W.M.S. and dustings and camp prep...

It was our pleasure last Tuesday to visit Jacksontown, NB and share with the ladies of the W.M.S. group from Jacksontown Baptist Church. It is always a blessing and encouragement to be with them; it is amazing to see the heart they have for mission and the work that they accomplish as a small group. It is humbling to see and be with them as they read letters from missionaries and pray together for the various needs around the globe.

This is always a busy time of year - and as we prepare the Center for our summer camp programs it was a huge blessing to have my mother and sister come for several days and help us with cleaning and sorting and organizing in the main lodge. I can't even imagine that we would have been able to get those things done at all without their help.

We are always grateful to have people come alongside and labour for the Lord here at Arrowhead. Time is getting short and I think we are ready in most respects for camp. Now a huge prayer request is for the Lord to bring those kids that he would have here with us. We are also hopeful to see a number of teens to go with us to Cape Breton this year! Please continue to keep ANBC in prayer as the summer rapidly descends...

the stuffs

I decided to get out of the office this week. Last week I spent catching up on a lot of office work. There is quite a bit to do (and still the list grows).

This week, Kevin and I spent the day cleaning out the shop and main lodge. The dumpster seems to fill too quickly, so when we were in town running camp errands we looked into the possibility of having a larger dumpster. The collection company (Alternate Waste Management) will provide us with a new dumpster (this one will actually have doors) that is twice as large, at no extra cost. We spent time this week doing some cleaning up outside as well, with the help of Mr. Cole our neighbour we burned a large pile of brush that has been accumulating for several years. A perfect winter task, we will likely need to have another fire before Spring arrives. Every year brings lots of windfall and in order to keep the property looking tidy we need to collect it and get rid of it.

We're still working on getting quotes for having an office renovation done at Arrowhead. Headquarters would like us to work out of the Center instead of our homes and as such has agreed to help us make a suitable workspace. Kevin and I are quite excited about having an office to share, it will certainly streamline a lot of our tasks.

It's a beautiful day here, the sun is shining and the fresh snow is glistening. I hope you have a wonderful day where ever you are!
