A Weekend In Winnipeg

well i am now back in vancouver after a great long weekend in winnipeg, manitoba, canada! when don and i arrived at midnight on thursday the temperature was -18...completely out of my grid! it was so cold the inside of my nose froze every time i stepped outside!!! it actually felt much warmer on sunday at -6!!! "warm" and "-6" shouldnt be allowed to be in the same sentence but it really is true...it actually feels "warmer"!!!
i was in shock everytime i looked out of the window because i kept forgetting there was snow on the ground!!

missions fest was great. it was a really busy and tiring weekend but i had a lot of fun talking to a lot of different people. people were so friendly...i was amazed at the difference in atmosphere between vancouver and winnipeg. people that were familar with ywam stopped by which is always fun as well parents that have had kids come through ywam vancouver and that have kids in the dts right now!!!
it became clear to me this weekend how much the dts program has impacted me and how much i believe in it because everytime i talked about it, it brought me to tears...the experiences that i have had, the people i have met and the friendships that i have made go so deep its hard to put into words what it is like.
it was really fun to see kim and jamie. i stayed in their newly renovated house which i actually helped work on during my time in wininipeg on my dts...it was exciting to see what the end result was!
it was a great suprize to see renee dueck...we got to hang out a lot this weekend as she was great and helped out man the vancouver booth! thanks renee!!!
i got to see my dear dear friend lindsey. it was so wonderful to catch up on all thats going on. renee, lindsey and i ate great thai food last night and then linds and i went out for breakfast this morning. thanks linds for a great time! i miss you!

so now we are all up to date i am of to bed. my body still thinks its winnipeg time...2 hours ahead!!!
until next time...
