We would like to ask you to pray, and ask God to provide for us. One specific need we have is for appliances. We are in need of a fridge, stove, dishwasher, dryer, and freezer.
God has already provided a used washing machine for us. Praise the Lord!
And my God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19
Just five years ago we moved from our home area in Michigan to New Tribes Mission of Canada located in Durham, Ontario. We entered the missions training program with Chesley, who was then nine months old. We lived in a two bedroom apartment without any running water. (You can see our water storage there by our feet that we used daily).
So much has happened since then. I’m so thankful that God has lead us along each step of the way!
I wanted to show you some more pictures from around campus. As you can see, its very beautiful right now with all the changing leaves.
(In the picture of our building, our front door is on the bottom far right with the bike parked next to it.)
The apartment they have been preparing for us is not yet ready. In the mean time we are living in a 400 square foot apartment that has two bedrooms, bathroom, sitting area, and kitchenette. Though it is small we are settled in and have made it our home.
We have also begun enjoying the benefits of living on campus. One benefit is all the space for Chesley to explore and ride his bike. Another great thing is that Karl walks to work every day now since it’s just a few buildings down from us. One thing that Denise in particular has enjoyed is our view. How great to be able to look out on the water from our front window!
With just 5 days left until we move to Canada there is lots of work to be done. This week we’ll be busy packing, running last minute errands, and saying goodbyes.
No, Karl isn’t 7 feet tall!
…but we estimate this sunflower to be about that big.
Karl is just over 6ft tall. So, as you can see this flower has surpassed Karl’s height. It is the last of the surprise sunflowers to finally bloom this summer.
