wednesday so that we can catch the noon flight thursday morning. We will be staying at the covetted HI-Vancouver Central That night we are hoping to hit up MEC to see if we can get some last minute gear. At the least it will be an entertaining evening. The following day we will be cruizing down to the airport early, standing in line and waiting to taxi off to singapore (with a small stop long enough to refuel in south korea). Then there will be 4 days at another hostel. I will try to update then!... read more

Well, we are heading out on another journey. It is about -5 here and a bit above the usual temperature, but I am not complaining, as in a few weeks we will be in singapore, australia and then in newzealand. With that said, most of our time right now is spent getting plans togeather and working on locations of sites we want to visit. A new backpack and some smallish gear has been purchased for this outing, and I have yet to get another tent. The last one was a bit of a flop and leaked alot. But that should be sorted out in the next week or so. ... read more

Here are some shots from our drive back east. We stopped at the location of The Last Spike, something we had read about in history. We also drove throughout most of the day and early evening. The moon was out, the snow was on the road, and we were heading home! It was a great trip, but we were both looking forward to seeing everyone at home again. ... read more
