Living Waters Conference and Visiting Family
What an honor it was to visit my family while in Canada for a very important Conference for Living Waters. I was not planning on coming home this summer, even for a few weeks, but once I realized that I was to go to the Living Waters Conference, I took the opportunity to see family and a few friends.
The Living Waters Conference for me was incredibly personal and powerful. The very first day and session, God used to begin a deep work of emotional healing in me. It is hard to put into words what He all did, but over these past 2 months here I have noticed a huge and notable ( daily) change in my thinking, attitude, security, choices,…. everything. I am very thankful!!!

My 3 beautiful girls!
We had the privilege of visiting with our parents.
It was awesome to see them all not just because we love and miss them but because we don’t know how many more years God will give them on earth. My father passed away 10 years ago and my mother is now 89, and Cyndi’s father and mother are 84.

Cheers to the McLean’s. Our hats go off to you!!
It was awesome to see Dan Wilt, who I had the privilege of working alongside for many years at the Cambridge Vineyard.
Also Tony and Rhonda Davison…life long friends.
So good to see you all!

We had an opportunity to see David in Salvador, Brazil on our way back to Altamira. It was great to catch up and see all that is going on in his life.
He is the assistant coordinator of an English School ( Wizard). They are training him to be the Co-ordinator. At the age of 19 going on 20 he has much responsibility and is learning lots. He has gained the respect of his co workers and those he oversees. He deals with a fair bit of conflict and seems to have a gift of calming people down and seeing the real issues. And he does all of this in Portuguese!!!
We are very proud of him!
