Webcam with Our Niece!
 |
Yesterday we had the chance to "meet" our niece Karina via webcam! She was obviously quite thrilled by the opportunity, and even talked to us for a while. Sounds like she’s doing well, and growing fast!
Karina currently lives with her parents in New York State. Be sure to check out their family website here!
We enjoyed time as a family and with the family of God over the weekend. I was able to play keyboard in the service for the first time since we got back, and after the service there was a little party for those who have birthdays in October. Such as Shari! Always a good reason for more cake…

What we’re doing (now that we’re back)
An update on what we’ve been doing and what’s coming up now that we’re back from our trip…
A Boat with Three Captains (video)
And today for Ontario Week we also have a video feature. 🙂 We got to take a trip out onto Wanapitei Lake (about a half hour north of Sudbury, Ontario) with our friend Rick Kolari this summer. And guess what? The boat had three captains! Check it out…
Southern Ontario Update (Condensed Version)
Between a very packed schedule and very little time with internet access, I’m afraid I haven’t had a lot of time to update you. I have a feeling we’ll have to be doing some trip reviews once we get back to Mexico … sometime … ! 😉
Anyway, I’m going to have to give you the very condensed version at the moment, because I’m in a rush to get out the door.
We’ve spent a lot of time visiting people here in southern Ontario, which has been great. We also had a week of holidays at Fair Havens, which was a great time as a family (highly recommended, by the way, if you’re in the area).
We enjoyed a very encouraging Sunday at Garside Bible Church, where I shared about Mexico and preached. Always wish we could come more often and stay longer. 🙂
At the moment we’re zipping around Lake Ontario – north of it, south of it, and over to the west in Kitchener/Waterloo. That’s more or less what we’ll be doing until we leave Ontario on September 2nd.
If you still want to catch us on a Sunday, we’ll be at Heise Hill Brethren in Christ Church this coming Sunday (the 30th). We’ll be sharing about Mexico and singing, and I’ll be doing the Maximizing Your Short Term Mission Trip seminar in the evening (6-8pm). Feel free to call the church for details. It will be great to be back at Heise Hill.
Gotta run for now! See you soon. 🙂
