Reclining in the comfortable chair in the airplane, while heading back to Canada, brought back many memories of a busy summer. Eyes closed and mind on shut down created an atmosphere to rest and relax before a new busyness would begin when landing in Canada. There were grand babies, family and friends to visit as well as a flurry of other activities.
Jessica, Ryan, Caleb and Aly were awaiting my visit. Aly, now 15 months old has developed a wonderful personality that could capture any heart. I was so proud of Caleb, he has adapted well to being the protective big brother. The days slipped by very quickly. Berry picking with Jessica, Caleb and Aly was a highlight of the visit. Imagine the combination of fresh berry pie and grand baby hugs.
Sharlene (Canadian YUGO missionary from Mexico) joined me with family activities before we headed to Calgary for her surgery. She was even able to attend a Hebert family reunion (my mom's side of the family). We had a blast. Thanks for your many prayers for Sharlene as she successfully went through hip surgery and has returned to Mexico. Thanks Al and Evelyn for driving and helping set up accommodations before and after surgery.
While in Canada I had the opportunity to attend a YUGO Canada board meeting. Much business was accomplished as our board members went to the table. What a blessing to have these godly people stand behind us in prayer and make decisions that will enhance the ministry of YUGO Canada.
Rod and Rebekah stayed busy while I was away in Canada. Rebekah turned into quite a cook for her dad in my absence. Rod joined other YUGO staff in a medical clinic that was held at Calvary Chapel Rosarito. Many from the church and near by neighborhood took advantage of the free medical help and prayer. If you know of a doctor or a nurse that would like to get involved in reaching out to those that are in need of medical or dental attention feel free to contact us and we will connect you with our YUGO missionaries, Al & Barb that head up the medical clinics. To the left is a picture of the inside or part of the mobile medical clinic. Barb and Doctor Martin have had many patients.
I barely got home from Canada when Beryl and Fred from Alberta, Canada joined us in Mexico to see what ministry opportunities could be found through YUGO Ministries. We gave them a whirlwind tour of some of the ministries that our missionaries are involved in. We even had a potluck dinner so they could talk to other missionaries in different areas of ministry. It was great to see everyone after being away in Canada. The picture above is Fred & Beryl standing next to Al & Barb in front of the mobile medical clinic called Jehovah Rafa (God the healer).
