The Hot Hot North!

Hello faithful readers!

Yesterday we returned from our trip to Buffalo Narrows, Saskatchewan Canada. Now for those of you who don’t know, Buffalo Narrows is about a 6.5 hour drive north of Saskatoon, SK. That makes it over 4000km north of Mexico City. It may not be quite the farthest north we’ll be going in our travels, but it will be the farthest north that we’ll be going in Saskatchewan.

The irony is that there, over 4000km north of Mexico City, it was hotter than Mexico City was during the day. So that just goes to show the inconsistency of the planet’s weather!

Anyway, we always enjoy our visits to Shari’s old home town and always wish we had stayed longer. The people were as warm as the weather and we enjoyed their hospitality and the hospitality of the church, Buffalo Narrows Community Fellowship Church (but you can call it BNCFC).

On Sunday Shari shared with the children in the service, and we taught them how to sing Jesus Loves Me in Spanish (you all know it, don’t you?). I preached on how the apostle Paul evaluated churches.

On Monday night we shared about what the Lord is doing in Mexico during a Bible study. We had the chance to meet new people and spend some time with people who are on our Support Team. It was a very encouraging time!

When we returned to Prince Albert, Shari’s parents were housing some folks who had been evacuated due to a fire, so we stayed at some other friends’ for the night before returning to Wingers, from where I now write. And if this paragraph doesn’t contain some of the most awkward grammar and spelling you’ve ever seen, I’ll eat my semi-colon.

After seeing some more folks here in Prince Albert, we’re on to the more westerly towns of Central Saskatchewan, such as North Battleford and Turtleford. I’ll let you know how things go there!

God has really blessed us, and continues to give us strength and resources for each step. Please continue to pray about the financial situation – we’re cutting it SO close, it’s really a little discouraging at times. Pray that we’ll have the finances we need to complete this trip, but also equally important the money to pay the rent at the beginning of June and buy a few groceries when we return home.

The weather is still nice today, and we’re enjoying a bit of a slower paced afternoon before hitting the road again tomorrow. Hannah’s Grandpa and Grandma Winger were able to take part of the day off, so we’ve been enjoying their company as well! God is good.

Thanks for stopping by! Remember, you can always leave your comments at the end of each entry if you like.
