Fantastic Fun with Friends

Last week two of our friends from Shediac - Keila and James Biddington - came up for the weekend! We had lots of fun! They came over on the shuttle on friday where we picked them up and took them skiing at Brookevale! It was their first time and by the end of the day they were literaly PROS!

On our way to the ski hill!!

Beautiful day for skiing!

Then on Saturday, Nadia and Jackson Burden came over and we had a baking/outdoor day! We enjoyed skidooing for a while until James suggested we have our own little bonfire back in the field! So we skidooed back to the field and made popcorn and enjoyed the fire on a cold day!

Waiting for "fire expert" James to get it started!

Winter Weekend Fun!

Two weekends ago we had our Young Peoples Thing. On Saturday there is a bunch of activities for the young folks outside, and then some indoor activities based on a spiritual aspect (this years: Getting to know our Awesome God). Then, on Sunday we have our all day meeting.

The weather was quite messy the night before so in the morning we were glad to see that the ice covered trees were the only ones showing any signs of the previous nights storm. 

Breakfast with the crew who was staying with us for the weekend 

We did skits in the gym after the outdoor events

After the gym activities there was food and singing at the community hall

Things to be Thankful for:

 

There are so many things in this life that we take for granted, today I decided to create a list of some of the many things we have to be thankful for, but we so often take for granted:

1. Family

2. Friends

  

3. Gods Word

 

5. A Home

  

6. A Free Country

  

7. A Promise of ETERNAL LIFE in HEAVEN!

  

Baptism!!!

There was a baptism for some of the Filipinos two weeks ago! So glad that the Lord brought them here and saved them!  It was amazing seeing them all get baptized and amazing seeing the great work God is doing!

There were 7 of our Filipino friends baptized unfortunately, I only have the videos for six of them!

Some of the Philipinos from Shediac came as well!

Fun with the Filipinos!!

We had the Filipinos for a sleepover and went skidooing!  We had lots of fun! After that we went to Pam and Andrew's for a surprise birthday party for Hannah!

Blessings from God

The last couple of weeks ago, dad started some special gosple meetings at the house of some of our friends in Shediac. There has been some major blessing there: two people got saved!!

One of the Filipinos that got saved and his girlfriend who is also saved

Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners~1 Timothy 1:15

The hymn sing afterwards: There was a lot of rejoicing going on!

Snow day!

Today was an outdoor day! We went outside and I took some pictures of Luke and Micheal skidooing:

Then Laura brought Grace and Bethany up for a visit on the skidoo and to play in Courtneys snow fort.
