Bible Clubs, Passports and Boxes

A huge answer to prayer! I received my elusive birth certificate in the mail today, and immediately jetted off to Fredericton to apply for my passport. It will be ready for me to pick up on Friday morning at 10 am on our way to the border. Praise the Lord! We won't need to miss any of the missions conference. We're very much looking forward to reconnecting with some new friends and old!

This has been a full week for sure! Monday evening we took advantage of the opportunity to go to Oromocto to share in the ministry of Carroll and Cathy Hill at a Bible Club. It was really nice to see some of the kids from camp and spend some time with them. We will enjoy periodically going to Oromocto, as time permits, to help the Hills out with the club there.

On Tuesday we traveled to the elementary school in St. Mary's to assist Venus Coté with the Bible club she runs there. It was exciting to be able to be a part of that ministry for the evening as well.

We're still doing battle with the boxes, but now that we have a shed in the yard it has improved our box situation immensely. We'll get back at the unpacking when we return home!

Tonight Deanna had a planning meeting for the upcoming discipleship retreat. She has planned a weekend retreat in November for some campers who made professions of faith this summer. It is an opportunity for some discipleship and follow-up. We will be assisting her however we can, this event is a part of her internship requirements.

Tomorrow we will be preparing to travel early on Friday morning. We were able to find a kennel locally here in Chipman for the dog, and with the paperwork all under control, we're all ready to go but for the packing. Stay tuned for updates from the missions conference, we received our itinerary in the mail today and it looks like it's going to be an exciting few days!
