End of 2016

Today is the last day of 2016 but we are staying in Grenada for another 2 weeks.  Time has gone by fast, but I am anxious to get back to my cats.

Speaking of my cats, I have made friends with some cats here.  On Wednesday at the beach, I saw a little grey cat that looks just like my Sid at home.  The little cat was so cute and so friendly. :)

There is also an Orange cat at the house were we live that is so cute and friendly - she even came in and slept in our bed.

So let me tell you about the events this week.
On Monday we went in the ministry.  I have to use an umbrella in the ministry because the sun is so hot.

Then on Monday afternoon, we went on a road trip to the north end of the Island to a place called Petite Anse.  I love to swim in the pool there that overlooks the ocean.  We also had supper there.

On Tuesday, I had to do school work, but we went out for pizza with a bunch of friends we met at Shane's wedding.  Some were going back to Guyana so it was nice to see them again before they left.

On Wednesday we went to the beach at the Rex.


This video shows the little snails I saw.


We also watched the sunset.


Thursday was school work day again.  On Friday we had our missionary friends, Robert and Ruby over for the evening and I showed them my card tricks. ;)

Today we went in the ministry again this morning.  It was a hot morning and we climbed some very steep hills.  We needed a rest after that. 


We are going to the meeting at Robert and Ruby's congregation this evening.  Their meeting is at 5PM on Saturday.  That is a weird time to me, but I guess that's what works best for them.
I guess this is my last post this year. But we will still be in Grenada next year (ie. tomorrow)

The Wedding

This week we went to a Wedding in Grenada for Shane and Alyssa.  Shane is a friend we met when we first came to Grenada 4 years ago.  He is really tall and he knows sign language. 

He got married on Saturday to a nice girl from Guyana named Alyssa. 
Two years ago when my oldest brother Lucas got married, Shane was the best man.  So my brother was the best man for Shane's wedding.
My whole family helped with the wedding.  Mom and I helped with decorating and helped to clean the reception hall.  My other brothers, Tyler and Jamin,  and Tyler's fiancĂ© Jayden, worked together to do the photography for the wedding.

And my dad gave the wedding talk.


I also had a lot of fun at the reception after the wedding.  Here is a picture of me, mom, and Brittany at the reception.

My dad put together a video of the wedding:

Back in Grenada for 4th time.

We are back in Grenada again, for another month.  This year we went earlier in the Winter (December) because a friend of our was getting married.  But it was nice to get away from the cold.  It was already -25 Degrees when we left Edmonton.



After working so hard building our new house back in Spruce Grove, I needed a break.  Wow, it is so nice to be back in the warm ocean.
