Tour Update (2008-4-19)

We arrived in Winnipeg Saturday (April. 12th) evening to set up for the Sunday morning concert. After setting up, we headed over to Judy Ford's home where we were staying. She is known as our "Aunty Judy" and she is one of the sweetest ladies you would ever meet. She has such a super attitude on life despite the fact she is paraplegic. We stayed at her place from Saturday to Monday morning and had a super time with her. She was did such a great job hosting us.

On Sunday morning (April. 13th) we had a concert in the Maranatha Free Church in Winnipeg. We were able to meet up with Walter and Chris Martens. It was so cool meet up with them again. Sunday evening, we went over to the Bethel Baptist Church in Winnipeg to do a concert there. It was a great time with Pastor Arden and Judy Boville. God really intervened and gave us energy to sing in spite of some flu.

Monday morning (April. 14), we left Judy Ford's and headed towards Ontario. We stayed overnight in a hotel Monday night in Kenora. Then traveled to Thunder Bay on Tuesday (April. 15th) and stayed in a hotel there Tuesday night. (April. 16th) we traveled to Timmins and arrived at the Morrisette home in the evening. They had some really good tacos waiting. :) Gary and Claudette are incredibly energetic and giving hosts. We enjoyed some amazing meals and great conversation.

Thursday morning (April. 17th) and afternoon we visited with the Morrisettes which included some more great food! :) Thursday evening, we had a concert in Timmins that was held in a school that went very well.

Friday morning (April. 18th), we left Timmins and traveled to the Jim and Judy Minnett home in Charlton. We arrived for for lunch. Afterwards, we unpacked and set up for the concert. That evening, we did a concert in Charlton that was held at another school. It is so neat to see God at work.

Today (April. 19th) we are chilling out with the Minnetts. They really have a love for people and are being awesome hosts. It is a beautiful, hot sunny day here. Jesse will be leading a youth gathering on a talk about purity this evening.

Judah, Emily, Jesse, Jeremiah all had some sickness in the past week. It looks like everyone is just about back to 100% health wise now though.

Once again, thank you so much to everyone for their prayers!

Hey, design buddy! Thanks for the update on your tour. I see on your schedule that you're in Fenelon Falls today! Ugh, that's only 2.5 hours from me, and I can't make it . . . I want to see your family in action before you leave Ontario, but I don't know if that's possible. :( Don't forget, if you need a place to stay near North Bay, we're located in South River. www.deerlakecc.com. The Lord blessings upon you and your family, as you minister to others on this trip!
