Hey Everyone. I am in Winnipeg right now, cooking food for people who don't have enough. It's pretty cool. I like it.
Right now we are just having some time for reading and relaxing. Tonight Matt and Kristie (our hosts) are going out for Matt's Birthday. We are taking care of the kids (doing crafts with them and then watching a movie).
When I get home I'll put up photos and explain more about each ministry. We fly home on Friday at 3pm EST with WestJet.
Thanks for your prayers!

Adventures with Sweet Tea
So here is the official sweet tea recipe straight from my brother (from another mother) in Virginia.
Take a coffee maker but put two tea bags in (instead of coffee grinds). Run the machine. Pour the water into a pitcher that has a LOT of sugar in it (no specific measurement.. just a lot.. maybe almost a whack but not quite a boat-load). Stir it up.... do not add ice. Put it in the fridge to cool off.
Sidenote: If you have a glass container you may want to wait for it to cool to room temperature before you put it in the fridge. Extreme changes in temperature can crack or ahem.. explode glass everywhere.
You should try it. Results may vary. But if it sucks, its your fault. Don't blame me. You probably put in the wrong amount of sugar or used crappy tea. Not my fault. Don't sue.

Adventures in Sketchy Internet
Soon, I will make a post of greater depth but at the moment I just wanted to share that sometimes low tech solutions can fix high tech problems. I suppose some of you may find this profound.
We receive our internet connection through a wireless antenna from another source. The antenna requires line of sight to function properly, and recently, hasn't been working to well at all. Today my dad discovered that since we installed it a tree has grown up. A tree was blocking our internet connection. So we moved the antenna (no sense maiming a perfectly good tree), and the net works much better.
If in doubt, check for trees.
