it's only lies that i'm living

this morning i am in sault sainte marie. we were here for the weekend, catching the circuit assembly again. the reeds are serving here now so we couldn't pass up the opportunity to see them. br reed's talks are as good as ever and we even got to talk with them for a few minutes, which was wonderful.

it's strange to go to an assembly where you don't really know a single person. saturday people were a little wary of the random girls sleeping in the parking lot but on sunday it seemed like everyone knew who we were - the vw girls on their way east. one sister invited us over for dinner and showers. i have never appreciated showering as much as i do these days. turns out her and her husband went to the international convention in mexico city with phil peters in 2003. it was very strange to see pictures of phil in their album.

we're off to blind river, where another couple kindly offered to do the alignment on the van. it's wonderful how willing people are to help out in any way they can. then tonight we should get almost to sudbury, tomorrow to warren, then down to guelph by thursday, with lunch at bethel on friday!! i'm so excited for that.

the other night we were looking at the map, figuring out where we have left to go, and something clicked over in my mind. we're over halfway. we're in the last half of the trip. it's going to end soon. and as excited as i am to be discover halifax, i am very sad that this is going to be over. we probably have three weeks left, which is lots of time, but it feels different now. we don't get to be on the road forever. the end is in sight. i don't like that feeling.

though as it gets colder i probably won't mind so much.
