1 Thessalonians 5:24-25 “Faithful is He that calleth you, who also will do it. Brethren, pray for us.” 

Dear Praying Friends, 

We are praising the Lord for how He has worked in the sale of our Saskatoon house and in buying the new property in Hepburn, Saskatchewan! As you know from the last letter, our house in the city had been on the market for three weeks ahead of our trip to the U.S. There were eight showings, and no potential buyers had been overly excited about it. We began our drive to the U.S. on Friday, June 29th. While we were traveling that weekend, there were a couple more showings, and by Monday we had an offer! Trying to juggle all the emails, and documents that needed to be signed was a challenge while we were on the road and while Joe was with the Gospel Echoes Trio recording a CD! Praise the Lord, by His grace we were able to get all the paperwork completed for the closing. The house was sold and we still had a week left of our trip to relax with family. We are so grateful that God worked it out that we had access to the office equipment we needed for those days before heading to that week of family vacation.

We also praise God for our church family and all the helpers He sent our way on moving day, August 25, 2018! We began loading boxes on the U-Haul at 8 a.m., drove 40 minutes up to Hepburn and had more help to unload. Because of all the help, it only took seven hours to get it all packed in the truck and unloaded at the new house! We are now in the new place and have the Source of Light Ministries, Inc. and the Mailbox Club back up and running smoothly. Because of the move, Joe’s Saskatoon school bus route had to be reassigned to another driver. Before the move, Joe had applied to the Hepburn school district and was told he would have to start as a substitute driver, which wouldn’t be nearly enough pay for what we needed. As the two-day school bus training was going on (a week before school started), God opened a door for Joe to get a school bus route right here in Hepburn! Praise God from whom all blessings flow! 

This has been quite a summer for us! We could tell that many of you were praying. Thank you all so much for your prayers. 

Serving God in Canada, 

Joe & Penny
