Good Canadian Friends!

Here we are in a restaurant eating our supper, before going to a fiddler's concert again, with our good friends, Colleen and Art. In fact, they are Shauna's parents! We kind of celebrated our two anniversaries since they are exactly one month apart. We have a few more years behind us then they do but who cares about that! We had a really good time as we shared our joys and concerns about our children and grandchildren with each other. The best part is we both gave our children and grandchildren to God to use as His instruments.

These good friends are Arnold and Dorothy. We first got to know them 33 years ago! And now we found them camping right across from us! 33 years ago a group of us from our church went to Saskatchewan to help fix up the church for a congregation of Cree Indians. Arnold and Dorothy were the missionaries there at that time. We had a good time reminiscing with them. We had at least eight campers set up in their yard! We ate all our meals in their garage. We painted the outside of the church, built walls for classrooms in the basement, put up a cross on the top of the church, mended some bad roof shingles, held Bible School for the Indian kids as well as our own kids each day, and had services in the evenings. Arnold said we'll never know what that meant to the native people who lived there and to them as missionaries. Thank you, Lord, for opportunities that You bring our way. May we always be ready and willing to obey You and serve You as You put needs before us.

Meet Jeff and Arrow! Jeff is an artist and makes beautiful pottery. He was also the camp photographer and could always be seen with his camera at any and all action scenes. One morning as I was watching the sun rise I saw Arrow running around, then I saw Jeff setting up his camera to take pictures of the sun rise. He was making a movie of all the different activities, people, nature; you name it, he was there with his camera. The movie will be shown all over the conference and will be a good advertisement for family camp.
