Winter has finally come to Quesnel, and I spent the first few days of it loving being able to bundle up in the cooler temperatures and enjoy the snow
which I hadn’t seen in three years. Then
one morning I spent 20 minutes trying to warm up my car and scrape the ice off
the windows, at which point I wasn’t too thrilled about
winter anymore. My South Pacific blood
may take a while to get used to this.
With the onslaught of winter, it doesn’t seem like the best
time to take a road trip, but come Friday morning my brave VW Jetta, myself and
my dad will start our five day journey across the country. Destination: Durham, Ontario.
In
January I’ll be starting my new job at the New Tribes Mission home office, and
driving there this week will allow me to get my car (and as many belongings as
I can fit) there as well as spend a couple of weeks looking for a house/apartment to rent. I'm thankful for the chance to then fly home to BC for the holidays, and on December 31st I'll fly back to Ontario to settle in.
January will mark a full year that I’ve been in constant
moving/packing/travelling mode (on top
of the normal moving/packing/travelling of missionary life), and the wanderlust
that I’ve felt for most of my life has begun to wane. I’m ready to put my suitcases and boxes away for a while and am looking forward to what's ahead in Ontario.
So, for now I say goodbye to wanderlust…but maybe we’ll meet
again someday.
