Hello, friends and prayer warriors!! Thank you so much for keeping us in your prayers. We have always said that prayer is what we need most, and it seems like our "Prayer Snowball" is growing. Everywhere we go, we meet more people who pray for us, and we appreciate that.

I am so sorry that it has been a while since I have blogged. I cannot believe how busy we have been. On June 10, we traveled down to Pennsylvania to drop off the children, June 11, Alan and I went on to Blairsville, Georgia to spend an evening with our good friend, Bro. Jim Arnold and his family. Then on June 12, we continued on to Jacksonville, Florida, where we spent a week at missions training school. On June 18, we went back up to Pennsylvania to pick up the children. We decided to stay a few days with our good friends, the Shaw family, and then we drove back up to Hamilton on June 22. We then packed up on June 25 and started for our journey to the west. Today is Saturday, June 26, and right now we are in Saginaw, Michigan. We decided to drive 4 hours yesterday, and then the other 4 hours to Sault St. Marie today. It is nice just to be able to take our time and try to relax. I asked Alan if he felt like he had gotten any rest in the couple of days that we were home. He replied with and EMPHATIC "NNNNOOOOO!!" Poor guy. Anyway, on Wednesday, June 30, we will stop by and see Pastor and Mrs. Haley in Winniepeg, where we will drop off some hymn books. Then on Sunday we will be in Creston, B.C. From there we will travel the short 1 1/2 hours to Trail, B.C., where we will spend a few days and a missions conference with our really good friends, Pastor and Mrs. Rutherford and family. After that, we will be in Utah, Idaho, Washington and again in B.C. All of this traveling will take us to the end of August. We are not sure when we will be back in Ontario, but we are to be in a missions conference the first of October. So that is where we are. Hopefully, we will be in some contact with internet so that I can do a better job of blogging. If not, just know that GOD IS GOOD!! And we ONLY want to be in HIS perfect will. So that is our prayer.

Have a wonderful day,

Psalm 113:1,2

Love,

Ida
