I can see a clearing ahead that is full of wonderful joy. \u00a0I don&#8217;t need to see what&#8217;s beyond that, that will come in the right timing. \u00a0For now; I&#8217;m just breathing, hanging on, and continuing forward.<\/p>\n<p>May has been another whirlwind month. \u00a0It was wonderful to connect with so many at the Canadian AGM; have Argentine Empanadas at the Forks with great friends and travel around the provinces, yet again, in the little bumblebee. \u00a0I am thankful to amazing friends and times of rest and renewing. \u00a0I am grateful for so many on my drive back &#8211; Norquay, Durban, Minnedosa, Saskatoon, Prince Albert, Malmo, Rosebud. \u00a0I am encouraged and uplifted by so many in prayers, in support, and in knowing that there WILL be teams, individuals, couples, coming to Argentina. \u00a0(I might have to get a calendar started for you all to claim your spot) \u00a0There has been even more downsizing, packing, moving the final bits to storage. \u00a0There has been laughter (so really&#8230;. how many pairs of cowboy boots can I take with me?), and there has been tears, the everyday reminder that we&#8217;re not going together. \u00a0And through it all, there has been amazing friends at my side, holding me up.<\/p>\n<p>The KLRs are on the road! \u00a0This is definitely something I can do where the brain is not processing something and I am actually having fun. \u00a0It&#8217;s also been special to have a dear friend ride Max&#8217;s bike. \u00a0While he&#8217;s learning to ride &#8211; it&#8217;s been neat for me to watch (doesn&#8217;t matter how old someone is; they&#8217;re a teenager at heart when you get on a bike)\u00a0&#8211; and I know Max is happy about it. \u00a0The kayaks have been in the water too. \u00a0Another wonderfully relaxing time away from the busyness.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gallery.mailchimp.com\/c43a2dcd3b904c37e9bebf03e\/_compresseds\/c3dcab45-68f0-4d02-8470-6fe47501cab1.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gallery.mailchimp.com\/c43a2dcd3b904c37e9bebf03e\/_compresseds\/795efbfa-ab84-4a10-b57c-78b4d41ddc0b.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/><\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s so busy right now? \u00a0Well let me share with you for those of you who don&#8217;t already know. \u00a0I am going to Gather at the end of June. \u00a0The President of the Argentine Covenant Churches is going to be there. \u00a0I am going to be visiting the two Covenant Churches in Surrey. \u00a0I am visiting and saying goodbye to family and friends. \u00a0Then&#8230;&#8230;.
