Got up at 5:00 am which is not the usual—especially not on vacation (I’m more of a 6:30 kinda a girl). Spent like, two hours on a bus (where I unwittingly sat next to a drunk man who spilt his pop all over me… crazy things happen) and then some more time on the ‘Sky [...]
Spending lots of time meeting and talking to relatives. Meeting relatives is somewhat of a paradox. I mean, in some cases you don’t know them at all, you’ve never met them, but when you do there is an almost instant connection or bond or something? Who knows. We went over to the College where my [...]
Slept in a bit late but did get up early enough to spend some time reading the Word. We decided to cook a dinner for my Uncle and his Wife in appreciation for letting us use their camper. Spent some time at my brothers apartment figuring out the best way to make an Indian meal [...]
Spent the day in a nearby mountain… okay fine, more like a hill. It was big though, and took us four hours to climb to the top where we found a little old deserted helipad and a great view. Then another two-and-a-half hour trek back down. I’ve never done anything exactly like it and although [...]
The weather here is great, and the camping has been wonderful. Sleep in late, get up and have brunch and head off to the beach (well it’s a little bit of sand beside the lake) and laze around in the sun. The lake is pretty cold, but we went swimming in a little lagoon and [...]
Just finishing up a great day! We slept in this morning then took the Sky Train into downtown Vancouver. First stop was the Indian Consulate to take care of some legal stuff, didn’t accomplish much so we will have to come back again, but it was our first family outing (Mom, sister, brother and me!) [...]
I feel so blessed, I have been having way too much fun. Well, actually the jet lag wasn’t that great and neither was the lack of sleep. But I gained a whole day, and that felt good. Met a few nice people on the flight, and I exchanged cards with a girl from India that [...]
Reading a Mo Letter called “Whose Slave are You? God or Mammon’s?” this morning that made such complete sense and totally lifted me. I wasn’t even born when Grandpa (aka. MO, David Brandt Berg, founder of The Family International) wrote half of his writings, and occasionally I go back and reread it and am amazed [...]
Today has been heaps of work, but I enjoyed it because I’ll be traveling soon. Heh! I am off to Canada for the first time in my life (I am Canadian, after all). It’ll be such a long flight. Like, no sleep for… awhile, anyway. Probably not until tomorrow afternoon (I don’t sleep well on [...]
Aside from the usual day-to-day things I worked on this interesting project…Making an MP3 audio library. Some of the kids have little 128MB MP3 players, so I was working on compiling age appropriate music and other stuff like the audio Bible, stories, and Bible verses to memorize. Came up with 8 GB of stuff but [...]
