Homeward bound
Vancouver: What a great trip!
Happy to be home but sad to say goodbyes. This truly was an amazing group of students to get to know, to serve with and to have crazy good times together. Looking forward to reuniting soon!
Thanks to all who prayed and thought of us. We were truly blessed as your shared this journey with us.

Vancouver: Making good time
After one last stop in Airdrie, we've hit road for our last trek to Central Alberta. We're hoping to make it back by 7 (Lacombe) praying 7:30 (Ponoka). Kids will be calling when we reach Red Deer or Lacombe.
Ooh yeah, and Katie M. and Jamey are awesome. See you soon!
Vancouver: Ohhh we're (more than) halfway there!
We stopped for a late breakfast in Salmon Arm and are now about half an hour away from Golden. The ride comes in waves of sleep or explosions of energy. The roads are pretty good and it is just barely snowing.
We'll keep you updated!
Vancouver: On the road again...
5am the kids were up and maybe not so at em. We packed, ate breakfast, said our goodbyes and hit the road by 6am B.C. time.
Last night was a late one as we spent some time in Granville island, had dinner at The Old Spaghetti Factory, shared our pictures and memories of the week, and experienced the amazing goodness of our God. He has opened our eyes to His heart for His people, including ourselves.
It was a sad morning as we had to say goodbye to the Lifeteamers but they will forever be cherished in our hearts, even if we are a province away.
As the sunrise just peeks over the mountains as we are heading back, we are reminded of God's faithfulness. He is with us no matter what the road ahead holds. God is with us on our journey back and arrival at home to our loved ones. We are all looking forward to reuniting with family and friends!
