These are some more of our Favourite Things

There is so much to love about being here.

Fresh seafood in many varieties

Picturesque churches everywhere

Cute pictures showing reserved parking

Descriptive No Outlet signs

The somewhat rare blue-sky warm summer days that helped change . . . 

this to 

this (yes, the same sidewalk months later)

Sister Street, the new office missionary who has been
SO helpful and taken a load off of us, particularly many
of Sister Holbrook's responsibilities. She's not afraid
to handle the techie things and can work wonders on
the computer and social networking and computer
 things we're scared to attempt.
We love the joy she spreads and her can-do attitude!

The many faces of Mortimer, the sinkhole in the parking lot by our old apartment.
(If you look closely you can see his frown that started after we drove over him.)
Of course, we didn't like him much as we bounced over him pulling in and out,
but the apartment manager filled him in with some bags of pourable asphalt
every few days, and we managed not to fall in! We
like him much better in retrospect.

This is a great place to serve. More senior couples are needed--we've lost four couples since we arrived and haven't gotten any replacements yet. If you know of anyone considering a mission, we'd love to have them consider Halifax. It's beautiful, there's a temple here, the people are friendly, and they speak English! Lots to love.
