Photos from June
Here’s a bit of June for you. I pray that you will come and experience the people, the culture, the food, the worship, everything. As I enter my second year of serving our Lord, here in Argentina, it already looks to be a busier year. Full of biblical studies as I embark on my Consecrated Missionary Credentialing and the certificate in Intercultural Ministry, travel all over Argentina as I serve many of the churches here and become even more involved and travel around South America for CIPE Asemblea, courses, Latin America Missionary Retreat, supporting and encouraging other churches and Pastors in Uraquay and Chile, and hopefully some times of rest and relaxing. I pray for continued friendships and relationships here, always more Spanish, to grow deeper in knowledge and wisdom in Christ, to be a blessing to others. I also pray for strength, peace and hope as I accept this next stage of the race. A race that I now run alone, without Max, but with Christ and all of you.

Monday’s study group. After every meeting, every study, every prayer time, we break bread together. We are not just brothers and sisters in Christ, we are family. And I am so thankful to be included in this family.
Mountains covered with snow – the view from our yard comforts me and I am reminded of how I am cared for. In Canada I was reminded of the scenery here in Patagonia and here in Patagonia I am reminded of Canada

Embracing a New Life
I write this as I wait at the Kelowna Airport to fly to Vancouver and then onto Minneapolis for Gather ’18. This is a trip of saying goodbye to friends and family – it’s only two years, but seems huge since I’ll be on a different continent, in a different hemisphere, what seems to some as a different world. This is a trip of getting to boast about Argentina, along with introducing my friend, Ivan Carrasco, from Argentina. It will be a trip of memories – just a year ago; being commissioned together as New Missionaries. As I embark on this exciting next stage of this journey of life, I’d like to ask something of my friends and family. July 19th would have been our wedding anniversary. Max and I would have been married for 21 years and together for 28 years. I’d like this to be a day of celebration. Would you celebrate with me? Would you be willing to do that one thing that as a couple, or as a single, you always say your going to do or would like to do …. but never do. It might be something as simple as being a tourist in your own town and seeing the museum, going to a play, something big like going ziplining or for a hike […]
Life with Max was never a dull moment.. Missing the zaniness…..
Death Will Not have the final say – The last enemy to be destroyed is Death… 1Cor 15:26 I can hardly believe it’s been a year already since you went home to be with the Lord. 365 days ago we had just finished talking about Argentina and being new Canadian Missionaries with so many new friends in various Churches across Western Canada. Our last summer together was spent camping and being spontaneous and tourists in our own country. Our last year together was just that – together – in so many ways – serving in ministry in Ecuador, Nicaragua and Argentina, METE, preparing for a whole new life together as missionaries in another country, culture and language. We started that last day with coffees overlooking the lake in Dundurn, SK. What a peaceful morning. What a fun drive back to the Kootenays. The sillyness and zaniness along the way, stopping at the Big Green truck finally. We talked about growing old together in Patagonia, we laughed about ‘the honeymoon NEVER ends, no matter how old we get’. Oh how I miss you. There isn’t a word that completely captures this. There are so many memories everywhere, and while there are no more new memories to be made together; there are. Because I see you in so many ways. You have […]
