Tomorrow is move day

So, tomorrow is move day. Where I (Lee) pick up all the furniture that is being moved into the IMPACT houses. It's also the day where I get all the keys for all the houses. The staff will be moving furniture, washing donated dishes, cleaning future IMPACTer homes, tomorrow is a day of service. If you are free come out and give us a hand. You know where to find us...

Emergency

So yesterday was very windy in Ottawa. There was actually a wind warning in effect. urlm.in/hpxt
I know this not only because of the news. CHECK THIS OUT!

In the house we heard a large bang after a big gust outside. Some of the girls ran upstairs where the bang came from. BROKEN WINDOW

Scary!!!

Our landlord came yesterday to look at it. Today he pulled out all the broken glass and measured the window to put in a new one. But there is still broken glass everywhere.


GLORY!

Today has been a wonderful day. So many blessings from God.

Jasmine Bean came to the house to organize our kitchen donations. Now everything is separated and sorted. Ready for inventory.

We were able to procure a cube van on the busiest moving day of the year: May 1st. which means all our donations of furniture can be picked up now and dropped of with ease.

The Ottawa region purchased a projector, which IMPACT will get to break-in this summer.

So many things to be grateful for. Registration day is coming and I feel prepared.

Featuring...

Special appearance number 2. Mr. Chris O'Hara. Chris is a student from Dalhousie University in Halifax.

 Chris came to visit before going out to find a job. He also sent me (Lee) a text that read "Outside the world exchange plaza downtown there is a plaque commemorating Leonard Lee, business person of the year 1998." Such a joker. I hope he found a job.

Chris is one of 57 IMPACTERS, young men and women who are coming to Ottawa this summer. They will be working in Ottawa as well, they will be receiving training as missionaries, planning events in the archdiocese of Ottawa and volunteering in parishes.
Anymore questions? Ask Chris in person Friday, May 6 · 7:00pm - 10:00pm at the Impact Commissioning Mass.

EASTER Tuesday

One week since my last BLOG entry. A lot can happen in a week. Like the passion, death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. Easter was so beautiful. The IMPACT staff journeyed together through the Triduum. Alleluia. He is risen.

The staff house is all set up and it was blessed yesterday by Archbishop Prendergast.


Man...lucky. Have you ever had a bishop, let alone an archbishop bless your house, room and guitar. I didn't think so.

Keep posted, posts will be increasing in frequency.
