The Golden Years

Now having said that i'm not really sure where to start. i guess i'll just roll with it. whistler, so far, has been such an amazing place to be, the beauty of the mountains, the trees, the clouds, you get the point this place is beautiful. jonny and i have been so blessed here. everyone is looking out for us making sure we don't starve or go without in anything really. skiing this year has been super duper fun, due to lack of housing we haven't been able to get up as much as we would like. though in way it has been such a blessing everytime we do go up. and by the by jonny boy is pretty much killing it as always. it cool to see how our attitudes have changed from last year, being able to go up 120+ days, to this year. just loving every minute. anyways i got to go. love you all!!!!!! send us prayer requests if you have them.

Hey there. Sorry for the lack of updates, this is the first time i have ever had a blog so bear with me as i get better at it. We finally found a place to live! We moved in last Saturday which is exactly 2 months from when we first arrived in Whistler. We are really stoked.
So i got a call from someone responding to my ad in the newspaper on the Thursday, and we went to look at it straight away. It was this big house that was full to the brim with people. Kind of like a long term hostel. Anyways we weren't too happy about this place, but we felt pressured to move in there as we didn't really want to pass opportunities for a place to live while we were still homeless. Also the landlord was a pretty weird guy, and there was a very good chance of him being high on something. We went away unsure what to do so we spent some time listening to God and asking him for guidance for the situation. During our time of listening, i got a phone call about another place, which was way too expensive, but it let us know that we had other options. The next morning i got yet another call about a room in a family home that was much more reasonable, so we went to look at it and it turns out it is a family from the church that we go to! We moved in on the next day, and we are really happy here. God even confirmed it with a random verse from Haggai 2:9 where it says "The glory of this present house will be far greater than the glory of the former house" and i know that it is talking about Gods temple, but i think that God used it to tell us something.
