Random Summer Memories

We motorbiked to Alouette lake, canoed across and found our own private beach. Swimming and a BBQ ensued.

Does that car look familiar? Though it may sound scary and crazy, it is pretty fun to rip around the bush, crash into other cars and go where no car dares to go with my old totalled car.
Picking blueberries at the very end of the season - it took us over an hour to pick 5lbs!

The twins getting bigger and bigger. We babysit them every sunday from 9:00-2:00 which has proven to be fun for us and a nice break for their mom. Notice the red cubboards at the clinic. We moved into a new clinic this summer after hours and days of renovations. Though moving again was unappealing to me it is nice to have our own space!

Mount Cheam

Sarah, Aron, Jabin and Tianna visited from Fredricton NB this august. We climbed Mount Cheam in Chilliwack on one of the most beautiful days of the year - it didn't even rain! I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.

Tianna stuffed in my backpacking pack. The sleeping bag we used as stuffing sure helped to keep us warm at the top!

Tuckered out after a day of hiking!

Josh Groban Concert

On August 17, we had the privilege of going to the Josh Groban concert with the Folkerts family. Justin and Josh came all the way from Smithers! The music and the entire evening was incredible!

Have you seen three siblings with more different hair?

Shannon even got to go backstage!

Farewell Africa

My computer has been in the shop for the last 7 wks and so I apologize for not keeping this more updated. Before I launch into the happenings of the rest of my summer I want to close off my Africa trip.
Africa was an incredible experiance, one that I learned a lot from and would not trade for anything.

This is what I learned.....

Sometimes we look way to far to minister to people. We don't need to cross oceans, we just need to look in our own homes or over the neighbors fence to discover people who need healing.

By leaving this country - I would leave a big hole in the lives of my family and friends and I don't want to do that. My passion and my people are here in Canada and this is where I'm called to be a missionary.

Welcome Home!
