Utah
Hello, Everyone!! Thanks so much for thinking about us and praying for us! The Lord has been so good! Not only do we have so many people back home, but He is giving us more and more people to connect with, which is making our prayer list bigger. Yay!!
So, we finally finished the roof, and it turned out lovely. So we finished it on Wednesday morning and packed up and left Wednesday afternoon. Within a matter of about 1 hour, we had a meeting scheduled and then cancelled. Oh, well, sometimes that happens! So we headed down towards the Salt Lake City area. I tell you, the drive was just beautiful!! We went through the thin part of Idaho, then into Montana (I loved it, and had ALWAYS wanted to go to Montana), back into Idaho, and finally into Utah. The mountains through that drive were really different. Some were covered with pine trees, but others would have a large area of the mountain with pine trees, and then be completely bald on the other side. Even different yet, were many mountains that looked "velvety" from far away, and then once we got closer to them, we could see that they were in fact covered with desert-looking grass. I did get some pictures, but unfortunately we left the wire for our camera back in Ontario. So hopefully I will remember to post them at a later date.
So anyway, now we are in Utah and here to stay in the area for the next 3 Sundays. We just got back from Bible Baptist Church's teen night, where Alan preached. We had a terrific time!
Well, I must be on my way, once again, thanks for all you do for us! Oh, I almost forgot, THREE more churches took us on for support this month!! What a blessing!
Have a wonderful day,

The Steps of a Good Man are Ordered by the Lord
Hi, I just wanted to share a quick blessing with you. I love that verse that I used as my title. Ever since we decided to follow the Lord as missionaries, it seems like the Lord has just blessed and blessed. I KNOW He blessed and blessed while we were in the pastorate, but I really believe that many times I was too busy to see the Lord's blessings on a daily basis. I am so glad that He has put us on this road in this new chapter of our lives because we cannot help but see His daily miracles and blessings! So yesterday afternoon between services, we had to go to Wal-Mart. Now we don't normally do the Sunday shopping thing, but this was of GREAT necessity, as I was completely out of motion sickness pills, and 3 of us would desperately NEED them for our drive home. Anyway, we saw a Hastings on the way, and Alan mentioned that he thought that was a bookstore. I said that I remembered it being some sort of music store from my days of living in the U.S. He was looking to buy some good Christian music, so he thought he might give it a try since we had a few hours to kill. Come to find out, it is BOTH a music store AND a bookstore!! So we went in and everyone has their own taste in books, so we kind of paired off and went our separate ways. I don't know how long we had been, but when my feet were aching, I thought I would search everyone out. I ran into Alan who was sitting and reading a book, and across from him was an older man with whom he had been talking. So Alan noticed me and asked me if I was ready to leave. After saying that I was and rounding everyone up, Alan stood up and the man shook Alan's hand. So we left. Just before we got to the doors, Alan turned around and showed me what was in his hand...a $100 U.S. dollar bill!!! I asked him where he got that, and he told me that when the man shook his hand, he slipped him the bill. Apparently during their discussion, the man had asked Alan what he did when he wasn't reading books. So Alan told him that he was a Baptist missionary. The man asked him what kind of Baptist, and Alan told him Independent Fundamental. To which the man replied that he had a cousin in Wisconsin who was an IF Baptist pastor. He went on to say that he was a catholic, but that he realized the difference between his religion and Baptists was the relationship with Christ. Alan really enjoyed visiting with him. The man said that he went there every day and reads about 10 pages a day. And when he handed Alan the money, he told him that he wanted us to have a meal on him. WOW!! Alan felt certain that this generous man was likely saved because of his comments about the different religions. Praise the Lord!!
Well, it is past my bedtime, and I know that Bro. Larry will be up on that roof early in the morning, so I must be on my way.
Love,
Ida
STINKY!!!
Hello, Friends and Loved Ones,
Once again, thanks so much for your prayers! Thanks for being so faithful! The Lord is good, and we serve such a Mighty God!! He has kept us all protected as we help Bro. Larry Stogsdill put a new roof on his house. As well as keeping us safe on the roof, He also protected us while we were driving to Moscow, Idaho yesterday morning. It was only about an hour and a half away, but the first part of the drive was through the mountains with a deer crossing the road in front of us when we drove there yesterday morning, and another one crossed in front of us (this time in the dark) as we drove back. So, we were praising the Lord for His protection. We had the privilege of being at White Pine Baptist Church there in Moscow, and what a time of worship we had with them! They were so receptive, and the altar was full last night. What a blessing they were to us! There was a question and answer time during the S.S. hour, and I was blessed by all that was asked. Pastor and Mrs. Bill Quaade took us out for lunch, and we had a great time of fellowship with them. They are really a neat couple! We are really thankful that the Lord has taken us to all of these great churches!
So we go out to the van yesterday morning, and by the *LOVELY* smell in there, me thinks that the mouse "food" is working!! It was DISGUSTING!! So Alan did a terrific job of airing out the van, and we traveled with the windows down for quite a ways. But every time we had to lock it up, we would crack the windows, but still the smell lingered. I was really thankful that no one asked me what the name of my "perfume" was; I was almost sure that our clothes smelled of "Eau du Rodent". Anyway, I must find the source and dispose of the little creature...but I think it is just behind the console. I really doubt that I can get in there...
Have a Wonderful Day,

