Impact in Calgary

Today was another very eventfull day. We started the day with mass as usual. After mass, I had probably was my best breakfast yet! I have to describe this - waffles with peaches and cream with maple syrup, bannana loaf bread, cantelope, choclate liquor cake and coffee. The lady who we are now staying with is spoiling us like never before. "Death by charity" is what our team calls it. She definitely has a great heart and you can tell how devout a family is sometimes by the number of holy statues and books they have in the house. This family has tons of those!

After a heavy breakfast, the day walkers which included me had to hit the roads. The scenery is amazing in Alberta. You just have these endless green fields. Some areas have these herds of cows. You have the rocky mountains in the backdrop of what I would call a "sea of endless flat green fields". We got a few thumbs up, but as we entered the busy highway we got a lot of fingers. I enjoyed the last 3 km with my friend Jonathan Deuling singing the divine chaplet, praise and worship and making our own chants for Calgary. The day walk made about 60 KM and we are just 50 KM away from Calgary!

We all had a much anticipated evening as we were scheduled to go to Cornerstone put up by CCO. CCO does a 4 months mission project called IMPACT during the summer in different cities accross Canada every year. This year it happened to be in Calgary. There were easily over 200 young adults at this event! The keynote speaker of Cornerstone was the founder Andre who talked about mission and holiness. His main point was that we are all called and built to be a missionary just as we are all called and made for holiness. Tomorrow we are scheduled to pray and walk by an abortion mill with a few others that will be joining us. Together we hope to send a powerful message to stand up for a culture of life in Canada. More numbers = More miracles. As is said in Matthew 18:20 "For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them." With more people to pray for the end to abortions, I have no doubt that the impact will be huge!

Okay enough with the "impact" puns. That's it for now. Adios!
