These are a few of our Favorite Things

Wherever we travel, we always find different ways of doing things. Here are some our our favorites so far in Nova Scotia:

Staggered left lane

At traffic lights the left turn lane stop line is back a couple of metres rather than flush with the other lanes in the intersection. It makes for more room for cars turning left into the lane next to you. Makes a lot of sense!

Canadians are really into recycling. Some of them anyway. Some food courts and places like this sort your garbage for you, just to make sure it gets thrown in the correct recycling bins! This was at a kind of truck stop, a joint venture between Wendy's and Tim Hortons (kind of a Canadian Starbucks).

This next picture is of a bulletin board in our ward's Primary room. Each of the sheep has a bell around its neck with the name of a child from the Primary. That's the entire Primary, not just one class! It's heartwarming to see families starting to grow up in the Church, knowing that future generations will have the blessings of the gospel. As small as the Primary is, the YM/YW programs in our ward are the biggest in the stake.

Thought the grandkids would like to see this pretty rainbow. It's an oil spot that froze. We saw lots of these all winter.

Typical washroom sign, right? (Washroom is Canadian for restroom)

That is, until you see it close up

Got our laugh for the day

Missions are good for the soul in many ways. We're having fun, enjoying the fantastic people, learning lots, loving the work, receiving blessings, serving the Lord.
