Fall is Upon Us!

As we traveled north to visit Sainte Marie Among the Hurons, I tried to capture some of the fall colors zooming by.  This is the result:

We traveled with the 7th & 8th students to Sainte Marie Among the Hurons.

You can check it out here.

and I posted a new album with the pictures we took on our website. For some reason though, the slideshow doesn’t work, so you’ll just have to look at them one at a time. While that was fun and historical, something better and more eventful is occurring this Friday – see the update. Another tribal group is going to hear the gospel for the first time.  We are praying for many new brothers and sisters in Christ!

This is the reason we were willing to leave our friends and family and move to Canada (or Indonesia): to be a part of getting the Good News of Jesus Christ to tribal people, who do not have a chance to hear and decide for themselves … UNLESS….?!?! someone like you or me decides to go and tell them.

Currently we have 22 students going through the training. There are 21 students in the Academy where I teach. 6 of them have parents in the training, the rest are staff kids.  I get to have them all in drama, which is great!  Yesterday ended the intramural soccer season.  Here are the participants with their Prize Pops! Red – 1st, Blue – 2nd, Green – 3rd.

Elijah tried out for the football team and made it!  Football is not as popular as Rugby up here, but 52 kids tried out and 36 were chosen.  They have their first game on Friday and he might even get to play, as apparently 15 kids did not show up for practice yesterday.  He hurt his knee and wanted to make sure it was broken, so Roland took him to Niagara to get xrayed….since our insurance would cover it. Thankfully he is just sore and will be until November no doubt!      Girls and I have been busy canning and making salsa & applesauce.  Friday we get to go pick plums and apples.  A farmer friend of ours gave us a bunch of meat, so we have bacon, roast, burger, and pork chops to last into the winter.  Another friend has been supplying honey!  We are well taken care of.

Roland has plenty of projects and work for the future.  He is glad to know the other IT guy will be returning from a visit back to his home country at the end of October!  Roland makes himself available to help with everyone’s personal needs, as well as helping with the biggest current project:  the remodeling of the main office.  Here are some photos of things he is dealing with.  Please don’t ask me to explain them!  All I know is that there are 38 wires and only 24 slots so more slots are needed.  This year money is tight for projects, so although there is a need….trusting God to take care of things like He always does!

Thank You for following what God is doing with NTM and us!  Let us know what’s going on with you!

oh by the way…my husband is a genius, and we had internet IN THE CAR on the way to our field trip.  Technology is amazing.  I had a computer, phone, magic jack & invertor to plug them all into!
