Premarriage "Crash" Course
Yes-we are still getting married! Why the "crash" course then? Well, we basically covered several weeks material in a week. Richard and I have been discussing and dealing with so much over the past several months that a lot of what is dealt with in premarriage counselling we've already covered...plus we're older so some issues that younger couples would deal with aren't applicable anymore.
The week away in Englehart with the Kerr family was just wonderful. Peter Kerr had graciously agreed to perform the ceremony and invited us up for the week to prepare for both the wedding and the marriage afterwards. He and his wife Dorothy spent time with us discussing marriage from a Biblical standard and gave us excercises to do both seperately and together. It was a very challenging time but also such an encouragement to both of us.
But it wasn't all work! We had a very enjoyable time outside exploring their property and an outdoor lunch/hike in Kap-Kig-Awan Provincial Park which is in Englehart.
Now, some of you may be asking, 'Where is Englehart?'. Well, Englehart is about 45 minutes north of New Liskard. For those of you asking, 'Well, where is New Liskard?' it is a few hours north of North Bay. If you don't know where North Bay is, well, it's north of Toronto by about 4 hours. Bottom line is, we were up north among moose, bears, & very kind people.

Charity and Matt's Wedding
This really shows how far behind we are!!!!
Charity (Richard's cousin) and Matt were married on June 10th of this year. It was a beautiful day focused on the Lord. Here a few candid shots from the event.
Last steps as Charity Brooks with her dad, Ed
This is my favourite shot...Charity and Grandpa Brooks.

Elim Lodge
Back in August, we went to Elim Lodge for the weekend where my parents were staying for the week. Growing up we went almost every year. My parents continue to go and really enjoy their stay.
Elim was started years ago by the Assemblies in the area as a Christian campground. There is not much assembly involvement now, but they still have the breaking of bread service every Sunday. Until recently, everything shut down whenever there was a service going on (even during the week) and the pools, playground and lake were all off limits as an encouragement to go to the meetings which were always well attended.
There is a featured speaker every week with twice daily services as well as a featured mission. The week my parents were up the speaker was Dr. John Moore who is also a hymn writer. I think his best know hymn is "Burdens are Lifted at Calvary" which Richard tells me is a favourite in Zambia. Richard demonstrated for Dr. Moore how it is sung in Zambia(Bahdens are leeftid...) and Dr. Moore sung it as it is done in Scotland (Burrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrdens are lifted...).
Here we are with Dr and Mrs. Moore

Photo Journal
We have been so blessed to be able to offer hospitality over the past few months. Here are just a few nice shots of those times.
Aunt Betty came out to the prayer meeting at Hopedale. She is doing incredible well- PRAISE THE LORD!!!!
LIFT group-We had about 20 out that night to watch a film demonstating what happened as a result of God being removed from society's moral code. How can we say what is right without refering to and revealing the source of what is right?
