Hello

I have come to realize that it's not the weather that can get me down but really, it's wether or not I choose to let it get me down. Yes... it is the Island. You know it is, when it's rained 3 days straight hard enough to cause rivers down the roads and puddles beneath your feet!

I am at camp Homewood. My new home for the next 6 months or soo. I got here yesterday night with my family at 10pm. Lights were all out... most people were sleeping. Kris was kind enough to welcome us and get us settled in. My room...is... rediculous... but homey.
I got right settled into work this morning barely had time to say farewell to my family. But... kissed them goodbye and wished them well.. I like to think this is me moving out sort of. Makes it seem more special to me!
I got straight into work!
Our group for the next two days is a pastoral retreat from Campbell river, and Courtney/Comox
25 people in total... mainly the families of pastors. So today I setup for two meals, did the dishes for 30 some people, mopped the kitchen, went sailing in the worst weather ever and got frozen hands, saw a grey whale glide out of the water, and watched 3 episodes of The O.C. A grand start to my new "job". I haven't taken any pictures yet and don't know if i will get a chance but it is gorgeous here right now. I wish you all could see it! I am really enjoying it so far so don't worry about me, my children. Love you all!

Josh.

Love the new look of the blog! It doesn't seem to be connecting to the old link though - it is not showing me on my blog list that you have updated your blog. Maybe that is true for other people as well?

You forgot the Nintendo in the van. Sorry about that. I think that is the only thing we have found so far.

Miss you already!
