Canada: Paul recently taught the book of Matthew to the students at WOL Bible Institute in
Owen Sound, Ontario. It was quite a drive for our family, but we were grateful for the time of
ministry together. Over the course of two weeks, we got to know the students and staff on a
personal level, and were hopefully able to encourage them in the Lords work. It was great to see
one of the students in New York just last week as she came down to the ministry headquarters and
participated in the Missionary in Training program. At the end of the week, she was officially
accepted as a Word of Life Missionary and plans to return to Owen Sound to join their team after
she raises the necessary support. Owen Sounds WOLBI class is pictured to the right.

Caroline: Caroline is now 18 months old and she is busier than ever! Some days its all Mommy
can do to keep up with her! Caroline enjoys going to the park, riding daddys back, watching Barnie
the Purple Dinosaur, and taking out every toy she owns. She also enjoys helping Mommy around the
house. Shes already learning to sew, as you can see from the picture to the left (not really, but she
enjoyed playing with the measuring tape). Her favorite foods include blueberries, crackers, yogurt,
and M&Ms. So far she can only say a handful of words, such as Momma, Dadda, cracker, buh-bye,
and wow!, but we know that the non-stop talking will soon begin!
