WE HAVE ARRIVED

I am sure Gregory will want to give more details later, but I wanted to let everyone know that we are now in Canada. Here are a few facts:

We left Pinckney, Michigan on Monday at 2 p.m.

We stopped in Racine, Wisconsin due to bad weather

Tuesday, we drove to Alexandria, Minnesota

Wednesday we arrived at the Canadian border around 12:45 p.m.

We were at immigration for around an hour. They gave us a 2 1/2 year visiter's visa and didn't even look at the stuff in the moving truck. . . a huge blessing because when they take stuff out, we would be responsible to repack it.

We arrived in Winnepeg around 3:30 p.m. Mrs. Pickett drove us downtown to get our medical cards. This only took about 15-20 minutes.

On Thursday we drove all the way to Thompson and arrived around 4:45 p.m.

Gregory and two other men unpacked the moving truck and trailer. I now have an apartment full of plastic tubs that need to be moved around and unpacked, but we have our very own apartment. The apartment is a nice size for us. The livingroom gives the boys enough space to play in.

Thank you for all of your prayers,
The Bay Family
