Still feeling the LOVE from Friday!!!
It's hard to describe!
Its hard to describe the feeling you get when you know all we've taught the kids translates to other situations. Friday was a little test for our kids to see how they manage with different kids, with really warm weather and with different adults to deal with. They rocked it! Hearing the conversation, all groups celebrated the day and had a ton of fun! Kids were kind and compassionate and the adults made it a totally fun day too. What a great feeling knowing that our kids are fabulous people whatever we do with them, wherever we take them.
Huge thanks to all who organized and cleaned up after that event. It was huge and took lots of time to put together and take down. We thank you for your time and commitment to the success of this day.

Shelly's family told of their journey in deciding to go to California and to do missions. We know her family doesn't do anything in an ordinary way, they are destined to touch as many people as they can with their words and their actions. We feel it everyday with Shelly, time to let others in on what we've kept to ourselves for 12 years. Congrats in sharing your story with others Shelly.
Shane took the kids to the Bushie Trail on Wednesday and they cleaned like troopers. Our community in partnership with the RCMP cleaned up that space and it looks so much better now.
