First Ice Hockey Game!

After being back in Canada for just over a week I got to experience my first genuine ice hockey game! I enjoyed it more than I expected I would....couldn't believe how VIOLENT a game it is, the players seem to take great delight in beating each other up (who said rugby was brutal?! haha) and the crowd took great delight in watching it!

I had a great time in New Zealand with my family , 5 weeks went by like an absolute blur - I woke up one day and realised I only had a couple left! It was alot harder to leave this time around, but now I am back it feels "right" and I am again very settled.

I had a very smooth and seemingly fast trip back here, I really sensed God's gracious favour on me. I got my work permit easily...the looked at my documents and barely asked questions!

It was 8 degrees the night I got back - the "mild" weather was a relief after being in NZ's Summer! The warm weather continued over about a week but in the last few days has returned to "real" Winter, below zero and all. There is barely any snow though....hopefully there will be another dumping soon.
