OK, knowing that my fellow Canadians will think less of me, I am still gonna go ahead and say that it's COLD up here. I hear it was minus 40 with the wind chill factor and that was 3 hours south of here. But luckily for me things have been slow and I haven't had to be outside much.
I was super busy making people smile last week in so many ways. On several occasions I received calls asking me to take dinners out to remote locations to our drivers. It was kind of hit and miss with the meals, as the main chef is on days off, but the guys were generally appreciative. I was also helping some of the guys with parts and things. Plus after a bit of research and with the help of an old friend...hopefully I was able to put a smile on a new friend's face.
I am normally a very social person but sometimes find myself in a situation where I think: "I hope I don't have to sit with that person (or) I hope I don't have to talk with that person". You know...sometimes you just want your own space...a little private time and this past week I found myself thinking those thoughts a couple of times only to have it turn into a great experience. I had to drive a new guy around and wasn't thrilled at the prospect but we ended up having a really great conversation about family and ideology....I almost wished that it didn't have to end. Other times I go into situations with this negative hope for solitude and then it turns into a great missionary moment.....
So I've decided that my privacy is not as valuable as lending someone an ear or sharing a Gospel message....cause when you think about it......we are all here for each other....and I'm glad I'm here.
My trailer mate Lonnie has had an emotional week-end. He lost someone very dear to him AND he became a grandpa the next day. He's also getting very excited to meet Ms. Greece and their emails and calls are getting hotter and hotter....so hot that they have a PG rating and therefore cannot be described any further because as you know this is a G rated blog. BUT....next time I'll tell you a horror story about something I saw one night that still haunts me from time to time and barely squeaks in under the G rating.
Have a great week my friends!
