What's ahead?

In case you're wondering about things to pray about here's a few:

• David's preaching at Port Sydney Bible Chapel March 29 and we're doing music
• Weekly Good News Clubs that began in Utterson and Minden: one is mainly churched kids while the other is about 50/50
• Two more Easter Parties in Orillia
• Planning for Summer Ministry in the "north"- recruiting teens to do ministry and scheduling churches or invidiuals wanting to hold an outreach to kid's in their area through a VBS (at a church for 3 hours to a whole day) or 5-Day Club (at a home for 1 1/2 hours)
• Health and Safety for David's sister, Melissa in Guyana and direction from God

Ministry to Kids

Over March Break we had the joy of seeing 15 different kids come out over 3 days for the "Rescue 9-1-1" event. We had a blast and it seemed the kids had almost as much fun as we did. =] David "the magician" did a few tricks each day relating to the lesson.

The picture shows him doing one of his current favourites "try to copy me to make a knot in the rope without letting go." It's a great illustration of our need to rely on God.

We also went to Cannington Baptist on Friday to play floor hockey with kids and share the Gospel. We will return there in April for the AWANA Awards Sunday. It was exciting to see the outreach that the church has, even in a community where you wouldn't expect a lot of kids to be hanging around.

Jayda the Horse

We were able to visit David's sister, Leanne's horse a few weeks ago. Leanne is in the process of breaking this huge Clydesdale in...Jayda (the horse) is still supposed to grow more. She's going to be HUGE! Leanne sat on her for the first time that day and then let me sit on her and "ponied" me around! It was fun!!!

Even more exciting was that we were able to wish Leanne and Daniel congratulations on their engagement that weekend! It seems that the Guyatt family has a thing for marrying their siblings' friends (as in I married Melissa's brother and Leanne is marrying David's friend.) At least we know we all get along this way. =]

Mouse in the House

They say every new home owner must have their first experience with a mouse in the house. While we are only renting right now, the mice decided to train us in a bit.

My Super-Brave-Hero-Wonderperson, David, rescued me (and our dishes, canned food and everything else in our bottom cupboards) from the nasty little varmints that decided to leave their trail everywhere. After he caught 2 mice, we had the privilege of removing everything from our cupboards and washing it down. (Not the choice way of spending a Sunday evening, but a necessity.)

I guess this should cure me for a bit of longing to be back in Burkina Faso, Africa (except it would be lizards there) or with David's sister, Melissa, in Guyana, South America (with mice and frogs).
