We are back - got home around midnight on Saturday. It was a GREAT trip, lots of seeds planted in the Kingdom. We will continue to pray for Royal Heights and the people we met there. Well, I hope to publish details with pictures at a later date but in lieu of that today, I give you 10 things that are different in Canada:
1. $1 and $2 are in coins instead of bills - called a loonie and twonie....
2. Sentences are often ended in eh?
3. There are more Dairy Queens there than we have in Fort Worth - isn't Dairy Queen the Texas Stop Sign? But, no Sonic!!
4. 90 degrees is a major heat wave.
5. If you want a plastic grocery sack to carry your groceries in, you will pay 4 cents each for
them.
6. Canada is exceptionally clean and EVERYONE recycles.
7. Pedestrians Rule! All cars stop for humans crossing the road.
8. There is no Mexican Food.
9. There is a reason why everything is green - and it's not the sprinker systems.
10. There are no bathrooms or restrooms - they are washrooms.
Needless to say, we had a great time on the trip. We are praying about going back next summer. We will see what God reveals. Many more details and pictures to come as I begin to sort them out. Thanks for praying while we were gone. Kelsie had fun at Camp Grammy and they took lots of pics too. We were glad to get home and hope to take her next year if we go.

That actually sounds a lot like Scotland, except there bathrooms are called "toilets" (I couldn't get used to that), and cars will run down pedestrians if you get in their way. Can't wait to see you and hear more about your trip!
LOL. I think I've heard some of those from everyone I've ever known who visited Canada. :-) I've only been there on one day trips a couple of times while staying in Seattle. Sounds like a great time. :-)
Really enjoyed being on music camp team with you. Thanks for being so fun and flexible!
