1401
When I went to post, blogger told me that there were 1400 posts on the blog, so I guess this is number 1401! That's quite a lot of family news.
I've been going full speed since I got back from holidays. The holidays themselves were great - between folk fest, the backyard, Kane, the chuckwagon races, and just being at home, things were pretty awesome. I got back to Victoria on Saturday, preached and presided at church on Sunday, left Monday to go camping with the youth group.
We went to a group site run by the Girl Guides near Elk Lake, and this year we joined with the Cathedral. It was a good thing we did, as they had about 12 kids, and we had 3. The kids were mostly around the same age, or at least two or three the same age, so that was good. We spent a lot of time teaching them how to cook on fires. For most of them, the first thing to do was teach them how to light a fire. For some of them, we also had to teach them how to cook in general. We did one supper and one breakfast over the fire - the bacon and egg breakfast took about 4 hours from start to finish, so I joined up with the fastest working group. It was a lot of fun though, and I think the kids all had fun as well.
Our new interim priest in charge has started at the church. His name is Dennis, and he's nice. He's only working two or three days a week (including Sundays), so I'll still have a lot to do. No danger of getting bored!
Today was the parish fun day - sort of a carnival. We had a inflatable obstacle course, which was a big draw, but we also had kite making, gold panning, a scavenger hunt in the church, a wood working table, various games and cemetery tours. There were nearly 300 people that came through, so it was very successful. The weather was perfect, which helps.
