Yes, we have snow
On Saturday I spent some time outside taking some pictures of Snow Camp activities.
This is the entrance to our office, located above the guys dorm. (this picture was from a week ago, there is more snow there now..)
Ice flume.. straight down the hill very fast.
Two of our Korean students showing they have adapted to our Canadian winter. The poor guy in the front got his face covered in snow!
The end of their ride.
High ropes were busy with the zip line and this obstacle course (30 ft in the air!).
Three happy campers at the high ropes course.
“Yoshi” from Japan really has taken to winter here. I wouldn’t even do this..
Down at the creek.
Yoshi even snow boards on our tube hill.
Wipeout during the Cardboard Sled Race!
Something I have never seen before… this is “Wink”, one of the leaders of a youth group that was there that weekend. He was dared to go down the hill, but for whatever reason, he took his jacket and shirt off first. Once his cardboard sled stopped, he started running. It is a very long run back through deep snow to the dorms to get more clothes..
Two-tooth
Ellie Two Tooth now has three, but Ellie Three Tooth doesn’t sound as good. Here she is getting dressed to go outside.
Losing your first love
“Almost everyone knows someone who used to be in the ministry.”
A pastor friend of mine sent me a link to a good article entitled Losing Your First Love. Give it a read.

“The baby had been at the orphanage since neighbours took her to a hospital after her enraged father, claiming the child wasn’t his, cut her with a machete and then threw her outside to die.”
This is an excerpt from an article in the Montreal Gazette about some of our co-workers from the Quebec division (Parole de Vie) of Word of Life. It is the story of their adopted Vietnamese daughter who was attacked at birth and mutilated by her father with a machete and how this baby girl eventually ended up here in Canada. You can read about it online here.
