Getting reading for our move up to Prince Albert, Sask.

We are back in Canada now. We are feeling a little more relieved now that everything is more stabilized. Alice is feeling much better now and more energetic. I am also feeling like I am getting more things done. This week, we got most of our errands done. Now I am painting my parents deck so we can have a BBQ outside.

We are now in the midst of preparing to move to Prince Albert, Saskatchewan (pop. 45,000) to start my internship at Messiah Lutheran Church. Last week, we drove up to Prince Albert to look for an apartment and found a place about 5-6 blocks from the church. This is more convenient because I can also go home for lunch. We will move some of our stuff into our apartment on July 27. We will rent a small 10-foot U-Haul truck because we don't have much stuff. We are looking forward to getting settled into our new place.

I was told that Messiah Lutheran Church has an average of about 150-200 attendance on Sundays. It seems like an active congregation for a Lutheran church. I anticipate I will feel a little nervous but that's the excitement of a new place and new people.
