It became so much warmer today that this day’s cares and woes could soon be forgotten. In fact, we also became enthused about the change in the weather which lead to a common feeling of exuberance. At such times it is difficult to hold back anyone who is gung-ho and it is in precisely such periods that one can become creative and upbeat. I can hardly wait for some upbeat results to become visible in the operation of the monastery. At last we got a few photos from the feast of Theophany which we will be posting. Please send us some of yours if you have any that would be of interest. We took a drive to a remote par of Fraser Valley, that is, the Chehalis River community which is still isolated on the one hand, yet with large housing development areas arising in the middle of nowhere.
