CLBI – Camrose, Alberta

Chris was invited to be a guest lecturer at Canadian Lutheran Bible Institute in Camrose, Alberta and was given the monumental task of doing an overview of the entire New Testament in only a week! It was a bit overwhelming for the students and even more so for poor Chris. But he persevered and made it through the week…

I also struggled through staying with Greg and Barb Pietz in their home and bumming around Camrose (shopping, getting coffee, church, eating lefse, walking around the lake, going to water aerobics, an ice hockey game, Tim Horton’s…Chris did get to do some of these things, too) and exploring West Edmonton Mall. ;o) To make the week even more fun, we woke up to a light dusting of snow one morning!

  

  The mall was pretty cool but my favorite place was back in little old Camrose…

This place had just about everything you can imagine bulk and some you would never imagine…

  

I also learned some things about Canada I didn’t know before: thanks to strict regulations, chicken is more expensive than beef. They are way more multi-cultural! Even tiny little towns have good ethnic foods (except for Mexican food). Their flour has more gluten in it than ours. Those are the only ones I can think of right now… :)

Barb and Greg were lovely hosts and we met some wonderful people while there! I am so glad I decided to tag along…
