After the Storm

 

We could understand why they closed the roads yesterday

 

 

Marc's bus was in the ditch and by these temperatures

that is not fun. Our truck said -29C

 

 

Another layer on the snowbanks

 

 

On route to Genesis in Travers city Michigan

 

 

It's kind of fun to go for a drive in the morning

 

 

The snow plow hadn't been here yet

 

 

lots of steam coming from the barns

 

 

the road where the bus was stuck

 

 

These guys have seen a lot of snow

 

 

Milk truck day

Snow Squalls

When Olga and Stephen left yesterday the sun was shining and the weather was nice. Today all the roads are closed

Friends

Olga was blessed to see these friend at church

they had a friend get-together earlier with even more friends
the little group is expanding with
 husbands and kids

Bringing Marc's snowmobile away to get fixed, the lights didn't work

a short ride for Olga, but fun

The SHIP Sunday Evening

 

Stephen practising the sermon for the SHIP

 

 

We ate together

 

 

after set-up and before prayer

 

 

Did Jesus rise from the death

I listened to Stephen practising but found myself distracted

Later when he did it "for real" and it was the only thing I did

it was so much better.

 

made me think of the parable of the 4 fields

thistles, path, rocks and good soil

The word is good but we are the field and

when we are distracted the word can't do much

 

We have had so much positive feedback for both Olga & Stephen

hope they will bring the message again sometime

For us it was a very good day

 

 

 

 



Sunday Morning

Olga wired with the microphone in the church' basement



Trinity will be baptized by Pastor Kramer

 

 

We are sitting pretty far back

and in 2 week the RVL conference will start

what a blessings

 

 



Trimming the Hedge

Our hedge is accessible with snowshoes









Less snow on this side, but I only cut those branches sticking up
they were harder to trim in the summer
Have to go back for some big branches

Wild Turkeys

 

Rien spotted the wild Turkeys already

when they were still on the way to the farm

 

 

They walked right by the house

 

 

Going through the deep snow

 

 

They've been seen before

 

 

Rien thinks they like the Brewers Grain



Looking for Owls finding Hawks

 

Rien drove and I took the camera along

 

 

So many Hawks are up in trees

 

 

as soon as you slow down they take off

 

 

One of these days I hope to get a real close-up

 



with the Snowmobile to Church

 

looks a little different in the parking lot

 

 

It took Marc a little over an hour

 

 

A great day for snowmobiling

 

 

Drayton is not on the trails, except a short side trail

 

 

just to get gas

 

Snowbank used for Olympic encouragement

Between Elora & Alma

 

The snowbanks are used

 

 

For some encouragements

 

 

towards the Olympics
