Days 3 thru 7

I have gone through my fair share of weather these past days.

Day 3: Travel to Winnipeg...
Total Kilometers: 550 (roughly)

It was a pretty much normal day...overcast but not raining, warm but not overbearing. I only rode 540 Kilometers that day and arrived safe and sound in Winnipeg. Days 4 & 5 I stayed with friends of mine, Christine & Charles, in Winnipeg and spoke at a church in Landmark (just East and South of Winnipeg). It was a great time; I also have friends, Leighton & Nita, in Landmark who made the arrangements for me to speak at this church. I spoke at the sunday school and then performed my monologues for the congregation. I then partook of lunch at their place and got caught up. It's been a few years since I've really had a good chance to catch up. They are wonderful people and I hope they are able to make it to the wedding.

After that, I relaxed the following day with my friends in Winnipeg and we visited their church and some of their church's initiatives; they go to New Life which is located in one of the core neighbourhoods there. Quite an amazing ministry. At the end of the day, we had supper and then I helped them out in their part of a community garden. A little bit of a frustration for them as there has been some serious miscommunication between departments and they've had to move their community garden a couple of times...not for bad reasons other than miscommunication. So I helped them transplant whatever could be saved.

Day 6: Travel to Regina...
Total Kilometers: 540

WET! Stupid, rainy and bloody wet!

It may have been a miserable ride but getting to see Gary and Renee in Regina was awesome. They have the cutest kids in the world. When I am able to scan the pictures in of them I will and you all will agree with me. So, even though the trip to Regina was a nightmare, being in Regina was awesome.

Day 7 (today): Saskatoon!
Total Kilometers: 250

Another stinkin' rainy day. Blah! Stupid.

But here I am, and I am staying here for roughly a week talking to churches and individuals about partnering with me financially in my ministry. I have a number of friends here and am typing away at my buddy Don's 'puter. [Thanks big guy!]

I am wet, tired and my bum is numb, well actually more than just numb. But I will go into that later.

Thank you for reading...tune in next time when I talk more about my bum!
