Wow! The past two days have been a whirlwind! Dia and I left Saskatoon yesterday (Monday May 23rd), and hit the road on what was a beautiful drive with plenty of trees, lakes, and a few potholes J. We arrived in Ile, and began the not-so-fun process of unpacking in our new home for the next six weeks (the parish rectory-great location right behind the friendship centre!). Last time we were here, it was in April, and the lake was still frozen. Now, we are able to enjoy the views and weather.
I’m reading “The Book of Awesome”, and couldn’t help but thinking of a couple super awesome things here in Ile:
Awesome: arriving in a new town and being welcomed and invited to events immediately!
We visited the Friendship Center, Preschool, Elementary School, High School, Hospital, Long Term Care Facility, Youth Center, Town Office, and RCMP, and met with some staff and elders at the high school (yes, it was one exhausting day!). Everyone was so friendly and open to having us help out in any way we can. We’re so excited for this opportunity!
Awesome: living in a beautiful town on a lake in Northern SK for the next six weeks!
Do I need to explain any further?
We were worried about how exactly we would be able to connect ourselves to the community, but thanks to such a welcoming place, we have found “making links” is easier than we thought!
