So Seth just left me here all alone. He had to go visit his own country because Canada would only let him stay 3 months. Next time hopefully it will be for longer. When we crossed the border last time lets face it, we looked a lot like young weed smoking bums with long hair and touques (thats what they call beanies up here, weird eh?). So it wasn't really a surprise that they gave us a hard time coming in. When Seth tries to come back over, he now knows how to be prepared. He cleaned out the car, got a haircut, has plans to buy a suit and tie, has a few character references from upstanding members of the Whistler community, and even left the samurai sword up here.
Even though he is much more prepared than last time, we really need your prayers for him coming back into Canada. Also pray for finances, as he doesn't really have any. And will probably need to show the border patrol that he has enough for the time he is up here.

In other news, I finally found a Job! I'm working as a busser (support staff) in a pub/restaurant. Praise Jesus that i got the job! To let you know how bad the work situation is here; there were 120 CV's/resumes dropped off in the 2 days after i had started work. I'm enjoying the job so far, i get tips at the end of each shift, and everyone is nice and friendly.

Thank you for all your prayers. We love you all.

Did you have to get your hair cut to get the job? Hope you're not too lonesome without Seth and hope he can get back soon. Thinking of you,
