Where in England are You From?
That is the question that I was asked last night, and it wasn't something I was expecting to be asked at all. A guy from New Zealand who works for the camp asked me that last night. I said I had only spent a short amount of time there, but I was "from" Luton. He said that every now and then, some of my words sound very English and he had just assumed that I had been born there and moved to Canada at an early age. I laughed, but thanked him for the compliment. He then asked me where else I had lived, so I told him I had lived in Caronport, near Los Angeles, Regina, Winnipeg, and Luton. He asked me which one of these was home to me. I said that technically home was Caronport because of family, but Luton was home in my heart. On a further note to that though, I added; really though, home is where God has put you and you need to be content and happy to where you are at the moment. So, God knows where my heart is, but I am still happy where he has put me for the time being. If he sends me back to England that is fantastic, and if he doesn't, then obviously I'll be making my home somewhere else. It was a really neat conversation.
Last night after dinner, a bunch of us had a Red Dwarf Marathon. It almost made me cry because it reminded me of watching it with people at 24. However, i nearly died from laughter and what made it even funnier was that people were laughing at me because they themselves didn't know what was so funny. I love British comedy. We watched all of series 3 and 4 yesterday and most of us have today and tomorrow off as well, so we may continue with the Red Dwarf Marathon.
Wednesday is golf tournament day. Please keep me and others who are helping to run the thing in your prayers this week. Please pray for nice weather too. There has been flash flood warnings the last few days because wwe have had so much rain here....honestly, i thought England had been bad for rain, but this is so much worse.
I'll write again soon. I am looking forward to having my monday off because it is Victoria Day...we have you British to thank for that one! Cheers!!
