Victoria Day Weekend

Visiting Rev. David and Carolyn Wellwood
at Burtt's Corner Baptist Church

Aaron speaking today at Burtt's Corner Baptist

For all our friends in Kenya, this weekend is a special holiday time in Canada in honour of Queen Victoria. The Victoria Day Weekend is a time that signals the beginning of leisurely weekends as many Canadians go camping or visit places in the countryside. Over the past few days, we've enjoyed opportunities to connect with friends at Burtt's Corner and throughout New Brunswick.

We were very excited to visit our CBM colleagues Malcolm and Patty Card in their new home in Moncton, New Brunswick. The Cards returned from Kenya at the end of April, but will be spending a lot of time in Toronto over the next few months as Malcolm serves as the interim general secretary for Canadian Baptist Ministries.

Our children visiting with Emily, Philip
and Mary Gray in Midland

One of our highlights, was having a chance to slip back to Midland to visit with Mary Gray and her grandchildren. Thank you so much Mary for the way that you've made our children feel so loved. While we were there, Mary pulled out some drawings by Tristan when he was five years old. It was wonderful!
