CAT

 

Well, one of my readers reminded me that I needed to update everyone on our CAT experience. For those of you who do not know what that CAT is go here. You may have guessed by the picture that we didn't end up taking the CAT. The main reason was the cost. It's VERY expensive. Not only do they charge you per car, but they also charge you per person in the car along with various taxes and surcharges. All said and done it was going to be about $300.00. The other reason the CAT was not a good option for us was scheduling. They only operate the boat at certain times of the week and our travel schedule wasn't going to permit that.
So we ended up on this ferry from Digby, Nova Scotia to St John New Brunswick. It was about a 3 hour cruise (where have i heard that before) and was actually pretty nice. I watched a movie while Esther caught up on some work.
I was a little disappointed by not getting to ride the CAT but I was thankful for the time that we got to sit and relax and not be driving.
The cool thing is that in the future we might have to go back to Nova Scotia and an oppertunity to use the CAT might happen.
So there you have it our CAT experience. 

Still on the planet

 
Hey Y'all,
It has been quite some time since I have posted. I'm sorry if you keep coming back only to find nothing new. Well for a quick update, Esther and I are now in North Carloina. We have already been here about a week and a half and have enjoyed getting to see and spend time with old friends. In fact tonight (Sunday) we are having a fellowship coffee to share our MAF ministry with folks from this area.
Many of you might be asking what we have been doing while "away". Well, we have been all the way to Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, and New England. We can't believe how long we've been away from home, but it seems like it has gone pretty quickly.
For you numbers people out there we have put 5000 miles on our car since we left MN on September 11.
We have been encouraged by the different people we have met along the way. It has been wonderful staying with folks and sharing with them what God is doing in our life and hearing about their lives.
As far as our ministry support goes we are now 23% on our monthly goal, and 32% on our outgoing goal. We praise God for the partners He has brought along side of us in this ministry.
Well, I need to get ready for tonight but wanted to give a quick update. Thanks for all the prayers in our travels.
