From Alex!

Hi everybody,

My name is alex capehart when i first sighned up for this mission trip i was expecting to on vacation to take some time off from washington. but as sson as i got deeper into the mission trip i realaized that is not what god has called me to do. on our way to tofino it was a very loooong bus ride it wass about 9 hours if i am right suprisingly no body was grumpy from waking up at 4 o clock and being on the road at 5 30 in the morning it wass an amazing trip over here. 

So on canada day it was the most amazing celebration i have ever seen Canada flags everywhere they really love there country. i remeber sitting in costco eating gravy and fries which by the way is amazing but i saw a gentlemen who was a preety high class man with a aawsome suit but then i saw two Candian flags drawn on his face which i thought was amazing. what i love most is the atmoshphere on Tofino it is the most friendly place on the planet every one knows everyone you can talk to anyone. i remeber one of us were walng around town and you see a pretty high class women talking to a hobo like they have been best freinds since they were kids.

I realaized that skate boarding is really big not only in tofino but on canada day as well i was sitting there in the morning and the skate board park was drenched with rain but that did not stop them from skate baording if we were in Federal Way or Seattle they wouldve cancelled it becasuse of the rain, but not Tofino there were  at least 4 kids with brooms sweeping up the water so they could skate. this one guy had a home made flame thrower to make the water go away which i thought was really cool.

So what i have learned so far is that to not expect anything coming on this trip god is soooooo amazing and does amazing things for all us. i feel he will show me what i came here to do whetehr its give kids piggy back rides for 3 hours straight or not do anything and go throught the day but i know god has something planned for me during this trip.

Sincerely,

Alex Capehart.
