<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">I hope that this letter finds you well and that you had an amazing summer! </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">We are all back home here in Coldstream and jumping headlong into all the excitement and activity that fall <br />
brings. Very different than one year ago when we knew no one here and had no commitments as a result.<br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This fall has 3 of our children in school full time and Daman starting playschool. Another new phase in life and <br />
one the kids seem most excited to take on. Kadence is starting piano this fall and Teagan is will be playing soccer. </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">The summer months were truly amazing as our first time as residence here in the Okanagan. The kids enjoyed the outdoors and all the different activities that are available. We’ve had lots of good family time with the kids including watching, as Teagan calls it “Diarrhea of a Wimpy Kid”. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We had an amazing time with all the visitors that came through and the kids loved the cousin time and getting to meet Ardi for the first time as well. They are counting down the days until Grandma’s and Grandpa’s will be coming for a fall visit. </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Our trip back to Alberta at the beginning of September was a great opportunity to connect with friends and family even though it was a quick and busy trip. Sadly the Labour Day Classic was anything but a Classic but a good time with family none-the-less. We had the opportunity to spend a weekend at Camp Gladstone with the Native churches from the South. It was great to connect with community there, meeting lots of new faces and really enjoyed the family and getting more familiar with the camp there. We are very grateful for the leadership we are able to serve under with Interact and excited for what God is doing there. </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">This fall we will be starting to serve in the Native Christian Fellowship in Kamloops working with the Youth and pre-teens. We are excited to work alongside those already there and learn from them. God has blessed us incredibly and we are so grateful for this opportunity to serve Him. </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><shapetype adj="16200,5400" coordsize="21600,21600" id="_x0000_t13" o:spt="13" path="m@0,l@0@1,0@1,0@2@0@2@0,21600,21600,10800xe"><stroke joinstyle="miter"></stroke><formulas><f eqn="val #0"></f><f eqn="val #1"></f><f eqn="sum height 0 #1"></f><f eqn="sum 10800 0 #1"></f><f eqn="sum width 0 #0"></f><f eqn="prod @4 @3 10800"></f><f eqn="sum width 0 @5"></f></formulas><path o:connectangles="270,180,90,0" o:connectlocs="@0,0;0,10800;@0,21600;21600,10800" o:connecttype="custom" textboxrect="0,@1,@6,@2"></path><handles><h position="#0,#1" xrange="0,21600" yrange="0,10800"></h></handles></shapetype><shape id="_x0000_s1026" style="height: 26.2pt; margin-left: 0.75pt; margin-top: 18.95pt; position: absolute; width: 32.25pt; z-index: 1;" type="#_x0000_t13"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span></shape><span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">We we love you to join us and support us in prayer.

