We headed back out in the snow and freezing temps to distribute more brochures to schools and neighborhoods. We had some great contacts today with teachers and principles of the local schools. God provided for us several "persons of peace" who are interested and excited about the way the Upward league will involve the children. Following the schools we hit a nice new neighborhood for door to door distribution. And in order to thaw out, we went to Tim Horton's coffee shop for a classic hot chocolate and donut.
The landscape of Nova Scotia is breathtaking, even in the snowy cold winter. Lakes are frozen and boulders are covered with white caps. Michael, Dana, Kelly and I went out to the famous Peggy's Cove to see the lighthouse and Nova Scotia's most prized picture spot overlooking the Atlantic. We also enjoyed a nice bowl of Seafood Chowder (Haddock, Lobster, Potatoes).
Tonight we met with a group of volunteers eager to learn how to run the Upward League Manager - the system used for drafting, organizing the league, and other administrative tasks. Basically it was a walk through the computer. Tomorrow we will start early with the same group for coaching and ref training. During the training Pastor Ian received a phone call for a new player registration!
But for now, and after computer training, we are headed out to Tim Horton's coffee shop - I'm ordering a double - double and a chocolate dip.
