Only in BC

Last night while we driving on the expressway heading to the border, we crossed over an inlet from the bay, and saw a seal...then I noticed at the same time, we were right in farm country :) Put it together; expressway, inlet from the bay, farms, barns , and a seal!?!?! How random...only in BC

The funniest part was the seal. It was just swiming and watching all the cars go by ;)

Waiting for snow..................

I was just talking to my Mum, and she was telling me that it was snowing at her house.

Since moving out West, I have longed for snow... and its not only me.

Nathan, Christopher and Melissa and their kids, and well, I'm sure that there are others

that are missing the snow :)

When Mum told me that it was snowing, I looked out the window and guess what I saw....

rain :( :( :( :(

So, because now I am all sad that it is not snowing here, and not even close to snowing,

I turned up my Christmas music...

and it just happened to be "I'm dreaming of a white Christmas!"

Perfect ;)

Praying for LOTS of snow when we go to my parents for Christmas!!!!

Charlie Brown Christmas

This clip from A Charlie Brown Christmas is one of my favorite Christmas memories...yes, I know early...but my last post made me think of it:)

I'll just post it again closer to Christmas!

it is that time of year...

Yesterday, I took Joshua to Wal-mart to look at all of the Christmas stuff!

The first thing I took him to see was all the outside blow-up decorations...thinking he would love them!??!

When I showed them to him, he kept saying "no no no!" and shaking his head no!?!?

He was rather NOT impressed with them.

I guess I will have some work to do on him :)

The poor boy doesn't even get what all the huge fuss is about yet.

He did love all the stuffed animals that sang Christmas songs!

Especially the Snoopy and Woodstock that played the piano!

I am sure by the time all of our decorations are up he will "get it!"

Should I do my own Christmas family pictures, or should we go get them done?

Joshua and I made his first Christmas decoration the other day... a paper chain! pictures to come :)

Missionaries to the First Nations of Koruna, Ontario

I just remembered the name of our other missionary family we had at our conference.

The Moier family - to the First Nations of Koruna, Ontario.

That they might hear...

We started our churches 2010 Missions Conference last night.

We were privileged to have 3 missionary families join us.

We were actually only planning on having one single missionary to the Philippines,

but the Lord led two other families our way in the last week.

Our missionaries this week are:

Frank Danisi to the Philippines,

Harris family to Peru,

and another family...oops, I can't remember their name :( sorry.

We also have Pastor and Mrs. Bane, from Ohio, as our guest speaker.

We started out with Wednesday night prayer meeting just praying for all our missionaries for the whole night.

Friday night we had our first service.

Today, Saturday, we had our delicious international banquet,

and a fun game of "Missionary Jepordy!" It was a lot of fun!!

Tomorrow we close out our missions conference with a final message and our Faith Promise commitments for this year.

As of tonight, we are only $600 away from making and possibly going over our

commitment of $50,000!!!

Praying that the Lord will use our church to raise more for world wide missions.

We currently support 20 missionary families, just about to add on a couple more!

Praise the Lord for His goodness!

Im back...

Hello again....

I know, I know, it has been FOREVER since I have been on here. Yes, that was a Christmas countdown that you saw :) We have been working on our Christmas cantata everyday for our church and looking at ticket prices to fly home for Christmas...so Christmas has been on my mind a bit early this year. At least I am not as bad as some others. For my birthday Nathan took me out to eat, and on the way home I noticed a house that had their Christmas tree up already! Even I thought that was early!!

Be back soon, promise...
