Penticton is a town of about 50,000 people in the Okanogan Valley situated 260 miles East of Vancouver. The area is known as the "breadbasket" of British Columbia. We are told there are numerous wine-tasting events in the Okanogan Valley during the month of October but it is not anticipated Gretchen and her new companion will be engaging in many of those activities, though Gretchen reminded us there are a lot of stories in the Bible about vineyards!
Here are some pictures of Gretchen before she left scenic Vancouver Islands. A potential title for each is as follows: 1) Finding Margaret Thatcher; 2) Supermissionary; 3) Missionaries on the Beach; 4) A Bunch of Missionaries on the Beach; and 5) Testing a New Missionary Vehicle
