Today we had an AWESOME start to the day. We posted earlier that the firefighters of Longlac invited us to join them for the Summerfest parade. So with
After the parade we ended up at the Long dock and we met up with some of the other kids there. We invited them over for lunch and again just enjoyed the informal time we were able to spend with them. Time to encourage and guide them in different things. I’ve really come to love this time with them. One of them also ended up bringing their PSP and we had a chance to play guitar hero with them.
While they were over, Team B arrived. There’s something about seeing people you know in a different city. It’s just such a good feeling to see a familiar face, even if you don’t know them all too well. You just have to experience it to really know how good it feels. Anyway, some of the group members were tired and stayed back to sleep, but the rest of us went out for a swim with the kids at the Long dock. Teaching them how to have clean fun and to take care of each other.
That night, just as a time to bond, share stories and slow down, we had a night of fishing with our team. We ended up meeting various people from town at the bridge where we fish too. It’s really hard to over estimate the benefits of fishing with people… just spending time, bonding and chatting. Hopefully a good and easy start for Team B.
Just as a final sign off for Team A, we really do thank God for everything that he has done. When we look back at this past week… so much has happened and we’ve been blessed to see how God has been working. It has been a week of being led by the Spirit and we are immensely grateful for that. Thanks for your many prayers.

Hello
Hi mom, it's us and we're doing pretty fine at home. we are all trying to chip in and help around the house and dad as well as he is doing most of the work driving us around and everything. I as well am doing my part for the entire week that i was off work because of my wisdom teeth. They weren't as swollen as i thought they were and i delt with the pain pretty good i think but i'm still kind of sick. From all of us at home, we just want to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM! i have just caught up reading the blog, cause i didn't realize there was one, but it seems that you and the team are doing very well and God is doing some really amazing things and changing people's lives in Longlac. From reading the blog, it truly brings back some many memories from the couple of years i went myself. I pray that God will continue to work his mighty hand and do magnificant work on both reserves. Please continue to share and blog. Tell the rest of the team i said hi and that i can't wait to hear what they have to share, their testimonies and how God is working in their lives and the lives of the Longlac people.
Have a Very Happy Birthday from all of us = D We Love you!!!!
