August 12th through the 15th we celebrated God's goodness with a group of people who love God and the people they want to share Him with. We were blessed to spend time with our InterAct family here in Canada. We were in Pincher Creek, Alberta, at the Gladstone Gathering Grounds. While there we had some refreshing time in the Word led by a paster at one of our missionaries home churches. We talked of some of the keys to discipleship and how we can see from the life of Christ (Matthew 16-20), and how He walked with the twelve disciples. We shared times of prayer, testimonies, and singing. We dialogued with Gary Brumbelow InterAct's , executive director, and heard from Dan Mayerle, the Canadian field director. One of the biggest was our dress up night, and share time around the camp fire; which ended in a massive marshmellow
fight. Not only did our family dress in pirate gear, but we also joined in with a few others to lip sinc- the popular veggie-tales song, "We are the pirates who don't do anything" We throughly enjoyed our first InterAct Conference and look forward to many more. We then made a quick trip to Roach MO, arriving Sunday evening to get settled in at the New Tribes Mission Center for eight weeks of further training. Things have been going well so far, it is just taking us a bit to get settled. For those of you who were praying the Lord did provided child care for Abigail and Ruth and I am able to attend class. When we got here, we were told of a young lady who, due to visa issue was not able to attend college this semester as planned. Her parents attend school here as well and are in our class. We can totally see God's provision this matter, and we give Him all the glory!! This is just a bit of a brief catch up, we still feel a bit behind in our correspondence with all of you, but are working at getting a newsletter out very soon. May you have a wonderful day in God's grace today!!!

you should have really committed to this pirate character by dying your mustache black... permanently... Did you kiss amanda with her mustache on so you could see what it is like to kiss someone with a mustache and so she could see what it was like to kiss somebdy while having a mustache? These are things that I think you should address in future blogs... I think this should be your christmas picture this year...
