You know you're not in Canada when . . .
Posted on October 18, 2010 by Pastor Tom
You know you’re not in Canada when . . .
1) You’re completely soaked in sweat . . in October.
2) Ants crawl across the floor of your living quarters and you get used to it.
3) You leave an empty juice glass on the counter and return later to find it crawling with ants.
4) Your dishes are kept inside a plastic storage bin to keep the ants out.
5) People stare at you on the street because you have white skin.
6) A mosquito net is available in one of your wardrobe drawers.
7) You only have cold water for your shower – and you don’t mind!
8) Lizards crawl on the walls while you teach.
9) Strangers treat you with respect, not suspicion, when they find out you’re a pastor.
10) You can’t find a reference to hockey anywhere in the papers.

Rather ants than spiders or cockroaches or other yucky creepy crawlies. Lori sure wouldn’t do well their. She may not want to come with you next time if there is a next time.

ants do not carry disease, flies do, and mosquitoes can actually kill you, so please use the nets (and patch the holes).
The church is excited about your ministry! Many are praying.
