another weekend


Not too much to report this time. School continues to roll along. I'm getting to know the students a little better but not well enough to assess their progress well. I got out for a jog on Saturday, but the weather wasn't great today. I did go to church with Margaret and Fraser this morning. This is a Catholic community and there is a full time priest in the hamlet. The church itself is quite impressive with beautiful Inuit artistry around the altar. I'll try to get a picture to post. Most of the service was in Inuktitut but the priest did repeat some things in English our benefit. He is an interesting guy. He is Polish. His second language is Inuktitut and English is his third language. I am getting to understand a little bit of the Inuktitut, and can guess what part of the mass is being said most of the time, but I still have a long way to go.

'James of the North', no wonder I couldn't track you down in the Parry Sound area. Say hello to Margaret for me and send me an email at rwbennett@netzero.com when you get a chance. Great photos, I'll be looking forward to seeing more.
