O Canada!

Well folks, it has already been quite the adventure. Our 16 hour travel day went well and we crossed the border pretty painlessly. They had us go to immigration, but that didn't turn out to be a big deal. We finally made it to Port Colborne around 12:30 am. 


Yesterday we got up and finished unpacking in our respective homes. Paul is living in a single apartment above a fashion shop and I'm sharing a home with Joanna, another missionary here in a retirement community  Port Colborne definitely has the small town feel to it, but it's bigger than Troy and definitely bigger than Upland. It's right off of a canal and the website promises us that there is a beach close by! We also got a tour of the office and guess what, we each have our own office! 


Next week is OM Canada's "Planning days" where we won't be doing much tech work, but will be doing what we can to help assist the team to make planning days go smoothly. Our email said: " I would like to ask you two if you would be willing to help out with some of the running around that will need to be done next week during our meetings.  Joanna will certainly need your help with set-up and moving supplies.  You may also be called upon to pick up lunches or that sort of thing." 


We're real interns! :)


Yesterday my throat started feeling kind of sore but I decided to give it another day before trying to seek medical assistance (Honestly, I was just trying to avoid it). I woke up in the middle of the night and decided to take a look at the back of my throat and unfortunately it looks like I have strep. We're currently in the process of figuring out insurance and how to get medical assistance. So if you could be praying for us that this goes smoothly, that Paul doesn't come down with it, and for Planning Days ahead that would be wonderful!

(I'll put up a post up sometime later detailing more about why we're in Canada, what we're doing, trying to accomplish etc.)
