A Gracious Home

Sunday, September 23rd, Richard was speaking at Fair Havens Community Church just outside of Beaverton. We were offered accomodation for the weekend so we made our way up Saturday evening. The couple we stayed with were wondeful! We were made to feel so welcome and in conversation over the weekend discovered we had mutual friends and that I attended the same church in Windsor their daughter and son-in-law do. We were there at the same time, many years ago of course, but still, another connection!


Below are some pictures of their home...it was like being at a bed and breakfast. Speaking of breakfast...bacon, eggs, toast, juice, fruit, coffee...we were spoiled!


The church family was so welcoming and we again discovered many connections with Zambia, North Bay and Camp ABK! We also met a dear couple with four children, their youngest having been born with a heart defect which necessitated an emergency flight to Sick Kids hospital. They were not aware ahead of time about it so it was a very trying time of many unknowns. We were able to "talk shop" with them for quite a while. Their picture is at the bottom.
