Summer Plans

This summer we decided to stay in lovely Saskatoon. I hope that means we get to see family more (more than if we were in Vegas anyway). Royall is going to keep working at the SPCA and the GAP, and I am going to be helping a professor here at the university with his research. OH YEAH, Royall is bringing home a baby kitty for us to foster on monday. We'll just have it for two weeks until it gains enough weight to be adopted by a lucky family. We'll put some pictures up.
This is the research I'll be helping with:



Approximately 1,700 tonnes of elemental sulphur (S 0 ) per day are produced by Syncrude Canada (SCL) as a by-product of bitumen refining. Molten S 0 (shown here) is poured into blocks for long-term storage at SCLs Fort McMurray operation. Professor M. Jim Hendry, colleagues in other colleges, government agencies, and graduate students are studying oxidation rates of S 0 to sulphuric acid within the blocks, migration of the sulphuric acid through the blocks, and its impact on the underlying geologic media. This three-year research program is jointly funded by SCL and NSERC.

Sounds like fun!

Mission pictures

I didn't bring my camera to school today to post saskatoon pictures so I thought I'd put some pictures I found of things in the Hiroshima area of Japan. The first picture is a picture of the Himeji castle which is the biggest castle in Japan. I never got to go inside it just close to it. This next pictures are right in downtown Hiroshima. The beat up building was one of the only buildings left standing after the bomb so the kept it like it was at the time of the bomb and made a park around it called "peace park". The last picture is the Hiroshima mission home. Hiroshima was my last area and this is where we would have church eveyweek. I hope you enjoy the pictures.
