Here's a fun picture of us outside of the church in Moose Jaw! We had a youth activity here and a VBS training session with them. It was really good. Daniel did most of it, then divided us up with all the kids to have them try to present the plan of salvation to us in a clear manner. It was very good for us and the kids. In fact we got the idea from Pastor Seiler when he did a VBS training session in our church. It is very effective.





Here we are with the youth from the church in Moose Jaw after our
youth activity!

Here we are playing Gold Rush!


Uh Oh Dan! You're gonna get caught! It kinda looks like he is trying to do an imaginary basketball move!

What a beautiful sunset. I love the sky in Canada. It's so big and so amazing to look at.

Working on a Roof!


Here's our latest work project! We were helping Pastor Duguay in Swift Current Saskatchewan. They are rebuilding a house that they bought. It's a pretty neat operation but a lot of work. They were needing to get their roof done so that they could stop dealing with buckets when it rains. We got a lot of it done though not all of it. Well, I should rephrase that, the rest of the team worked on the roof. I took pictures 'cause I was feeling pretty sick. Oh well, I got a lot read :-) The Lewis's came to help out and be with Sarah before we head for Calgary Alberta!

Sarah and Dan working hard on the roof.

Ian, Dan, Steve, and Sarah


Steve and Mr. Lewis catching some sun! It looks like Dan I know, but it is Mr. Lewis!


More of the roof!


The look from the top!

We had a day off and so we went to a park and were . . . well, to put it frankly we were idiots! Here is the course of our day!

Peek-a-boo!!

This was supposed to be like Kuszco and Patcha climbing the wall as you can see it didn't really work, but it was fun!

Mr. and Mrs. Lewis (Sarah's Parents). They are so awesome. They climbed all over the play ground with us and everything. It was a blast! Thanks for the fun day off!

The name of the park was Candy Cane Tree Park.


Steve is suddenly the Spittin Image of Buddah!

Here we are outside the legislation of Regina, Saskatchewan. It's very beautiful.

All but two of the Lewis family.

Steve and Sarah's brother Ian duking it out!

Me and Sarah!

I love spending time with my husband, but one of my favorite things to do is laugh with him! I love you Daniel!

Here's a video of my conquer of Daniel! Enjoy!

E3 travels

The E3 team all together in Canada!

Steve and Daniel doing one of the many work projects of the week with Pastor Ironstand

We saw a young cub enjoying a meal of dandelions. It was really cool. Dan and Steve both got out of the van to get closer (stupid boys) but the cub walked back into the woods!



Steve having fun playing in the sand! :-)

Pastor Warren Ironstand and His daughter Georgia! He is a part of the RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police). It was really fun working with him and his church family on the Reservation. It was a unique experience. They had a fair during the middle of the week and he had to stand there to represent the RCMP! He reminded me so much of my dad. He looked like him, talked like him, laughed like him, and even preaches like him. Wow, I missed you daddy!!

Daniel playing with the Quad. I admit, they were a blast! I'd never gone before.
One night that we were there just Daniel and I went on a really long quad ride and had a really fun time. It was really good alone time which we don't get very often.

Isn't God's rainbow such a sweet reminder of His power? Dan and I saw this on our quad ride. There was a double rainbow, but it was kinda hard to see. It's just so beautiful up here. God's handiwork is all around us pointing to an all powerful Creator!

I can't help but be amazed that God takes time for me.
He is faithful in every area of my life, even when I don't understand. Praise Him for His Sovereign Hand!

We are finally on tour! We've been busy doing a lot of things and seeing the hand of God at work in our lives which is exciting. If you'd like to be a part of our prayer letter mailing please e-mail me at Christas6@gmail.com.

Pontoon ride that didn't quite work at Milltown! Lots of fun
fellowship!

Two girls from Milltown!

Dan, Steve, Pastor Hargis, and Mr. Nutzhorn working on the building project for the foster kids!

Cassie and Orlando! Great kids at the home.

Steve teaching Sarah how to work the saw! :-) Pretty funny!



Dan and I are done taking care of Josh now. It is so sad. I've taken care of him for 5 years and I can't believe it's over. We went out for supper at the Sportsman's Grill and had a wonderful time. Thanks for giving me the privilege of watching him Judy. It has been fun to get to know you all. I love you guys and Dan and I look forward to keeping in touch with you.






Before we left Dan and I had Charise up for a visit. It was really fun. We had a hobo breakfast and even got talked to by the police. It was hilarious, they thought we were doing drugs when all we were doing was cooking bacon :-) What great memories right Charise?
