We hope to make it to about 150 km east of Hope by the end of today. The night crew is already busy walking as I type this. It is 10:15 PM right now. It was really wet walking for the most part today. Uphill , windy and surrounded by wilderness. The beauty around you is just breathtaking! At one point I just had to stop to take in the beauty of the whole valley. Not much reaction from the highway traffic, other than a few honks. We think they were positive. We are now staying with host families in Summerland. Tomorrow we join a vigil outside an abortion clinic in Kelowna. My first experience of this kind. It should be really exciting as well as a serious eyeopener into the reality of abortion. The warmth of the people who are hosting us just amazes me. These people want to do nothing but serve us. They have taken us into their homes, fed us, washed our clothes and just want to talk to us. They are not pushy in any way and just welcomed us to use their homes as if it were our homes! One of the host families has an adopted girl who was taken from a family that did crystal meth. She was the eight child. She is different from the rest of the family. She is extremely extroverted and very energetic. The first thing she wanted to do, was hug us all as we walked into the door. Quite impressive for a 9 year old! I better get going to sleep. We got a full day of talks and praying to do tomorrow in Summerland, Kelowna and Penticton. Look out Oakanagan, the Lord is here to bring life to your cities. Here we come!
