This morning in church we had a guest speaker - He was really great. He made this comment about how he just loves missionaries and how they adopt a people group and love them no matter how different they are- they adjust to the food they eat even if it wreaks havoc on their bodies and they love the people even if they look and act quite differently. This kinda made me laugh and think about my own situation. I am a missionary based out of Orlando FL. I love the food that is made for us even though I inevitably eat far too much of it and my body expands and complains as a result. I love the people even though they speak with weird accents and tease me about my own supposed accent. This is the life of a missionary i suppose...with a few other random things thrown in there of course. Love it.
Peace,

garage sale correction!
Shoot guys I totally lied about my garage sale date...by accident!
It's actually the second weekend of June - not the first. So thats Friday the 12 - Sunday the 14th.
COME CHECK IT OUT!!
I spent this last week with my wonderful boyfriend. He got here last Sunday and left last night. It was Nathaniel's first trip to Canada and while I've worked hard to convince him the stereotypes of perpetual winter are NOT true...the snow on Monday threw that all out the window! But anyway, we had a great week of shopping at West Edmonton Mall, walking on Whyte ave, playing dutch blitz, watching movies and lots of randomness in between!
Now life is back to normal - kinda disappointing.
Back to support raising and trying to figure out my visa situation.
But on the bright side, the weather is finally looking like spring/summer!! Bethany is training for a triathlon - how cool is that?! I have a random job interview tomorrow and I made the best sweet and spicy cashew chicken for dinner I've ever had! I was quite proud of myself.
Well it's 9:40pm and mom and I are making coffee. Good times.
Peace.

I have officially given up on having spring this year.
This morning I was sitting at my kitchen table and I looked out my window and saw teeny tiny snowflakes falling from the sky... IN MAY?!! This is getting a little ridiculous.
I am now enjoying my second cup of coffee for the morning while watching Nathaniel play monopoly junior with my sister...she's definitely kicking his butt...poor guy. He drove all the way here and now he's being beaten by an 11 year old at a game he probably hasn't played since he was in grade school.
I finally have a date set for my garage sale - the first weekend in June. I'm crossing my fingers that we will have some nice weather by that point.
Well I'm off to H&W for some fruits and vegetables!
Peace,
Sarah Jane
