Made it to Abbotsford BC the 19th. Staying in a basement 2 bdrm apartment (temporarily til we find other housing) that has been well taken care of and freshly painted by one of the College Professor's and his lovely wife. Their entire home is a small community ministry in itself.
Right across from the house we're living in there is a large (mosk looking) sekh temple for worshiping. It appears that a good part of the country of India lives here. So in a way, we're really in a different country, in a different country.
We met with a 91 year old gentlemen that we hope to be meeting with again. Turns out he's friends with the people I met on the plane back in February. They are both Gideon Bible folks. I met another lady at the grocery store who just happens to be friends with the people who own the house we're staying in. Both of the husbands are instructors at the College.
Dylan left for a six day Alpine hike. Wow. I miss him terribly and he's only been gone a few hours. I have not been a way from him for even one day since he came a week before mom died (four months ago). He left me some notes to read while he's gone. I'm sure he missed sleep writing them for me. He is so incredibly kind and thoughtful. He is such an awesome human being...I am so thankful to the Lord for giving me the gift that definetely describes "more than I could ask or think." I am so blessed.
So today I went exploring a little. Took a picture. Heard a song by Danny Michelle, "This is who's gonna miss you when you're gone." Little odd. Bought some postcards, local honey, three forks, and three spoons and some painting sponges. Knocked on the girls dorm room, looking for a girl name Jenny that I met back in February. Called the lady I met at the store and left a voice mail. Took a walk before sunset. Received word one of my dear friends had their baby Liliauna. Praise God for His tender mercies towards us all.
And now I lay me down to rest my all on the strong love that is taking care of all the ones I love in every place high and low. I will awake with joy, knowing, I will be found in Him - He that rules the world and comforts my soul.
