Dear Praying Partners,

Happy New Year!

We had over 180 lessons waiting for us when we got back to work the first full week of January after a 2 week Christmas break. It took a few hours, but we were able to catch up and get every one of those lessons graded and back out to the students! We always send a Christmas card to each of those who complete and return a lesson in the month of December. It is always so exciting to hear from the students and see what they have been doing on their Christmas break. We even get homemade Christmas cards from some of them!

Please pray for us Sunday, January 19th as we drive to Middle Lake, where Joe will be filling the pulpit for a Pastor friend. Pray for safety and good weather. On February 16 Joe will be going into one of the prisons here in Saskatoon to sing and help another group who’ve been cleared to enter the prison. We will be setting up our table at the annual homeschool convention again this year on Friday and Saturday Feb. 21 and 22. Thank you again for your prayers!

Notes from our students:
