It happened again!

I left for Calgary on Monday morning with cloudy skies in the Kamloops area. Most of the day the weather was on and off rain. In the Golden,BC area, there were many sections of road construction. This is very usual in this part of BC.

Something very exciting happened in Golden when I stopped for gas. One of the other travelers who was purchasing gasoline for his vehicle was wearing a sweatshirt made out of the same material that our students at Mustard Seed used in the classroom. It came from the sewing factory that supplies us with material! How about that!

I arrived in Canmore around 4:30 pm and began looking for a place to stay. The weather was pouring rain and I was hoping to stay at the motel at which I had stayed on my travels in the past. But there were no rooms available. Hmmm.

So I began to check other motels in the town. Full as well! I discovered later that there was a huge conference going on at Banff this week. Canmore is close to Banff and was being used for housing for the conference. I finally did find a place to stay.

Yesterday morning I headed into Calgary. The rain was pouring and also windy. Not far out of Canmore, the rain turned into snow. Snow!!! Big white wet flakes of the cold stuff!!

In the afternoon I spent time with friends in Red Deer, Alberta. This morning I met with the people at the ACTION office in Calgary. It was a wonderful time of sharing with the staff of ACTION about the ministry of Mustard Seed.

This weekend I head back to Kamloops. please pray for journey mercies for the trip.
Next week, I head to Northern BC!

Blessings,
Barbara
