Cochrane, Ontario
We’re enjoying the people in the French/English town of Cochrane, Ontario at the moment! On Sunday I shared about Mexico and preached in the service at the First Baptist Church, and since then we’ve been able to spend a little time with people here, talking and laughing and wading and praying and eating and four-wheeling (it was Hannah and Nathanael who did the four wheeling. I think they’re hooked!). 😉
Our previous visits to Cochrane have been pretty brief, so it’s great to have the time to do more than just say "Hi" (of course, this is too short too, but it always will be until Eternity!).
We’ve thought a lot about our friends in Cochrane while we’ve been in Mexico, and we’ve prayed for them, so it’s great to see what’s happening here in person.
We even talked to some people who want to come down to Mexico both short term and long term, and that’s exciting!
We’re looking forward to spending some more time with some people in town today. In between times we have lots of work to get done, including getting ready for our train trip tomorrow to Moosonee, where we’ll be until Monday.
Our van takes a drive in Cochrane, Ontario.
Like much of Ontario, Cochrane has been pretty rainy lately.

Yes, I’ve been watching what’s been happening weather-wise up there. But how wonderful that you’ve been able to spend more time with these folks. And that the Mexican people are on their hearts too. Sounds like you may even see some of them IN Mexico in the future.
So Hannah & Nathanael enjoyed four-wheeling! We have neighbour kids whose father takes them on for rides sometimes.

This is actually a test. I’ve set up the comment posting differently on my Wordwise Hymns blog and wanted to see what it looked like. For one thing, I see (at least from here) that my picture has popped into Mom’s previous message. Interesting! Perhaps ironic that the hymn I’m commenting on today is “Sometime We’ll Understand”!
Oh-oh! Hannah and Nathanael loose on a four-wheeler! Keep those helmets buckled on. Grandma and Grandpa want you all to keep safe.
God bless.
