Goodbyes were still being said in the dining hall turned lecture hall (the lecture hall was under renovation) but we patiently waited while Daniel and Katie made sure they talked to everyone they wanted to.
Both students were already packed and ready to load their bags into our truck, so once the goodbyes were said, it took very little time to get on the road.
Here comes Katie with some of her bags.....
Daniel works at getting everything in - and still leave enough space for himself to sit comfortably in the back seat.....
We were pretty full - good thing Jim fixed those back doors a couple months ago!
It was another beautiful day for travel and my truck IS a comfy vehicle for riding in. We had no hitches at the boarder (in fact, the Australian's travelling with us said it was the fastest boarder crossing they had ever made) (and these are YWAM lifers....they have done MUCH international travel).
Did I mention in an earlier post that Katie (of HMK) and her mom would be coming home with us for a few days? Katie's mom (Sheree) came to the US for a conference in California. She timed it so that her conference would be over and she could be in MT for the graduation. They have friends in Alberta - AND it has been Katie's life long dream to go to Canada, so they first asked if they could catch a ride to Calgary where they would visit friends. It turned into a visit at our house for 2 days then Dan took them to back to Calgary to stay with their friends there before flying to Phoenix for a stay with more friends......when you are with YWAM for years, you make a whole lot of friends all over the world!
Anyway, we had a pleasant trip with many interesting conversations.
We stopped in Red Deer for supper where we heard more about the details of 'outreach' over the table. Much nicer to visit face to face without the road noise and engine noise of travel.
We arrived home fairly late due to our liesurely supper.
