Dear Praying Partners,

Grandchildren at Gettysburg!
Grandchildren at Gettysburg!

Our God is an awesome God!  We praise Him for all the blessings of this past month!  We were so busy, but praise the Lord for His blessings and strength to go on.  April started with a snowstorm, but we were praising the Lord anyway!  Joe preached at our church on April 7th on prayer and used one of the lessons from Basic Bible Truths through Source of Light Ministries.  On April 14th we went with our church to Porteous Lodge nursing home as we do every 2nd Sunday of each month.  On the 19th and 20th we set up our table at the annual Prophecy Conference here in Saskatoon at the Ramada Inn.  It is always a blessing to hear great preaching/teaching from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Friday and 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Saturday. On the 21st we drove 2 hours north to Middle Lake where Joe preached, filling the pulpit of a pastor friend.  Western Tract Mission had their annual Music/Dessert night on the evening of the 24th, where we set up our Mailbox Club display once again.  We heard great singing by the Beam Family and enjoyed great desserts provided by the WTM board.
