this just in...

There has been a change of plans with respect to P.A.T.H. training.

The training had initially been slated to be held at the Minahik Wasau Center in Timber Bay, Saskatchewan. On Friday we received a phone call from Dan Woodard, the director of P.A.T.H. training. He was calling to inform us that the venue had changed from Minahik Wasau to the Nipawin Bible College in Nipawin Saskatchewan. There were some concerns with the dining facility that prevented P.A.T.H. leadership from operating efficiently at the original venue.

Our travel plans are not impacted as we will still be flying into Saskatoon on Thursday. The kind folks at NCEM headquarters are sending the mission van and a trailer to meet us at the "Toon" airport. We will spend Friday at mission headquarters and doing some shopping for necessities in Prince Albert. Since we will be there for eight weeks, we are going to pick up toiletries, snacks and other necessities after we get there. This will reduce our luggage compliment. Pat Elford, the candidate coordinator at NCEM headquarters has arranged for us to borrow sheets, towels and facecloths as well, which is a huge help with respect to packing and travel!

Today, our field directors, Len and Lorrayne Breen are arriving. They will be holding down the fort for the majority of time we're away. We are excited to see them! We're all going to the Strout's for a BBQ tonight! It'll be fun to spend the week with them before we go.
