Fireside with friends

A great time by the fire with Moshen and Laleh on our back patio

Grouse Mountain

We had a great day on Grouse Mountain today with our friends Mosen and Laleh. Mosen and Joan walked the 2 miles up the very steep trail and Laleh and I rode the gandola. We enjoyed the lumberjack show and the grizzly bears at the top.

A few more pictures

11493 Millar Road

We moved out of the townhouse in south Surrey on Tuesday and moved into a house in north Surrey on Wednesday. We had some good help from some great friends that made the move much easier. Here are some pictures of the house. It is one story with a wooden desk in the back and a large cement patio on the rest of the back of the house. A nice two car garage and a great gas fireplace in the living room. Come see us.

Summer is over

Well, summer ended yesterday and now we have begun the beautiful fall season. Leaves are beginning to change quickly here, the days are getting shorter, and we are getting ready to move. Not far this time but about 25 minutes Northeast of here. We will still be in Surrey but instead of south Surrey we will be in NW Surrey near the Faiser River and less than 1 KM from the church we attend. This location will put us more central to the rest of the metro Vancouver area.

Our new address beginning October 1st will be 11493 Millar Road, Surrey, BC Canada V3V 2V1.

Off to Portugal

Hannah, Mark, Sahara, Bria and Tirza are on their way to the airport in Seattle to fly to Lisbon, Portugal. The picture is all of them and their luggage loaded in the van and departing out of our garage in Surrey, BC. We pray they have a great trip today to Frankfurt and then tomorrow in to Lisbon. Also one picture from last night of our traditional family meal. It was great. Sorry you missed it DeLaughters and McClures.

Prayer for a friend

Today I received a call from a friend in Damascus, Syria. He is a friend who is origianlly from Iraq but now lives in Canada. He is in Damascus trying to get permission for his wife to come from Iraq to Canada. She lives in Iraq but the Canadian embassy is in Syria. He called asking for prayer for the process as so far they have rejected there application. If they reject it again he will return to Canada but she will have to return to Iraq. The timing is critical as they really wanted her to be in Canada for the birth of their first child. Pray with me for N. and his wife S.
