Busy Day

What a day today was! The mission team and I start our day off at Tim Horton's in the morning and have a coffee and a breakfast sandwich. Leigh and the boys, plus James, Jim, Adena, and Linda went and handed out 500 more fliers today to invite people to the block party. So far, I have got 3 phone calls and 168 hits on the website in the last 2 days regarding the block party.

While they were stuffing mail boxes I took Janet and Debra to Lethbridge which is 2 hours away, but with the road construction it made it almost 3 hours. We had to pick up an ice crushing machine for our snow cones. It was cool coming on the way back because they got to see some buffalo for the first time.

After we got back from Lethbridge, the mission team and I went to Elk Water in Cypress Hills because there is no church there at all. They have some church camps, but no church. I got to hear the history of Elk Water also. It was a native community at first, but not a reserve. Later some of the ranchers in the area like the area and moved in, and the province like the area also and turned the area of Cypress Hills into Canada's only interprovincial park. The rule for provincial parks is that you cannot build a town inside the park, but since the town was already established before it became a park, it could stay but with restrictions. They could not expand the town site at all, so the only new building that could happen is if you tore down your old house and put up a new one.

We prayer walked around Elk Water and saw some things that God could really do over there and we are excited about that, then I was able to talk with Linda for a while. She is to the point of tears right now as she views the lostness here in Canada. Her heart is broken over how many people don't know Jesus and really don't care to know Him and it is obvious that God is doing a mighty work in Linda right now.
