Here again

Hey! I know, it's been a very long time since the last entry, and I know, I haven't sent any email yet. problem: My laptop is not logging in properly, so my email programm is being weird. I'm very sorry about that. But what happened during the last few weeks: I spent a greta time here in Chilliwack, a time that really got me, I learned a lot and was deeply touched by these people and god. On monday 14th I moved to the next farm in Maple Ridge where a nice host family was waiting for me. Funny thing: their daughter has been in Neustadt on a student exchange two years ago. Isn't that crazy?! But anyways... I work with them, cleaning plants and transplanting. This was from 8.30 - 16.30. after that I didn't have anything to do really... they showed me around what was really nice, and I think they are lovely hosts for some wwofers. Problem with me: I was now used to having people around me from 6.30 - 22.30 or so. I made friends with the community in Chilliwack and I started to miss them as soon as I arrived on the other farm. Additional to that, I had found out that there are communities in Nelson (Rockies) and on Vancouver Island as well, which I have the opportunity to see. So on Thursday morning I told my host family that I would leave them again to see the communities.
Although I hadn't talked to my friends in Chilliwack, I knew I could come back everytime. So I called them on friday from Vancouver, explaining to them that I'd be there in a couple hours. And really I was! As soon as I arrived in Chilliwack and was back at their cafe, I knew I had made the right decision. For some people, journeys like mine might be to see as much as possible. For me, it is much more about relationships. So, I was welcomed as warmly as you could imagine (by the way, when I left them, I got the nicest Pancake breakfast you have ever seen!)- my bed in the old room was made, a Welcomebackstet full of home made cookies and fruit was waiting for me. The people here had missed me just as much as I did.
So yeah, I'm glad to be here. Since a lot of trips are going back and forth between Nelson and here, chances are good, that I can see the community over there for maybe a week. As well as I know that there are people going to the Island around July 1st, maybe.... we'll see.
I hope you're all doing really good, whereever you are!
Shalom
