The blog has been rather neglected over the last few weeks, but here's a quick update with pics. After a week of having the bus at the garage, we were able to go pick it up and travel home with it (thank you all for your prayers!). Our time in Alberta was very enjoyable (Jake has 2 sisters living there and Margie has 1). We got home Monday afternoon and dove right into widows banquets prep (practicing new songs, sewing dresses, preparing decor, baking cakes, and more!). We all agree it sure is good to be home! :)
The two rental cars we traveled to Lethbridge with while the bus was being repaired.
We were asked to come to school and do something for the kids - we chose to do a character class on obedience. This is the story of the "Obedient Elephant" *grin
The kids were wonderful and so attentive!
The girls having with their cousins - Vaughn and Alana
The church in Grassy Lake hosted a dessert night to help with the bus fund. We were greatly blessed and humbled at the outcome... Thank you all for your hard work and generous giving... May God bless you!
Part of the crowd
Jake and Margie along with Les and Helen (Margie's sister) went back to chilliwak to pick up the bus. They faced alot of snow on the way, but once again God granted safety!
Stopping at Crazy Creek for night!
