We love walking in this winter wonderland!

 when it is this cold it feels like your brain is freezing when you go outside...this year minus 38 Celsius is the coldest we have seen it.

Closing Stormer Lake camp

October 4, 2010 with the help of friends we closed down the camp. Drained the water lines, packed up all the bedding and towels in garbage bags, emptied the refrigerators and freezers. Put a chain across the drive and drove away. It was a very hard thing to do. We know the Lord has great things in mind for us. We press on to what the Lord has for us and the Stormer Lake camp in the future.

As I am writing this we are at the end of a six month sabbatical. We are returning to Red Lake and from there will begin a new phase in our lives. We are sure this new phase will still involve Stormer Lake. The past six months we have done quite a bit of praying, seeking counsel and listening as we discern the next step for us to take.

"no eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him" But God has revealed it to us by His Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. 1 Cor 2:9-10

Home for Christmas

Well I looked and saw it has been way to long since I wrote anything....so here goes

I am so excited that all our kids are coming home for Christmas! Six from Marvin's family are coming as well. That makes a grand total of 24!!! So with all the people and lack of space at my house and the fact that there is a dishwasher up in the camp kitchen that is where we will be spending most of our time. I am waiting to bake cookies until the girls get here, and the guys want us to wait to get the tree, so they can experience chopping down a tree I quess, so that is on the agenda for next week. I will even try and post some pictures, later of course

the chapel gets a new deck

we kept seeing this bear at the dump

its been along time,eh?

My how time flies..I have been going to update this thing all summer as you can tell it didn't happen. It has been a strange year, with lots of cancellations. Never less we still are quite busy. Sarah (our youngest) was gone to stay with sisters in Oregon all summer so that left Marvin and I here alone. I honestly can't say alone because we might have had 5 nights the whole summer that we were the only ones in the camp. Since it rained all summer it meant that I had to mow yard every week. It takes 8-10 hours to mow the whole yard. Marvin was busy building cabinets in the shop, it is really looking good in there, of course you all wouldn't know that because I haven't posted any pictures. My excuse; we had our camera stolen and our hard drive crashed. We now have a new one so I will try and do better. It has been a beautiful fall, the bad thing is the mosquitoes are awful. We picked lots of blueberries they are everywhere. We got 6 gallons just picking along our drive. Marvin started cutting firewood Tuesday, it would be nice to have 6 or 7 men cutting, de -limbing, dragging, loading, unloading but he is doing it alone. we should get some help next month, yeah!
