Hhhhmmmm, where to start?! Let's start with Sunday night service. Heidi Baker was here and she delivered alot more than the evening message! As some of you know, Heidi lives in Mozambique and oversees her Ministry called 'Iris'. She told us stories about how God has fed her 'children' against all odds when no food source was remotely available. But isn' that the God we serve?? He comes through against odds that seem impossible to us, when in fact, nothing is impossible with God! Heidi demonstrates a complete trust in our Father and she blessed us with her stories and brought the Holy Spirit and His annointing along with her!
  Today we had to be at Bethel to register, which started at 1000am. We showed up at 1230 and the line up was almost out the door! We had to stand in the International student line-up, which coming from Canada, seems a bit funny when your standing next to others from Switzerland and Norway! We had wonderful opportunities to speak with so many neat, interesting people...even a few youngsters from Calgary and Toronto :) There are 900 First year students, which made the registration process a wee bit slow, but nevertheless, they were highly organized and not ALL 900 students came through registration today. Believe it or not, there are still students that need housing! On Sunday they announced that 15 students have not found anything. That's a little 'too close for comfort' for me. Our first book report is due September 21st. I'm very thankful that we have read the book already!
  Our next door neighbours are two young guys. Daniel is from Canada (PEI) and Drew is from L.A. Daniel has done 2 years and Drew has just started his 2nd year at Bethel. We had them over tonight for BBQ burgers. It was great fun getting to know them and I'm sure there will be more dinners together. We have a sense that we could turn into the 'block parents' for some of these kids as this whole area seems populated by Bethel students!
  So, as we officially get started tomorrow, please hold us in prayer and ask this incredible God we serve to reveal Himself more fully, stretch us and remove fears and 'hangups'. Many thanks to you all for your love and support!
