For our Winnipeg readers you probably have all heard about the fire last night in St. Boniface. For those who are from far away, there was a huge house fire in St. Boniface where two fire fighters died on duty. My dad is a fire fighter and was at the fire that night. Thankfully he is safe and sound, for which I want to say thank you to God. I often pray for my dad’s safety and I am so thankful that he is okay. To quote him, "I’ve at least got to stick around for grandkids :)"
On another note, tonight Ben and I had the chance to teach a short workshop to some of the friends in our class on the importance of long-term missionaries impacting their home team (whether that be church, friends, family etc.). It is something we are really passionate about and it went really well. Ben and I had a blast teaching together! It is our little way to give back to others what we have been learning.
Lately it seems we have been talking more about friends at home and what is happening there. Again, we just want each of you to know that you are loved and missed!
Time for bed, a big week of studying Deuteronomy ahead of us…
