This week we have been enjoying God's abundance! The upshot of living on donated food is that you sometimes get expensive/elitist/organic/Whole Foods that you would never buy for yourself-- this week it was guacamole, dozens of eggs, fresh vegetables and fruits of all kinds... but this week has been about more than food. It's also been a great week of learning and building relationships. Last weekend, A. flew standby out to Calgary with his cousin who is a pilot for Air Canada. His cousin is moving from Calgary to Vancouver, so they drove a moving van across the Canadian Rockies together and even stopped for a brief hike in Banff National Park. Meanwhile, I was back in Vancouver discovering the presence of some uninvited company-- lice. Remembering my last bout with these parasites of the scalp, I was not amused. But even having head critters turned out to be a strange gift. The hours that I spent having my friend and teammate Rose search through my hair this week resulted in great conversation and a lot of bonding. And, though I have yet to see the Canadian Rockies, the time on my own over the weekend resulted in deepening friendship with some of the people in our neighborhood and our community.
