Hey everyone!
        I'm glad to see this blog is actually getting some use. It has been awesome to hear from you thus far and I'm glad we can keep in contact, continuing to support each other through prayer and word. Just thought I'd give you guys a bit of an update on my life. Things up here in Alberta are going great. Here are a couple of pictures of the kind of weather I got to come home to:

          A little different than what we had down in Costa Rica, but I had actually looked forward to this so either I am crazy or a true Albertan... maybe both. Currently I am working as a tech at a sports store, mounting bindings on, sharpening and waxing skis and snowboards. As you can imagine with the weather, the tech shop is pretty busy.
          Adjustment hasn’t been difficult and it is good to hang out with my family again. I just got a full-time job which I will be starting after Christmas. I look forward to the work especially because I will be working with my Dad. Been hanging out with some friends and stuff, just seeing where they’re at and surrounding myself with solid members of the body just as I spoke about so often in the last few weeks at Portantorchas (not Port). I look forward learning more and sharing what I have learned with some of the guys and just letting God work in and through me in that area. I have to admit that my consistency in reading hasn’t been real great since I got back, but it is improving. I have lots of time to be spending with Jesus and now it is just a matter of becoming consistent with it. It would be awesome if you guys would be praying for that consistency. All in all, things here are going really well.
I look forward to more updates from you guys and giving all of you more updates on life up here in the great white North.
God bless you guys,
With love in Christ,
Austin
