This week Liz and I have a special guest with us. Roan Elford is chief financial officer of NCEM, and has come to stay with us for the week as he installs a brand new water system at Arrowhead. He has had extensive experience with water system installation and maintenance at KBI, NCEM's Bible Institute in Lac La Biche, Alberta.

Throughout this week I'll give Roan as much of a hand as I am able as he installs a reverse osmosis and air induction system in our main lodge. This will service our lodge, office and two of our large cabins with potable water while clearing up our salt problems in both wells. I'll try to post pictures here each day to show our progress.

Today we were in Fredericton to pick up the system and all of our necessary supplies. Due to a misunderstanding with one of our suppliers we will need to scoot back into town in the morning for the rest of the load before we can begin.

Today was a plotting and planning day.

We cleaned up the space in our utility room today in preparation for the new equipment.

Spinning our wheels...

NCEM is hosting a week of meetings in Lac La Biche at KBI for missionaries from across the country. Kevin, Venus, Liz and I were scheduled to fly out of Moncton tomorrow morning at 7:25am. As of this morning that flight was canceled. We rescheduled our flight for tomorrow night at 8:40 to arrive in Edmonton at 1:00am local time.

This afternoon it began to snow, but suppertime we had about a foot of snow down. And the blizzard is scheduled to start about midnight. We still have our power for now! But to complicate things, the alternator seems to have quit in the ANBC truck, so we are now stranded without transport to the airport. In the morning I will need to plow and we will try to find a drive to the airport in time to catch our flight... there certainly seem to have been a lot of obstacles to this journey.

Please keep us in prayer as we try to get ourselves to the West for these meetings. We are scheduled for several days of camp meetings at headquarters as well, which will be quite valuable, providing we get there.
