Tour Underway

If you are like me, you will quickly scan this post to see if there is anything of interest. I'll do my best to keep it concise.

As I'm writing this we are staying at our good friend Judy Ford's in Winnipeg.

God has been so good.

Shortly after my last post we participated in the Alberta Home Educators Association Conference in Red Deer, Alberta (April. 17th-19th). It was a really blessed weekend. Dad, Mom, Jesse and Heidi were some of the speakers at there.

Our family did a concert on the Friday night.

On Saturday night we went out for Chinese with the Lipp family. Good times.



We came back home for Sunday night and Monday (21st) we left for Regina. We stayed at our good friends, the Durstons, for Monday and Tuesday night. We always have an awesome time fellowshipping with them. We had a concert in Strasbourg, SK on Tuesday night. For some reason it was a really hard concert where it seemed so many things went wrong. Cables popping, etc. But God was working despite our downfalls.

After the concert, a lady approached mom and said she felt the Lord wanted her to give our family her amazing Larivee guitar! We were blown away at her generosity. God is so good.

We left the Durstons on Wednesday morning and left for Langenburg, SK where we had a concert there that evening. We had it at the Langenburg community hall and it went really well. Afterwards we were all billeted out separate ways. Joel and myself stayed with a young man by the name of Dwight Mehrer. It was a real blessing to hang out with him. He really has a heart for the Lord and we really enjoyed visiting with him. We stayed an extra day in the Langenburg area so we had lots of time to visit. On Thursday, our family went bowling with Dwight and some other friends in the area (Yankes).

Thursday evening, Darwin and Cathy MacKenzie took us out for Chinese, which was a real treat.

We left Langenburg on Friday morning and went to Carberry for a concert that evening. We stayed at our good friends place, Will and Carol Feldbusch. Some of us were billeted out to a couple from their church.

Saturday morning we left Carberry and got to Winkler in the afternoon to set up for our concert that evening in Winkler, Manitoba. We had sung there before. Its such a nice place to sing, its a beautiful concert hall that has perfect acoustics. The place was packed out and we really felt the Lord's spirit working in the concert.

Well there's a quick run down of the tour thus far!

We have a concert tonight in Winnipeg. As always, your prayers are so appreciated!

In Christ,

Josiah
