May Activities

What an eventful month we had!  Part of the excitement was the celebration of our 50th. wedding anniversary.  We were married in October, but since all our children and grandchildren are in B.C., we decided to do it now while we're home.  Stan and Sandy will be going to Malaysia in September.  Steve and family live in  Langley and the Kutneys are in Richmond.

All our children and grandchildren joined  us on a three day cruise.  It was a fantastic time for all.  To be all together for three days was so enjoyable.  We have a wonderful, loving family.

We really enjoyed seeing old friends in the Okanagan.  In Penticton we visited with Garry and Jean Fricker, our old Argentine comrads.  Rose and Ernie Harmann invited Bev and Tom Mearns to renew friendships.  It was so good to see Les and Helena Zachary, friends from the time I (Ellen) was a new Christian in Penticton.  

It was wonderful to visit the Kootenays.  Paul and  June Kavaloff let us crash at their home.  We travelled from there to Nakusp to see  Charlie Berry.  On the way we visited Danny Law in New Denver.  Had a lovely service at the Nakusp church.  It was special to see Keith and Vi Pennoyer in Grand Forks.  They have been a real example to us.  We also visited Stan and Leona Sharkey.  Their daughter Monica came for a chat.

We were travelled on the ferry six times to the Sunshine Coast and the Vancouver Island to speak in churches. It was wonderful to see so many  friends at conference.  The "Singing Holdens" let us stay in their nearby apartment. Old friends are a real treasure.

A very busy and happy time for us.  Now we're off to Pennsylvania to visit more churches.  

Thanks for your prayers and love.
