Day Seven - At the Dugout

Sorry for such a long wait. Apperently my dad is getting impatient.

So to answer you questions daddy, yes we did have to drive in the rain; it wasn't that bad though. It never rained very hard.

Now about why we stopped in Marathon. At the time we didn't want everyone to worry so we didn't post anything. BUT, Rick (aka Big Daddy K or BDK for short) decided it would be a good idea to skateboard down a ramp. He landed on his back hard and broke a few ribs. But God was definitely looking after us. We had to stop because Rick was not doing well at all. Luckily, there was a hospital only 10 minutes away. AND If we had taken the RV, no one else could have driven because Rick is the only one with the license to drive it. Then... driving got back to normal until our last day when our van broke down. Yes, it broke down completely and is still sitting at Canadian Tire. So we waited on the side of the road for about 3 hours and took pictures and had a little worship time. We got a tow and Seana's CAA covered it and we all got back safely.

So right now I am sitting in the Dugout which is the awesomest place ever! It's a community youth center kind of like the Bridge. Yesterday we cleaned a lot...Me Seana and Ailin got the bathrooms. It was actually pretty disgusting. The was quite a bit of graffiti in the boy's and we had to scrub that down. And in the girls bathroom there was an out of order toilet...of course being curious we all wanted to know why exactly it was out of order... put it this way, if someone's body was capable of doing that to the toilet, they should be in the hospital! ick!
The rest of the day and most of this morning we have been playing Rock Band, which is the funnest time of my life. We've met a few kids and I am starting to read up on stuff for the Ink Speaks stories. We have definitely been praying a lot and I am sure you can see just how incredibly faithful God has been in taking care of us.

As for where we are living, we are definitely being spoiled. Most of us have our own rooms and only two are sleeping on couches, which just happen to be more comfortable than my bed. WE have some really nice neighbours. Their names are Calvin, Travis, Ben, Ken, Josh, and Josh. haha WE only met four of them, not Ken or the other Josh. We borrowed a kettle from them to make tea and found out they had rock band so we will probably be over there a lot...haha. That is if I don't get tired of it...totally kidding!

Alright so that is all for now. I would just love for you all to continue to pray for our team while we are away. I miss you all as always and love you soo much! I will try to stay in contact as much as possible. I just bought a calling card and am going to attempt to call my family tonight. If it works out you may hear from me.
