Hello, friends, thank you, thank you, thank you for all of your prayers!! Not only has the Lord given us safety on the road, but lodging as well. He is so good, and He has placed good people in our path that He uses to be a blessing to us. We are so grateful!!

Well, we have been in Bear River, Nova Scotia, since last Saturday. Is it ever beautiful out there!!! The home that we stayed in belonged to the Nortons who used to come to our church here in Hamilton until they moved out East. They bought this property about 7 years ago for cheaper than cheap. The house had not been used for 27 years. So Mr. N. gutted the whole place and started over, and he did a terrific job! It was very comfortable, and everyone had their own comfortable beds, except for the girls, but they don't mind sharing! The backyard for this home is the Bear River, and you can see it fill up with water, and then go down as the tide comes in and out. It is just beautiful.

They happened to take a trip back to Ontario during the time that we were there, and wouldn't you know it, my greatest fear happened. Something went wrong with the washer. I don't know what it was, but I just felt sick about it. They assured me it was nothing I did, and that it could have happened to anyone, but because it happened on my watch, I just feel terrible about it!

Anyway, we had a terrific stay with them, and the little time that they were with us, we had a great time getting to know them better.

This past Monday, we left Nova Scotia and travelled to New Brunswick, which is the next province back, but this time instead of driving, we took the ferry:( ugh!! I will tell you about that in a separate blog. We are now staying with a lady in MacAdam, New Brunswick, who is very much like a grandmother to us. She also attended our church in Hamilton until she moved away. (Am I seeing a pattern here?!)We just arrived there this past Monday, and will leave her home on Saturday. Then we will travel to Amhearst, Nova Scotia, (right on the border of both provinces) for a Sunday meeting. After that service, we will head back to Ontario to prepare for our trip to TOGO. Yay!! Everything is in order, and we will leave on Wednesday, May 19. I am just beside myself!! Have a wonderful evening!
