Last update + Photo Gallery!
Finally, I managed to start a photo gallery on my site! You can now use the link in the menu “Photo Gallery” to get there. Problem is, I already used up the 100 MB that Flickr is giving me this month. Bummer. Unless someone wants to donate money for an upgraded Flickr account, that means I will only be posting a pic here and there on the site. Don’t worry, more pictures will come in August, I assure you!
In the meantime, a lot has been going on. First of all, the kid’s camp in Duck Bay is still going. There are less kids showing up than at the start, but still around 20 of them come. It makes things a bit more manageable. I am now actually giving some catechism classes, but we have to begin at the very basis, so with actual stories from the Bible. The other day, I was able to tell them about Noah, the day thereafter about Abraham, and now Moses will be up shortly.
Apart from the camp, there are still the regular Masses in the various parishes. Today we had Mass at Camperville, where I took the pictures that I’ve just uploaded to my photo gallery. It’s a gorgeous church, don’t you all agree? Tomorrow I will have a day off, and Rose and Joe (who you can also see in one of the pictures) are taking me to a rodeo in Swan River. I bet that will be sooo cool!
The last week of my stay here begins tomorrow. At the one hand, that makes me sad, because I have learnt a lot here. Often if you are in the middle of a process, you don’t really realize it. Like someone that organizes an event but can’t enjoy herself because she’s too busy organizing it – she knows what is going on, but can’t really perceive what happens… that’s how I feel at times. I know God is working in my life and through my work here, but I can’t say exactly what it is. All I can say is that I am filled with a feeling of deep gratitude. I know that there are many out there that do pray for me and my apostolate here. I am very grateful for that, and please, continue! I need it!
At the same time, I am looking forward to go to Winnipeg. Already there are some events scheduled. There will be a BBQ with the seminarians, I’ll see the Winnipeg Blue Bombers (everyone knows I love football – the real kind, not soccer!) and I will meet with the archbishop. Also I will meet my good friends Fr. Albert and the other oblates, as well as Richard Osicki, my old boss from St. Paul’s College. Anyway, time for me to eat whatever Fr. Sebastian cooked up for us. He’s taking really good care of me, so don’t worry about me
