Moosonee … and turning South!

This evening we took the second turn of our trip – the turn south!  We’ve gone as far north as we’re going to be in Ontario, now we’re going to be moving south (generally speaking) until eventually we arrive back home in Ixtapaluca.  🙂

A street in Moosonee, Ontario

We really enjoyed our time in Moosonee.  We didn’t get to spend as much time with people as we would have liked – some were away, which is the way things are in the summer.  But we really enjoyed visiting with a lot of old friends and new friends.

Another reason we didn’t spend as much time with people as we would have liked was because three of us spent some time sick.  Hannah and Nathanael had fevers – thankfully only a 24 hour thing, but it hit them hard at the time.

And me, I’ve been sick too.  "Just" a nasty cold in my case, and some pain issues, so I was thankful to have some time to rest.

But it wasn’t all rest!  For example, we got to eat with various people and hang out with them.  The Carter family generously let us crash their campsite on Saturday at Tidewater Provincial Park (locally called Charles Island).  The Clarks generously paid for a little excursion to take the boat to Moose Factory, where we saw some of the sites and enjoyed some fresh bannock.

Sunday was when the kids were sick, so Shari sadly missed the activities.  But I got to share in Sunday school in the morning and talk about Mexico and preach in the evening (and my voice held out!) (barely!).

As I write we’re on the train, the Polar Bear Express, heading back south to Cochrane.  Tomorrow we’ll Lord willing get to spend a little more time with some friends there, before heading to Sudbury tomorrow.  We’ll be travelling around between Sudbury and Peterborough and places in between this week, ending up in Sudbury on the weekend to spend some time with friends there.  Should be a fun week!
