Spring is finally here; for now anyway.  The first beautiful, warm, sunny day on a weekend.  I went running and wore a long sleeve shirt which was too warm.  Hopefully this weather lasts.  Yesterday was 3 degrees and misting, and there was a snow storm last weekend with almost 30cm of accumulation - spring in Nova Scotia.

My Ecuador photos didn’t turn out all that well. They looked fine on the little screen on the back of the camera, but once I downloaded them to my computer, I discovered that they were mostly blurry. So since mine aren’t that great, I’ll give you a link to photos taken by some other members of our team: http://jon.quist.ca/gallery/Camp-2007.

I am back at running after coming back from Ecuador and taking three full weeks off.  I somehow ended up with a cold in a place where the average daily temperature is above 30.  I have been back for a week and still have traces of this two week cold - almost three now.

Two more months until the Blue Nose International Marathon.  I had planned my training so that I was ready to go before I left for Ecuador.  I was up to 33 kilometres at the end of February.  Now I have to get back up there again and a little bit more.  Hopefully I will be ready to go by 2oth May.

Tomorrow afternoon at 12.55, we take off for our annual short-term mission trip to Guayaquil, Ecuador.  We get to spend eight hours in Newark Liberty International Airport and take the red-eye to Guayaquil and land at 6.25am.  Then two weeks of camp at the new camp - I can’t wait to see it - two years of prayer come to fruition.  We’re staying in Bastion for the final weekend and come back on the night of the 20th.  This is my seventh trip down and I am just as excited and apprehensive as if it were my first.

I trying a different theme in WordPress. Eventually I will get the time to make my own.

I have changed my web host and have changed the back end software that runs the site.

More changes will be coming!
