This weekend we’re in Moosonee, and we look forward to reconnecting with friends there!
If you’d like to see us, Lord willing we’ll be sharing at the Moosonee Community Church Sunday morning (11am), and then again in the evening (8:30pm).
We’re so thankful that the Lord has provided us the opportunity to see so many of you in person!
Ten years ago today – we were on the Polar Bear Express, on our way to visit friends in Moosonee! In this picture from our train ride, I was playing ¿Adivina Quién? (Guess Who?) with Hannah and Nathanael as we travelled north…
We really miss all our friends in Moosonee – I hope we can visit again soon! Meanwhile, our door is open if you would like to visit us in Mexico! 🙂
So head on over to our Recent Shots… album to see the latest.
By the way, if you don’t see a picture of you in there, and you think we might have taken one, it’s probably because the picture(s) didn’t turn out. It’s not because we don’t like you.
I’ve got some video too, but I’ll probably post that later here at Finding direction.
We’re still in New York state, and will give you an update when we know more about our schedule for the rest of the trip.
Note: the image above is of Hannah in a boat taxi near Moosonee, Ontario.
Hi everyone! I haven’t had a lot of computer time lately, and that situation is probably going to continue at least for a couple of weeks. But I wanted to at least stop by and give you a quick update to let you know what’s going on.
 Hannah and Nathanael picked blueberries in Sudbury. Yum. |
I think I talked to you last from the train from Moosonee to Cochrane. Well, we had a good but brief visit with some friends in Cochrane, then we headed south to Sudbury and Peterborough.
We enjoyed reconnecting with friends in both places, and had lots of fun times too – I’ll try to get some pictures and video up later. On Sunday we shared at Lansing Avenue Baptist Chapel in Sudbury. We’re thankful for these churches and individuals who have such a big part in the ministry in Mexico.
So now we’re in Mount Forest, and will be all over southern Ontario over the next little while. Starting on Saturday, though, we’re looking forward to a much needed week of holidays before diving back into ministry again.
So, that’s the short story! Everyone’s health is better – you may remember that the kids had a little 24 hour flu or something back in Moosonee, and they’ve had a bit of an ongoing cough, but they’re a lot better overall. I still have a nasty cough, but I think I turned the corner toward better health on Sunday.
So God has been good, and it’s been great telling people a little about what He’s doing in Mexico!
Now I’ve got some errands to do so I’d better run. Talk to you later!
This is just a collection of video clips of some fun things that we did while we were in northern Ontario. Don’t miss the beautiful scenery. 🙂
Thanks to all the old friends and new who have made our visit to Ontario so great so far!
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!
