In Timmins, Ontario...

God has been so good this trip. He has provided for all our needs, kept us safe and we really feel His Blessing on this trip.

Well, Monday morning Dad took Mom to a local clinic to check out her sore throat. They were able to get her some anti-biotics and she is doing much better.

For the rest of Monday we had the chance to just hang out in Winnipeg. It was a really cool experience. Marty Dyck spent most of the day with us, too. Jon, Sharla, Marty and I played some tennis at a local tennis club. Afterwards, we met up with the family at a park and played some Ultimate Frisbee. We also got to see the Winnipeg Conservatory. Wow, there were some unique plants in there. It felt like the tropics in there and was very humid.

Marty showed us downtown Winnipeg. I enjoyed the cultural and historical experience.
Marty also showed us Wellington Crescent. Wow, that had some beautiful homes. There was so much variety and uniqueness. Some of the houses reminded me of colonial homes.

Our family went out for supper in the evening with Jon, Sharla and Marty Dyck. Afterwards, Jon, Sharla, Marty and I went to the Winnipeg MTS Center to check it out there. It was a huge building and lots of stuff going on. They also had an IMAX theatre, but unfortunately we weren’t interested in what was playing. Upstairs we heard a huge opera going on. That sounded electric.

When we got back to the church Walter and Chris Martens were there and we had a really good visit with them.

Tuesday morning we left early for Thunder Bay and arrived there at about 8:15. We passed the Manitoba/Ontario border in the morning. I've never seen so many Ontario licensce plates before! :-) I am noticing how much more humid it is this far east. We are also trying to get used to the time changes. We had to stay at a motel for the first time Tuesday night. But, it gave us the chance to watch the Calgary Flames play-off game. It was a great game Calgary beat Detroit 3-2.

Wednesday we traveled all day to Timmins, Ontario to the Gary and Claudette Morrisette home. We arrived here at about 9:30 PM. They served us 3 different kinds of lasagna for supper. It was delicious. Today, we had a super breakfast of fruit salad, yogourt and a tasty dish called strata (spelling?). They have been very hospitable. They have 2 kids aged 15 and 13. We've been having fun with them.

This morning Mom started working on a new song called, "Daddys Love Your Little Girls". It is a neat song.

Our next concert will be in Englehart, Ontario Friday night.
