Why Is It That Time Flies When You're Having Fun??

If there's one thing we have learned over the years, it is that you will meet people with whom you will instantly connect, and it's like you have known one another for ages. Since we've been here in Canada, we have met a family like that here on the Island, then this weekend, we met another person like that. It's amazing how God brings just the right people into our lives at just the right time. It helps us to imagine a little of what heaven is going to be like. Not only do we see our Jesus face to face, but we have our Christian brothers and sisters for all eternity. Now that's worth living "a day past forever."


We are setting up plans for the summer. Although they may not go entirely according to plan, at least we have a general idea. We are hoping our kids will be with us as we head into summer. We have been invited to provide the music for our Nazarene District Sunday School Convention here on the Island the middle of June. We will also work with the Campbell River Native Fellowship in reaching out to their Native community. Along with this, we hope to spend a week or two at the summer camp in Esperanza and possibly Copper Island in July. So it looks like it's going to be a busy summer, and we pray that God's will be done.

Herman continues to visit people at the hospital and in Port Alberni. Cynthia is done teaching her preschoolers for AWANA for the year, but her and John (our intern) continue to assist our church youth pastor with the teens. John is enjoying his time with the youth, and the boys have really taken to him. He is happy that they have accepted him, so he's getting to know everyone very well.

We will be leaving for the states this Tuesday morning and hope to be in Arizona or New Mexico on Thursday evening. Pray for us as we travel. We know the next three weeks are going to be busy and will fly by, but hey, time flies when you're having fun, which is why eternity won't even feel like an eternity.
