At 2am this morning I got back home from Canada.<\/b>  It was a bit of a short night.<\/p>\n

The trip went well overall, but – no offence to anyone – I’m really ready to NOT travel for a LONG time.  But – no one knows what the future holds (except God, and He is wise and good)! \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n

That being said, it was good to reconnect with a few people.  I actually wasn’t able to see too many.  I invited as many people as I could to the events I was at, but I understand that people are busy.  But I was able to see at least a few people that we weren’t able to see last time we were in Calgary (in other words, we haven’t seen them for years!).<\/p>\n\n\n
\"Frost<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

I enjoyed a time of worship and fellowship on Sunday with friends at Cremona Country Fellowship<\/a>.<\/p>\n

You’ll see in the picture that I saw some weird things – like this cold white stuff on the windshield of the car!  But I only saw it a couple of times – it was actually pretty warm while I was there, getting up to 8 or 10 Celsius most days.<\/p>\n

I was pretty much the last person in the airport as I went through customs in Mexico City.<\/b>  They handed out the forms late in the flight, so I filled them out after we landed.  Unfortunately I filled out one box I wasn’t supposed to fill out, and so had to re-do a form (and the poor lady just wanted to go home!).  But I got the forms and stamps that I needed on my documents, in order to go on to the next step in the great visa adventure.<\/p>\n

Then they searched my luggage – but at least this time it all arrived at the same time! \ud83d\ude09 <\/p>\n

To be honest, I’m not feeling at all well – but hopefully I can get some sleep and recover over the next few days.  It is a busy week, though – so sometimes getting rest takes some discipline! \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n

Thanks for all your prayers, particularly regarding our visas, but also your prayers for my travels and also for our ministry in Mexico.  We appreciate it more than you know!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
