Retro: Early Snow
Ten years ago today – we were in our apartment in Calgary, and were treated to an early snow!

The Brubachers at Conference
We returned to Ixtapaluca today! The conference went well. I wanted to throw up a few pictures of the Brubachers doing their music (eventually I’ll get some HD versions up).
Also, you may be interested to know that the family is blogging over at Facebook – so you can see better pictures (though not as much of them!) and their insights there. It’s on their church Facebook page, so just scroll down until you see the image (there are posts for each day so far, so just keep scrolling down for each day). Click the image below to visit:
Last 90 Days Most Popular Posts (30 September 2015)
It’s been quite a three months, I must say! Here are the most popular posts, most recent last, with the three most popular posts of all in bold.
The Brubacher Family Is Here in Mexico!
Today I went to the airport, and picked up the Brubacher Family, from Hamilton, Ontario. It’s great to have them here!
Then when we get back, they’ll be involved in music on Sunday morning, and will be teaching lots of classes and doing lots of outreach. We’re looking forward to some fun times!
Answered Prayers are Prayed Prayers
It’s amazing what happens when you pray specifically and strategically. When God answers, you actually notice.
When you pray things like “God bless George”, how will you know if it’s answered?
Anyway, I’m thanking the Lord for His specific blessings over the past week.
We have been really encouraged to see what’s happening at the community centre. In an answer to prayer, people came to my Bible study, where we solved five “Bible mysteries” and got ready for the series which will be starting next week.
The English classes have had students, but mine has been sparse. However, we brought along a neighbour, who learned some words and had a fun time.
And another reason to thank the Lord – another answer to prayer – this week’s baking class! Check out all these people:
On Saturday, I was at a church leadership meeting. It was well attended – and it was so encouraging to see people concerned about evangelism, discipleship, practical needs in the congregation and beyond – things that I think Jesus would be concerned about. We’re preparing for some exciting stuff in the months ahead – may God continue to answer prayer!
This morning we enjoyed a full service, contemplating our Lord, love for His people, and His return.
So often I put up with things that I really should just pray about. God is the one who can transform hearts and make things move in a way we never could!
Thanks to all of you who are praying as well – see? God is answering!
