Today Grant and I met our friend, Jackie O'Toole, at High Park in Central Toronto. The cherry blossoms were out in all their splendor, and the greenishyellow blossoms on the giant maple trees made for an almost sacred experience. We clicked and clicked our cameras as all around us others were clicking as well. Babies in strollers, dogs on leashes, a bride in a wedding dress, old, young and all ages in between were taking in the beauty that nature was offering today!
Several Sundays ago we attended a special musical fireside a tribute to the Resurrected Christ. Most of the 120 elders and sisters participated in either singing, violin, cello, organ or panio. It was a truly inspiring evening. Elder Ferland who studied at the University of Victoria played Meditation from Thais on his violin, Elder Pauni sang Oh Divine Redeemer, Elder Argueta played A Poor Wayfaring Man of Grief on his cello, and the mission choir sang, This Is The Christ. The spirit of the Lord was so strong there!
We were involved in the preparation of our Area Employment Conference in Brampton this past weekend. We drove to the Grey Hound Station in down town Toronto Friday evening at 4:00 p.m. to pick up a service missionary couple from Montreal who were coming to our Ontario Conference. They stayed in the guest suite in our apartment complex, ate out with us Friday night and had breakfast at our apt on Saturday morning early, then to the conference and back to the Grey Hound Station after the conference. I had a brief 8 minute talk to give at the conference - so needless-to-say we were a bit tired at the end of Saturday.
Did I mention that we see alot of neat places on our way to and from getting lost. In another 14 months we should have a pretty good handle on north, south, east and west Toronto and surrounding areas.
We had our first career workshop at our employment office on Queens Plate Drive. We had 7 job seekers and from the feed back - it was worth the while for the participants.
I walked over to the Woodbine race track last week just as the jockeys were parading before a race. Beautiul horses, reminded me of our horse Barcellona in Victoria who today has his first showing. Good luck Austen and Bar. Elaine