An Unwelcome Guest
Hello, Everyone! Thanks for thinking of us! We are in the beautiful state of Idaho right now, and are keeping busy. Thanks so much for your prayers! I think I forgot to tell you that New Testament Baptist Church picked us up for support starting this month! Praise the Lord!
So now to tell you about our unwelcome guest/s. I believe it was around the time that we were in Montrose when we picked up some mice in the VAN!! I had never heard of anything like that before, but I think they got in from under the hood. I first noticed it in the glove box where I usually keep a stash of napkins. The stack of napkins was all chewed through. Well, if you know me at all, you will know that besides Mickey Mouse, I cannot STAND mice of any kind! So now I am on a mission to get rid of those pesky critters. We took most of the seats out of the van, and vacuumed it all out. I didn't think there would be much garbage in the van because when we have to eat in it, the kids are really good at passing their garbage up to me, and then I will throw it out at our next stop. But I was surprised at all the little pieces of garbage left. So we got it all nice and clean and then I went shopping for some "mouse food". I put some under each seat and in the little storage compartment in the back, where I had seen evidence of them. Then I went back up to the glove box, and I realized that there were more coming in through there, because a "door" was off. I had not realized that it was not supposed to be open like that. So I found the part (it is just like the part of the back of a remote to keep the batteries in) and put it back, but not before throwing in some food. I heard the food fall a little ways and then land at the black partition that separates the inside of the van from the engine. About where my feet are. Then I think I saw a nest through a vent. There was quite a bit of chewed up napkins in there. Well, it has now been a few days, and every once in a while I have to replace a chunk of food, but not very often. So that is a good sign. All I can say is..."Here, mousy, mousy, mousy!!" Well, I better get going...I got me a varmint to catch and then help the fellas up on top of the house. It looks like it's gonna be a fun morning!!
Have a Wonderful Day,

My Thumb
Hello, Friends and Loved Ones,
Thank you so much for praying for us! We truly appreciate them! We have been helping our friends Bro. Larry and his wife, Debbie put a new roof on their house. Alan has had some experience in that area, and we just wanted to try to be a blessing. So all of us are pitching in in one way or another. The children have really worked hard. Anyway, the Lord is protecting us. Alan felt something in his shoe, and he realized that there was a nail that went all the way through his shoe. Fortunately, it went between his toes, so there was no damage done. Yea!!
Two days ago, I was trying to cut some rain and ice paper for the men so that they would not have to keep climbing up and down the ladder. Well, I was using a two-edged utility knife--I had never used one of those in my life before. Before I knew it, I had sliced my thumb. Not too bad, but it did bleed quite a bit. So I just applied pressure, and after a minute or so, the bleeding stopped. I put a band aid on it (but I don't normally like to wear band aids), and just returned to work. The only reason I even put a band aid on was because I wanted to keep it clean, and I was trying to keep it from splitting again. Well, the day after, I had to clean out the van a bit and wash up some spilled something or other. I went on to wash all the windows on the outside of it, but I had to be really careful so that I would not split the wound again. I realized that I was not putting much pressure on it, and therefore could not wring out my cloth as well as I would have liked or needed. So the rest of my hands had to compensate for what my thumb could not do. Immediately, I thought of the church and its members. I kept thinking of how it hurts when members do not show up to church, or don't follow through with their promised responsibilities, etc., etc. I thought of how it hurts the rest of the church, and how someone or other has to jump in and do extra so that the job gets done anyway. So if the job is going to get done anyway, don't you want to be in on the blessing?? I especially thought of Bethel Baptist Church and the many churches in Canada that are without pastors. Someone has to work hard to make sure the job gets done. Could you help pray for churches just like these? That the man of God's choice would step into these rolls? Thanks!

