a SAHLA THAI experience

Yesterday was a good day. Not that productive, in a ministry sense, but a great day nonetheless.
Early, I took Jenny to Niagara Falls (with Heymans having let us borrow his car, again!) to have her one remaining stitch removed. She is up and around now, and starting to feel much better. After that we wanted to get some pictures at the Falls but it was very overcast and kinda chilly. We made the best of it and returned to St Catharines after getting some All-U-Can-Eat Breakfast Buffet for $7.99! Sweet.

In the evening, as sort of a birthday meal, kinda, Jenny and I went to my (and hopefully her) favorite restaurant in St Catharines...........SAHLA THAI. It is the only place I've been where I can get food that is spicy enough. Obviously, it is a Thai restaurant, and the food is kinda exotic. It is soo good though. I will miss Sahla Thai :(

Later today, we head to Hamilton(HCC) where Jenny was the children's pastor for the better part of a year. Being in MIA since her cyst took over, we'll go back today to teach the kids her heresy one more time. It should be sweet. Tomorrow and monday are gonna be sweet too, but we'll cover that next week.

post-surg

Friday, Jenny's dad (John) and I took Jenny to Niagara Falls to have the cyst (demon) on her tailbone removed. John and I ate at Perkins, cruised the Falls, and sat at Tim Horton's while we killed off the time that Jenny was in surgery. We picked her up about 7pm and headed home for St Catharines. Jenny was in considerable pain, but relieved that her body was now in recovery mode instead of coping mode.

Yesterday was to be the Celebration Bible College (CBC) graduation feast at Niagara Celebration Church (NCC). We had out hearts set on going since early January, and Jenny's stubbornness in the end won out (and also the fact that we paid $50 for our tickets)! We went and partook of the buffet and Christianese conversation that ever-so-often dominates these kinds of events. But we made the best of it (seeing that Jenny was in obvious discomfort), raving it up with the Karanfilis' and Nita and others. The pleasantness(?) of the evening hardly made up for the night of pain Jenny endured as a result of going. I don't like to do it, but Jenny has now been officially grounded until her body heals. PEI and Double H Ranch are much too important to be rescheduled due to a relapse.

So, today we camped out at the Vine, watching Gremlins 2, missing church at Scott St Manor, and the actual CBC graduation service at NCC. Jenny really wanted to go seeing as her twin (class president Jessica) was to speak a presidential address. Thankfully, NCC streams its services so we were able to watch the proceedings live. It was doubly sweet seeing that Jenny had arranged the NCC bus to pick up residents of Scott St Manor and drive them to the service to watch Jessica and Colin graduate!

We are praying that Jenny would have a speedy and complete recovery. Tomorrow I take her back to Niagara Falls for a follow up to see how she's healing. Thanks for the car Heymans!!

Niagara Falls evangelism

I just got back not long ago from evangelizing in a mall in Niagara Falls. It wasn't the best day of witnessing, but it's always good. It's an addictive habit to start. Colin and Jessica picked up Kyle, Jenny, and I at the Fairview Mall and we booked it to Niagara Falls. Since it was cold and windy, we stuck to indoors. Like I said, people were not too excited to hear about the love of Jesus today, but a couple of people were at least willing to talk to us for a few minutes.

On the way there, we stopped at this Catholic church and went inside. It was an awesome church. I love the old churches with the stained glass and stuff. I'm not much for the idols, but hey, the charismatics aren't perfect either; far from it. It was a good day though, at the Falls.

In about an hour I head to Wal-Mart for my last shift. Time in St Catharines is drawing to a close. I will indeed miss some of the people I've met here. I won't likely admit it to them, but I will. Anyways, if I never see them again, "I'll see them by the River", so it's all good. Keep evangelizing everyone. Let's get this "Christ-business" done!

Clifton Hill (Niagara Falls)

This evening Josh Heymans, Jenny (Hinn) Brown, Tim Hawryluk and I went to Clifton Hill to do some street ministry. It was an 'alright' time, nothing too special, but some people did indeed get to hear of the love of God, so that was good. The weather was great today, Clifton Hill is gonna be a great evangelism opportunity when it warms up and the tourist season starts. Wonder if I'll still be around here?
