Well it is November 21, 2006. Yesterday I sent in my notice of resignation to SRD effective in early January 2007. Finally, the process is started for our move to Guatemala. The number of items requiring attention is troublesome. They include the renewing our Passports (which we received this week), dental and doctor appointments, ordering a spare set of eye glasses, buying extra shoes & clothes (nothing down there if you are taller than 5'4" and that's the men!), updating our wills, setting up American funds bank accounts and money transfer protocols, signing forms of all sorts, the purchase of airline tickets and making decisions on what goes and what stays.We have budgeted $500 dollars for extra baggage. In the midst of all this I am working full time on an Aboriginal consultation process and to top it off the elk are too ellusive to allow me to successfully bag one! I did take some time with our son Adam to try hunting out on the prairies for deer and we were successful. Should keep insurance claims for deer collisions down in the New Dayton area.

We visited Harvest Life Community Church in Sherwood Park where we presented an update on our journey to Guatemala, and I preached a sermon. During the potluck that followed, 2 precious souls accepted Christ! Always good to see that the Lord is working on hearts even despite our preaching!

This next Sunday we will be out of town again across the province to Medicine Hat where we will give an update and I will again deliver a sermon.

We must begin developing our Christmas Newsletter and would like that completed well before Christmas so that we can focus on family and final packing arrangements.Oh yes, and there is the new grandchild due to arrive next week! That will keep Sheila busy helping out the new parents. I will probably try another video and we hope to place more pictures on this site.

Well, that is about it for now. May the Lord bless you with an ongoing revelation of his love.
