Hello everyone, iNFUSE Team One here,
For the first blog I have decided to talk about our first few days in the awesome city of Yellowknife! After all of the plane switching and plane rides we made it to Yellowknife with no problems at all. Once we arrived we received a very warm welcome from Fr. Ben, Susan, Gerry and some other members of the incredible staff at the Diocesan Centre. We spent most of the first day getting to know our office, parish, and some of the people we will be working with this year which was very fun!
A few days later we were welcomed by James, Christine, and Phoepe, though some call it - pranked. They decided to welcome the new NET team with dish soap on our van, which was
forgotten after they fed us some fantastic spring rolls. James, Christine, and Phoepe are just some of the amazing youth in Yellowknife. We were privileged to visit all three schools, and meet a ton of the youth! It has been a blast laughing and simply getting to know them. The ladies of St. Patrick’s CWL also welcome us on Saturday night with a delicious pasta dinner and cake (insert picture). We spent the rest of the night just talking, laughing, sharing stories, and getting to know the incredible people of Yellowknife.
Another cool thing I just have to mention is that for the first couple of weeks the whole team was privileged to stay in the same host home! Our host family is amazing, they are extremely hospitable, loving and just down right amazing! Our host mom would say “We’re nothing to write home about” but I beg to differ. I have to say we are truly blessed to be place in such a welcoming community. We are ecstatic to be here and can’t wait for what’s to comes. Well that’s it for now, but keep your eyes out for our next blog. We are sure to have even more amazing stories to share with you next time!
So for now, farewell and God bless!
