Heading to Wisconsin

Our time here in Fishing Lake is cut a bit short due to a family situation back home that we need to attend to. So... once again we are packing our bags and heading to Superior, WI for a week. We will be visiting family and meeting with two churches in the area.
This past week in Fishing Lake has been very encouraging for our family. We have been able to meet several of the families, and we are getting a better feel of the area. Another big blessing was being able to meet the local pastor and his wife. They are running a camp out at Fishing Lake this week for kids all over the area. We also were able to visit with a fellow missionary family in the area. They will be about 1 1/2 hours away, and they already have been a great help in understanding the area better.
We will be back in Rochester the second week in July and look forward to seeing many of you then.

update

Good morning all! Thank you for your prayers. Last night we had a great opportunity to meet some of the people at the community of Fishing Lake. We attended a retirement/going away party and we met some of Chief Allen's family as well as extended family. Tomorrow two teams from NAIM'S summer missions will be here and we will be working with them. We have been very excited and encouraged in how God is working here. Please continue to pray for open doors for building relationships
"Praying at the same time for us as well, that God will open up to us a door for the word, so that we may speak forth the mystery of Christ" Phil 4:3

Fishing Lake

Today we have arrived in Fishing Lake, SK after 2 months of traing in Timber Bay. It has been a bit of an adjustment from life out in the bush to just driving and stop lights as we stayed in Saskatoon last night. We have made a few contacts here even tonight hope to get in touch with the pastor of a church close by who is involved in ministry on Fishing Lake. The SMI teams (2 teams of 2 are coming on eather Tuesday or Wednesday. We are excited to get in touch with them.
