First Summer Home-Sept 2008

“I am the Lord, the God of all mankind. Is anything too hard for me.” Jeremiah 32:27

“Mom, stop!” exclaimed Rebekah as we both had the same urge to roll down the car windows as we breathed in the fresh scent of the yellow canola fields while snapping photos. Both of us were on memory lane. Canada is so green and so beautiful.


Jessica, Aly, Papa (Rod), Madyson and Caleb

This trip to Canada was our first in four years that we as a family were able to return during the summer. Rod, Rebekah and I traveled through the Rocky Mountains to get to Burns Lake were our daughter and her family live. We were able to meet our newest granddaughter Madyson as well as play in parks, swam in a pool, have great playtimes including lots of loven and laughter. We ended the trip with a visit to the circus which included and elephant ride for Rebekah and Caleb. What an amazing vacation!


Mom caring for dad 11 days after her own surgery

Both my parents went through surgery 10 days apart. We are so thankful to have had the opportunity to have been with my parents at their time of need. Our airlines tickets were purchased in January. Coincidence, I don’t think so. Nothing is too hard for Our God!

While we were in Canada, ministry continued on. Rod returned to his position of Director of Outreaches after his one week visit with family while Rebekah and I remained behind caring for my parents and visiting other family members and friends.

This year alone there were 979 people that accepted the truth that they needed to know this Jesus that the youth groups that come to Mexico speak of. Feel free to check out this web site and hear for yourself the response of Woodland Bible Church and their week of ministry in Mexico. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OIEl0ROQtr4