Idaho
Hello, Friends and Loved Ones,
We are still around, thanks so much for your prayers! We left Montrose last Saturday and drove a quick 4 hours to St. Maries, Idaho, where we have been staying with some friends from college. We have really been enjoying our stay here. Last Sunday morning we were at Lighthouse Baptist, here in St. Maries, and then we drove a couple of hours to a really small town called Clark Fork, Idaho. We really enjoyed being at both churches. The people here are so very friendly, and I just love to answer their questions. Then last night we drove one hour to Coeur d'Alene to be with Foundation Baptist Church. Again, we had a FANTASTIC time in the house of the Lord!! We will probably be here until the middle of next week, where we will travel on to Utah for about three weeks. We are trying to help Bro. Larry put a new roof on his house, but it is really slow-going. The only thing about this state is that with all of the curvy roads and mountains, Bethany, Austin, and I get motion sickness. It feels like everywhere we go, our stomachs just churn. To top it off, I didn't think to get some Gravol with Ginger before we left Canada. I can't seem to find it here in the States. Fortunately, my mil mailed us some from Simcoe. So we should get it by Wednesday. I can't WAAAAAIIIIIITTTTT!! The Dramamine here in the States knocks us out, but the Gravol works without putting us out. We still use our Seabands, but it doesn't seem to work completely.
I am just thinking of the time that we were in Africa. Can you believe that I did not get motion sick even ONE TIME?? I could hardly believe it!! Although the roads there are straight, they can be VERY bumpy. And most of the vehicles we were in did not have air conditioning, and I always sat towards the back. With all of that, no sicky. Amazing, huh?? While I am thinking of Africa, I am reminded of the children there that we had the opportunity to meet. I REALLY miss them!! Every day, they would try to look underneath the gate, waiting for us to come out. we always had our cameras, and they loved posing for their pictures. We would then have to show them what they looked like, and without fail, there were several belly laughs. I just loved listening to them!!
Well, I will stop rambling for now. Have a wonderful week!

Great News, Great News!
Hello, Friends and Loved Ones,
We received some really fantastic news yesterday regarding the Garcia family at Faith Baptist in Hamilton. They came to Canada over 2 1/2 years ago. Originally, they were refugees to the United States from Guatemala. Then, after being in the States for about 14 years, they were told that their visas would not be renewed, and that they would have to leave the country. So the Lord led them to Canada. Prior to that, our church had been praying that the Lord would send us families to help in the ministry there in Hamilton. He answered that prayer. There are 19 people in that family! And they were a tremendous blessing to us while we were there, and continue to be a blessing to the Eagles family. They have just received news that they can stay here and become citizens! What an ANSWER TO PRAYER!!! We are sooooooooooo happy for them and rejoice with them! I know it hasn't been easy for them, just not knowing what their future might be, and now it is finally over! Yea!!
Have a Wonderful Day!

Beautiful
Hello, everyone! Thank you so much for your prayers! Other than a great missions conference here in Montrose, B.C., things have been rather uneventful. I think the Lord knew we really needed this time of rest. He has put us in an area where we wake up to the beautiful, rugged mountains and the lush, green trees. AHHH...SWEET!! To top it all off, to get to Wal-Mart, we have to drive down the mountain, and there is the gorgeous Columbia River snaking its way between a few mountains. I think of how the Lord just SPOKE, and this beautiful creation just came into being. Oh, what a MIGHTY God. THE MIGHTY GOD!!
When Alan and I were in Jacksonville during our missionary training, we had chapel every day. And every day, a different pastor would share with us what the Lord had laid on his heart. While they were all good, there is one that I must never forget. This particular man was Pastor Cummins from South Carolina (I think). Here is how he started off...
" When we read the Word of God, it is important to have some imagination." Now he turns his back on us, and he says, "How many galaxies are there? There are millions of galaxies!! Do you see THAT one? There is the Milky Way, where we live. (Pointing) Do you see that blue speck? That is the Earth. Do you see that tiny little brown speck? That is YOU! And the Lord of all Creation, the Lord of those millions of galaxies, all those planets, and all those tiny little specks, loves YOU!! So much that HE sent His only begotten Son to die on the cross for you. And not only did His Son die for you, but He also knows how many hairs you have on your head!!"...
By this time, I HAD LOST IT!! You could have heard a pin drop.
Friend, God loves YOU!

