A Rainbow Welcome

We left Prince Albert yesterday morning and met Father Mark at his church in La Ronge. The soccer team arrived shortly after having driven all the way from Edmonton. The soccer team is made up of four young men named Andreas, James, Dan, and Stephen. They travel into communities with LAMP VBS to work with the older kids of each community. We traveled to LAMP lake to leave our cars and connect our trailor to Father Marks car.


As the parents unloaded, the kids took a "barefoot trail" with "Barefoot Mick" who believes in the health benefits of walking everywhere barefoot. We spent some time in the water and then hopped in the cars for the last stretch. Along the rainy drive, we saw sheep, deer, fox, and a beautiful rainbow that welcomed us just before we entered Southend! That was the biggest, brightest rainbow that Father Mark had ever seen and he reminded us over the walkie talkie that the rainbow is the symbol of the first covenant between God and man. When we arrived in Southend, we were also welcomed by excited kids waiting to see us!
