February 24

After a night’s sleep that could not have been described as restful we awoke in time to just miss breakfast. Well – some of us. The morning worship was awesome and we will never forget the lunchtime ribwiches.Kelsey has gone to get the new-Improved bus and there will be much rejoicing! Nobody has been injured too badly yet. All is well. more to come later.

 

 

Well – what an eventful day! We started out this morning at 6 am with 28 people and a church bus. Despite all the weather warnings it was clear sailing all the way. We stopped for inumerable pee breaks and made it to Weybern (sp?) Saskatchewan in time for lunch. I made several smug remarks about how well the bus was running feeling quite good about the decision to bring our bus. So of course less than 2 hours from Briercrest the bracket holding the brake assist belt broke which led to the cable snapping and a bus full of stranded youth. Well God is amazing. He could’ve replaced the bolts but that’s not typically His style and it wouldn’t have given us the chance to see Him at work in His children (which is where He really shines). We were on the road for 3 minutes when some guys pull over and call Weybern school board to send a bus which comes in about 15 minutes to bring the youth to the mall. Meanwhile Briercrest sent a bus and the youth made it in time. Kelsey & I had the bus towed to Ford and the repairs are simple. It will be good as new tomorrow & Ford loaned us a car till we pick it up! God is great! The youth had a good "unplanned" adventure! The event has been great so far.Music, worship, prayer, etc! Late night ahead.More tomorrow.Gotta go – I just tapped this post out on my Axim & the hand has cramped. Plus, I am logged into an unsecure signal from across the street. Night!
