Coming to the end of Month #1

Well, we’ve now been in Winnipeg for close to one month, and this past weekend we celebrated our official “Welcome Weekend” with our Territorial leaders, Commissioners William and Marilyn Francis, Colonels Don and Ann Copple and others.

Leading up to the weekend I have enjoyed two weeks of classes, including a survey class of the Old Testament, Introduction to Salvation Army Theology, Church History, and Field class.  So far I have very much enjoyed these classes.  I even had my first test on Friday in my Old Testament class – the marks aren’t back yet.

This week things start to settle into a fairly regular schedule that will establish a bit of a rhythm.

I’ll be trying to update somewhat regularly.

Until next time. :)

We made it!

It's been a while, and an update is due.

Jason and I made it to Winnipeg a couple of weeks ago, and are settling in just fine. Our last couple of weeks before coming here included Music Camp, Officers Camp (for Jason) and a short camping trip at Dinosaur Provincial Park.

This is our campsite, and the tree that made our car sticky.

In our time in Winnipeg so far, we have seen The Forks and the Assiniboine Park Zoo, both of which I recommend you see if you are coming through the city.

I've had a few adventures trying to navigate myself around the city both with and without a GPS. I'm getting the hang of things, but slowly. I will be starting work on Monday, so this "weird vacation" (as I've been calling it) is now over.

We're trying to get into being better bloggers, with more frequent updates. Jason will likely update on how everything is going at the college. You never know what you'll hear from me.

Until next time,

This is Susan
