Great Expectations

 Hello again,

I should probably be in bed, fast asleep.  Tomorrow morning, hours before the sunrise, I will be leaving the beautiful home that I live in with my family to head off to St. Johns, Newfoundland.  I can honestly say that I do not know what to expect on this journey, but I can say that I am believing for more than I could ever ask or imagine.

I'm not going to make this blog long.  I felt I should keep up with my word on the last blog, which was that I would update whoever is reading this blog before I fly to Canada.

I am so exhausted, but I am at peace.  As I sit here and type type on this page, it is very evident to me that I do not know where I will be living when I arrive in the windy city of St. Johns.  Guess what?  God knows exactly where I will be living!  He has already seen me in that place, which He has prepared for me.  I can hardly wait to see what is to come.  I will update later on the great place that I end up living in for the next four months!

I am ending the blog here.  It is time to go to bed.  Let me just say one quick, interesting fact about St. Johns.   According to Wikipedia (which I consider a fairly credible source), "of major Canadian cities, St. John's is the foggiest (124 days), snowiest (359 cm (141 in)), wettest (1,514 mm (59.6 in)), windiest (24.3 km/h (15.1 mph) average speed), and most cloudy (1,497 hours of sunshine).  LOL!  I also found out that with the windchill factor, the average temperatures are going to be a lot lower than what the thermometer says.  How does an average of -24.6 degrees celcius in November?  I can hardly wait! 

Next time you hear from me, I will be in beautiful St. Johns, Newfoundland!  Just wait 'till you see this place.

Sincerely,

Benjamin
