Here is the interior of St. Edward's Anglican Church, Oliver, BC. It is a lovely space that has been newly renovated. The rector, Patrick Reid, kindly met us here tonight, got us organized and trusted us with the keys and building (we are responsible....well......). The van rides were our first introduction to the music brought by the group.
After a frisbee game in the dark, the group has settled into drinking tea, playing games and journaling.
Sarah Reith is our first youth blogger- she writes:
"It was an interesting ride to get to Oliver, filled with the sharing of food, trail mix and such, and listening to some different types of music, some to calm at the beginning and some to pump us up when some of us got a little drowsy. (The gravol is my excuse...I might have dozed off awhile..). Laughter was shared by all, with car games and trying to guess middle names (I'm not sure why, but well..) All in all, today was a great start to what is sure to be a wonderful, eye-opening experience. :) "
Sounds like a good start to your journey. I will say some prayers for your continued safety and sucuess in your admirable adventure.

My suspicion would be that arrival in Vegas last night was very late. And this morning there was a service in the church there.
ReplyDeleteHoping you are all not overtired and have time and energy to take in some of the sights before embarking on your next leg to Flagstaff!
Wow, you might even get to sleep in when you get to Espanola! Wouldn't that be novel!
Hope it's sunny and warm there...4C and grey here with a bit of snow last night...bet you are all jealous!
Keep safe and have fun!

Good morning to all! How very exciting and what a wonderful job you are doing - keep up the good work! Sarah, you know I am not very computer savvy so that is why it has taken me a while to comment! Golly, I must keep in touch with Don-o - maybe I can be a "Senior volunteer" when I retire?!but only if many grandchildren are with me! Take care and keep digging! Love and prayers from Grandma in Revelstoke.
