We made it to Canada!






The MTC was a great experience. We met many good people there. Most of them were going to employment centers located all over the world.


After a tearful goodbye, we headed to Canada. The trip was uneventful until we reached the border. There were long lines of cars and a long line at customs which was inside. Of course, we got to go to both. We received many interesting questions. The custom officer wanted to know why someone from Canada couldn't do the same thing that we were going to do. Dad told them "they probably could" but we had been called to come. It was hard for him to understand why we were coming to Canada to do humaniarian service without pay and using our own money to do it!


It is beautiful here. There are so many trees, bushes and flowers. Some of the parks are all forest but have various hidden treasures inside. One of those parks is right across the street from where we live. We have been there walking and found a lake! Can you find Dad?


We went to the templev site. It is about 10 miles away. I thought that you might like to see the progress that has been made. I'll keep posting pictures to let you see how things are going. Another missionary couple live right on the temple grounds and is overseeing the building. They even let us come in for a "peek". It's great to be a missionary!
