10 Days Back in Nova Scotia!

We had quite a trip! Me and Scott, and a couple from our church, Andrew and Shirlu, all went to the Atlantic Baptist Convention in Wolfville, NS (where we lived last year for school!). The convention was made up of music, business meetings, workshops, messages and more. We had a great 5.5 hour drive down with Andrew and Shirlu- including a stop at Scott's dad's church in Lake Echo, which has just been thru a mjr renovation!

Bored in the car, eating my water bottle


We spent the first night at the Kohler's, and Papa Kohler had been working all day-week-month-I'm not sure- on removing this stump in the backyard.


He wanted to do some gardening and the stump was really getting in the way- so he hired a "come-a-long" to try and yank in out of the ground. Scott determined the danger of the situation and set up this ladder and door system in case the chain broke due to pressure...thankfully it didn't...but we were prepared!




Finally, the stump came up so far out of the ground, Scott, dad and I hung onto the chain and it flipped right over! Victory! Mama caught some sweet pics, too!:):)




As soon as we drove in to Wolfville- look who we saw! Nick Schoffield has been working with muslims in the middle east for the past year and is going back again for another year. It was great to see ya, Nick! We'll be prayin' for ya!




Then, of course, we had a visit with the Walshes! It was great to see them and to catch up. Here's Elijah and Scott- maybe Scott wants an ice cream, too?
