Breakfast, Birthday & Bears

At 9am we met Jimmy and his family at a restaurant owned by his sisters, for a wonderful, delicious and filling breakfast. It was a blessing to spend some time talking and getting to know them a little better.

Day 3 of the VBS: The white page, which reminds us of how Jesus wants to forgive us of our sins and make our black hearts whiter than snow. I gave an invitation to the children to stay inside for the first part of the games if they wanted to ask Jesus to make their heart clean, so we could talk to them individually.

Both Mom and Cameron shared their testimonies (through an interpreter!) at Prayer Meeting, which was a neat experience. After prayer meeting, since it was my birthday and one of the ladies in the church had baked me a wonderful chocolate cake, we had a time of fellowship and food. Celebrating my birthday at the Waskaganish Cree Gospel Fellowship, is something I will not soon forget! However, the day was not yet over, as someone mentioned seeing black bears about 20 minutes outside of town.

After watching the three bears for a while, Jimmy then led us down a newly constructed road, and then for a short hike to banks of the Rupert River where there were some amazing rapids. With the backdrop of the quickly darkening sunset, I captured this photo at 10:15pm.
