So, after three months here in Fort MAc, we are headed back to Ontario! That's right, we have commenced our fantastical five day journey back home.
Leaving was... well, difficult. There are a lot of really cool people in Fort McMurray that we have built relationships with and area going to miss greatly. People like Kayla, Genevieve, all the kids, Brandon, Brandon, Brandon (we met a LOT of Brandons...), and Daniel and Danielle. We will miss them all. Thursday and Friday were our goodbye days, first having a thank-you dinner with the people who sponsored us and then a huge party with the kids and all our friends. It was amazing, tearful and poignant. I don't think we will ever lose that little bit of Fort Mac left with us.
Our driving so far has been uneventful; no car breakdowns, no uber traffic. The U-haul proved to be a little more challenging to ring than we first thought, but we are getting along well with it. We have already crossed over into Saskatchewan and are ready to haul over to Manitoba.
So, tha;s all for now. Keep praying for us, and we'll be home soon!
Dei Gratia
