Kelowna, BC Canada (January 4)

Kelowna....wow, who knew Canada could be so beautiful!!! The drive from James' parents house was about 4 hours (5 hours with the snow) and what a beautiful 5 hours it was! We left Elijah home with his Oma and Opa because we had all been sick and we were worried he might get sick too.  The weather was also bad and we were traveling through the mountains in snow, so if anything went bad we wouldn't have Elijah to suffer the cold. Plus he got extra Oma and Opa time! :)

For those of you who don't know, Kelowna is a beautiful vacation spot!!! Skiing in the winter and water skiing in the summer! I have to tell you, Kelowna is a very attractive package on the superficial level for sure! James was pretty sick going. He had the flu with a sore throat that left him hard to preach since he was losing his voice, a slight fever (which turned very high after we got home), and congestion. Talk about a bad weekend for all of this! Despite that, the Lord gave him the ability to get through the back to back services. We met up with some of the people in the church the night before and had a little time of gathering at church. We did not stay long after church since James wasn't well and I wanted to get home to my little man! It was a very nice visit.  Our drive home was soooo snowy and we found that Canadians don't like to plow the roads! Good thing we had James' parents 4wd truck! :) Yesterday, we received word that despite the hard time James had preaching due to illness, they would still like to extend a call. Please be in pray as we consider the two offers on the table!  The Lord has been good to us and we pray that the Lord will prepare us in this time for the church he calls us to and to help us to adjust to all the changes well.
