Our little girl

On a random note:

We were given tickets at the last minute to the Fundraising Auction at Muskoka Christian School (where we hold one of our Good News Clubs). We hadn't even known what we were actualyl going to until I looked at the tickets while we were driving there.

Neither of us had ever been to a real "live" auction, so found the whole thing quite fascinating. After a delicious dessert buffet with crazy fancy desserts (I guess the fact that it was held at a Resort had something to do with that!) we watched in fascination as people willingly bid on great items, paying prices we would only laugh at. I had noticed an adorable picture while viewing the items before, but didn't think David would be willing to bid on it. He bravely fought to get the picture for me at a reasonable rate...and was successful! We are now the proud owners of the first picture we have ever bought! It's called "The Tale of Peter Rabbit" also known as our first little girl. =] We were glad to be able to help support an excellent Christian school too!

72 KIDS????!!!!

Yesterday the 4th Easter Party was held at a public school in Orillia (Uptergrove). A club hadn't been held at this school for the last several years, so we didn't really expect that many kids. However....we ended up with 72 kids from grades 1-4 (out of a school of around 300 kids K-8!) David completely lost his voice for the rest of the day after the party, as that many kids can just about border craziness even with 8 adults. There was a stream of kids (10-20) that came back to ask me questions after the Bible lesson about the Road to Emmaus; questions from "How did Jesus come back to life?" to "What is the Bible?"

• Please pray that these kids will remember the truth they heard and will come to know and serve God!
• Please pray that we will be able to get a church to adopt the school so that a weekly club could be established next fall.