We're Still Going!!
Hello, Friends, Loved Ones, and Prayer Warriors,
After driving for MANY hours, through rain and strong winds, and then through the mountains has made me realize that there MUST be people praying, and a wonderful loving and merciful Heavenly Father Who loves us and keeps us safe. We are truly grateful for His goodness!! We drove from Russell, Manitoba, to Montrose, B.C. on Friday morning. While that was a LONG day, it was pleasant and uneventful. We drove through Saskatchewan, Alberta, and finally reached our destination at 8 p.m. Montrose time. We left Jason's house at 6:30 that morning. While I was exhausted, I had a shower and woke up. We then stayed up and fellow shipped with our good friends, the Rutherfords. Yeah...we stayed up til MIDNIGHT!!! Can you tell we missed them??!! We had a fantastic time with them!! We will stay in that area for 2 months off and on...I think. Anyway, it is BEAUTIFUL here!! I just LOVE mountains and trees and rivers. Here there are all THREE. EVERYWHERE we look. It is just perfect!! On Friday, we did see a caribou, also. That was really neat! We have been keeping our eyes peeled for other wildlife, but nothing, yet. The boys have big plans. Huge!! They want to go on all sorts of hikes and adventures. I am all for it. But they wanted to go hiking on SATURDAY!! Sorry, kiddos, I just needed a down day to prepare for Sunday. Thankfully, they understood and didn't nag too much.
On Sunday (today), we drove to Creston, B.C., where we were able to share our burden for the Togolese people at Valley View Baptist Church. What a GREAT CHURCH!! This is another one that I highly recommend. They are growing, and friendly, and just have a sweet spirit. We were also very blessed by the many questions that people were asking. We were truly blessed just being there. After the service, we had lunch at Pastor Friesen's home where Mrs. Friesen prepared a delicious taco salad. That hit the spot, and then to top it off, she served a VERY DELICIOUS strawberry cheesecake. I felt bad that I couldn't stay and help with the dishes, but we had to get back on the road. We had to travel a little over an hour to our next church, and there was a time change involved, and that church started at 5 p.m. So, thankfully, there were no troubles on the highway. We made it in good time. So now we had the privilege of being at Kootenay Baptist Church in Cranbrook, where Pastor Steve Swires ministers. We also enjoyed being here. They were a real blessing to us, too. They provided our supper in a nice restaurant, and then provided a motel room for us as well. Pastor Swires didn't want us to travel back through the mountains at night, so that was really nice of them to take care of us like they did. Well, everyone is ready for bed, so I better sign off.

Tired...But Having Fun
Hello, Everyone!! I know I say this all the time, but I really appreciate your prayers!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!! I just don't want to take them for granted.
Right now, we are enjoying a lazy Canada Day with Jason Massecar, the son of our good friends, Marvin and Marlene. We are in the big city of Russell, Manitoba. Jason is an RCMP, so we have had LOTS of questions about his job. IT SOUNDS REALLY NEAT!! Anyway, we left Sault St. Marie on Tuesday morning and arrived in Grand Forks, North Dakota, that night. After 13 hours of driving, we were ready to stop for the night. I had booked a room that offers a prophet's chamber for FREE to missionaries and pastors. It was a REALLY NICE room!! We thank the Lord for places like these that want to be a blessing. It definitely was!! Then the next morning at 11, we went on to Winnipeg, Manitoba. That only took about 2 1/2 hours from where we were. We went to church at Berean Baptist Church where Pastor Chris Haley and his wife Karen have been ministering for the last 11 years. If you are ever in the area and want a good church to attend, I HIGHLY recommend this one. They have such a great spirit, and it is VERY OBVIOUS that they LOVE missionaries!! Alan and Mrs. Haley have known each other for many years, but I had never really gotten to know her. Her sister, Jennifer Rutherford is a very good friend of mine. Anyway, we had such a wonderful time of fellowship after church. We laughed. A LOT. It was great fun. Time got away from us, and we did not get into our hotel rooms (the church put us up in TWO rooms)until midnight. I am not normally a real night owl, but more often than not, we are having late nights. That's o.k., though. Like I said, we are having a fantastic time!! So today we hit the road at around 9 this morning, and we reached Russell at about 12:45. We picked Jason up and went and got a bite to eat, then we drove to Inglis where we were able to watch a parade for about 10 minutes. After that, we drove over to a lake with a concession stand, where we had ice cream cones and put our feet into the water. It was really relaxing!! So that is where we are now. Tired...but having fun!! We plan on leaving early in the morning and try to reach Trail, B.C., tomorrow. Yeah...we'll see how that goes.:)
We praise the Lord for being so good to us. He has met EVERY need that arose, and helped us jump any hurdle to get this far. And I am so very thankful for the people He places in our path to be a blessing. We (I) are truly UNDESERVING!!
Have a Wonderful day,
