It's been a couple of weeks since I've posted here, and that's because we've been away for the past couple of weeks. We spent a week in Edmonton, and then a week in Mexico. It's the first time since we've been in Prince George that we've been able to enjoy a complete summer vacation together as a family, because we had been unable to travel with the foster kids. So it was a great experience! Edmonton was enjoyable (even the mall, surprisingly enough!), and Mexico was as well. We spent a week in an area known as the "Mayan Riviera," which is about 100 km south of Cancun.

We got to see a number of Mayan archaeological sites, including Chichen Itza, Ek Balam, Coba, and Tulum, and I even got to go for a swim in a cenote, one of many underground caverns on the Yucatan Peninsula in south-eastern Mexico. It was beautiful, the weather was hot, but it's good to be home, refreshed and ready to get back to it. Vacations in the sun are great, but a good sunburn on the top of my feet reminded me once again that there's no heaven on earth!

And we hit the ground running, with a lot of things to look forward to - we're expecting several first-time visitors to worship with us on Sunday, we're starting a new Sunday evening Bible study, called "Six Steps to Reading Your Bible" (another course put out by Matthias Media), and to make things even better, we're enjoying an extended stay from the two foster boys that we had in our home before.

God is truly good to us, far beyond anything we deserve!