Amazing how the change in season gives you such a boost. We are looking forward to the summer season here and hope to catch up with a lot of our friends and family that we miss so much. </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">The kids are continuing to adjust nicely to our new surroundings. They just finished hatching out chicks out of an incubator and it was a lot of fun for everyone. “Funny Farm” sure is an accurate way to describe our new home! </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Danielle is right back to old form, off and running and always on the go- just the way she likes it. She is also playing in the volleyball league here in Vernon as well as starting to run in long distance races. She and Teagan ran in a 5km all ages race and came in 37<sup>th</sup> out of 100 runners. Quite the competitive drive that boy has! </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">While all the change has been challenging in the last year we are so grateful that God has been faithful throughout and know he will continue to be. Thanks for all the prayers while we were hunting for a church to call home here. We’ve happily landed at Alexis Park Church in Vernon and have already made some good friends and started connected rather quickly. </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">We played host to an Easter Egg hunt at the Okanagan Nation and it was a good experience for us all as having to put ourselves out there and really leave it all up to God. It was something that was especially special as we were able to do it as an entire family and reach out in love. Thanks so much to those of you who partnered with us on that event. May long weekend brought us back to Alberta as Danielle and I had the privilege of serving at Native Youth Conference (NYC) at Camp Nakamun. It was exciting to see God moving among Native youth from all over Western Canada. There was aprox 300 youth at the event this year and the highlight of the weekend was definitely seeing 115 of them make decisions for Christ! It is amazing to think of the kinds of things God can do with that many new committed children. It was also exciting to have Danielle’s Brother and Sister Daylon and Darcy along with us.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"></span><span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">God has been very faithful to us and while constantly challenging us and making us grow in our walks with him and preparing us for all that He has in store, it is always comforting to be able to look back and see his hand in everything that has brought us to where we are today.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><shapetype adj="16200,5400" coordsize="21600,21600" id="_x0000_t13" o:spt="13" path="m@0,l@0@1,0@1,0@2@0@2@0,21600,21600,10800xe"><stroke joinstyle="miter"></stroke><formulas><f eqn="val #0"></f><f eqn="val #1"></f><f eqn="sum height 0 #1"></f><f eqn="sum 10800 0 #1"></f><f eqn="sum width 0 #0"></f><f eqn="prod @4 @3 10800"></f><f eqn="sum width 0 @5"></f></formulas><path o:connectangles="270,180,90,0" o:connectlocs="@0,0;0,10800;@0,21600;21600,10800" o:connecttype="custom" textboxrect="0,@1,@6,@2"></path><handles><h position="#0,#1" xrange="0,21600" yrange="0,10800"></h></handles></shapetype><shape id="_x0000_s1026" style="height: 26.2pt; margin-left: 0.75pt; margin-top: 18.95pt; position: absolute; width: 32.25pt; z-index: 1;" type="#_x0000_t13"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span></shape><span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">We ask that you continue to partner with us in prayer for the following items: </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">- As we continue to develop relationships and build trust among the local native community </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">- For wisdom and unity and we search out God’s will for our lives and serve Him <span style="mso-tab-count: 5;"> </span></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">If you wish to partner with us financially as we pursue the call of God on our lives to serve Him in the native community tax deductable donations can be made, specified with our names, to Interact Ministries at </span></span><a href="http://www.interactministries.org/"><span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">www.interactministries.org</span></span></a><span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> or Box 60029 Strathmore, AB T1P 0C2. </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Thanks so much for all of your Love and prayers and hope to hear from you soon! </span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNJqrx6feIixO5ER1ZlClDQViBVWfbFHQwGocTPGYykaT2VIPN1FgHOh12_zTaLs8Fgliju9vXG96Q_u6s-UaO5-gJlH9CDAWiefgU7n9H82QGmWBVVnlDMMECfg5Fk9yqHvtIZzY3xU0/s1600/bd.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240px" i$="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNJqrx6feIixO5ER1ZlClDQViBVWfbFHQwGocTPGYykaT2VIPN1FgHOh12_zTaLs8Fgliju9vXG96Q_u6s-UaO5-gJlH9CDAWiefgU7n9H82QGmWBVVnlDMMECfg5Fk9yqHvtIZzY3xU0/s320/bd.jpg" width="320px" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqyjLlVXQzK7CKvkGVFgRqq66g8YJ-OnttOD1esg9MKV3CUpPBb3pMnQfm0585TfZb1obLL4WWNQjaUIzBc2Qt_bf70Mxeu7ZU-I2aXP5AXAdFJUEMKiMQpgmfkUnXYRtNxWzbgq7swyw/s1600/247683_10150191303076194_512836193_7157508_6025439_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239px" i$="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqyjLlVXQzK7CKvkGVFgRqq66g8YJ-OnttOD1esg9MKV3CUpPBb3pMnQfm0585TfZb1obLL4WWNQjaUIzBc2Qt_bf70Mxeu7ZU-I2aXP5AXAdFJUEMKiMQpgmfkUnXYRtNxWzbgq7swyw/s320/247683_10150191303076194_512836193_7157508_6025439_n.jpg" width="320px" /></a></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

God has been faithful over the last year and in following one step at a time we have found ourselves landed in Coldstream, BC.

A growing desire to serve with youth and children and to</div><div align="left">get involve in the native community.</div><div align="left"><br />
</div><div align="left">We have been accepted as missionaries with Interact Ministries. A group committed to reaching the unreached people groups of the NorthWest Crescent. They have been a great support and we have really enjoyed working under their eadership. God has blessed us with an opportunity to move into an area with a large, unreached native population </div><div align="left"><br />
</div><div align="left">The kids have adjusted well to the move, although we are all missing having friends and family close by.</div><div align="left">Teagan and Kadence have really enjoyed their new school at Coldstream Elementary. Hayden is enrolled in playschool at Vernon Christian school and seems to be enjoying it as well. Danielle has kept busy chasing the kids around with Daman, setting up our new home, and exploring all the Okanagan has to offer. Working at the General Manager of Parks and <span style="font-family: FranklinGothicBook; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: FranklinGothicBook; font-size: x-small;"></span></span></div><div align="left">Recreation for Armstrong/ Spallumcheen has provided a platform to get established here and create an entry point to create relationships with the native community. </div><div align="left"><br />
