Happy 10th Birthday to Naomi!

 

Naomi was quite excited to turn 10 years old and have some strawberry ice cream pie!

And a party with Nannie and Poppie!

Time with dad to build something.

First time on Hockey Skates and Running

 

As soon as we arrived in Nova Scotia in August Jonathan started asking, "When can we go play ice hockey!?" And last week he got his first chance to try out ice skating!

Naomi got a chance to ice skate too, and I am trying my hand at it. It has been a long time since I have ice skated! We are thankful for many public skate times! Jonathan is learning fast!

Practicing for Cross Country - Jonathan and I ran 4 and 5 km along the trail by the ocean, that used to be a train track.

We saw lots of wild life - deers, geese, ducks and foxes.

The beauty along the running trail.

Rikapuna

 

And time for another ferry ride to New Brunswick to attend Rikapuna, an Ethnos Canada Missions event. 

It was fun to see our co-workers from Ethnos Canada and one from Papua New Guinea!

This skit shows how much a church planter needs the support workers on the field to help him with all the things that they can do themselves as they ministry to the tribal people.

Jacob and I got to share a little bit about our experiences at support workers to church planters.

And back on the ferry again as we head back to Nova Scotia... we choose to stay inside most of the time as it was quite cold on this ride back!

Canadian Thanksgiving with Family!

 

We spoke at a church on Canadian thanksgiving Sunday, so we made a fun holiday out of it.

We stayed at a beautiful bed and breakfast place in the valley of Nova Scotia and enjoyed some fishing on the lake.

It is great to be back and experience the Beauty of Gods creation in Nova Scotia.

We also visited a farm during the weekend and saw a bit of the "creative side" of Gods creation.

Everything is beautiful in its own way.

Food and family and celebrating is always amazing. A good way to give thanks!

You can always be thankful when you have pumpkin pie, family and fishing.
