Well, this is a blog about all different things. I don't have pictures on these so I decided to combine several Canada happenings. The first is that C scored a touchdown yesterday!!!! We were very excited. Next week they have a week off and then they start the playoffs. The team has really improved and are throwing the ball more. C has become quite the defensive player. The coach puts him in different positions, but I really need to get a video of him when he plays the front line middle position (whatever that is!). The coach yells C straight up the middle. He gets all wound up and just charges the line - head down like a bull! Well, enough brags about that.
Next, we had quite a day on Sunday and quite an awesome experience. Once a year, the church has a baptism in the lake. We all go down to the lake and sing and those being baptized give testimonies. We had ten people scheduled to be baptized and then at the end our pastor gives a salvation/and or baptism call for anyone else. We had two more that came forward. S (after getting over the initial shock of the cold water) got to baptize a young adult in the lake, so that was incredible for him. One of the guys being baptized yelled freedom when he came up from the water. I will never forget the look on his face and you could really see that he was free!
Well, the day didn't stop there! This is Canada you know! After the service everyone hung out and yes C and M went swimming! No they weren't the only ones! This was my first lake experience so I didn't know that there would be swimming! Water is frigid! So, the kids had two friends with them from church. M was the only one that had a bathing suit under her clothes(don't even ask!) - the other three had shorts and t-shirts on. Well, I decided to let them live a little and said - why not it is just water! So, off they go swimming in the lake in May! The boys swam out to a dock and were jumping in (I made the girls stay close - I was not going in after them!). Even a couple of adults got in - not too many -only the insane ones! All in all it was a great day and ended with a praise service that night.

What an awesome day (and way to go C!)! Isn't it wonderful to be a part of a body of belivers that truly experience the Spirit of God? Michael and I feel that way now too :-) By the way...I don't blame you for not jumping in. I wouldn't have either!
Congrats C on making a touchdown. We are proud of you. I told you on the phone that the quarterback will be sooo nervous he will be looking for you to come thru the line. We hope you make the play-offs.
M, did you mind the cold water??? ough. Happy you had a great day and that decisions were made for Christ. Hearing how God is using you is a blessing to us.
See you soon..All our love
