We had a fundraising dinner this past Monday at Langano Skies in Edmonton! It was amazing! The food was great and we had 70 guests!!!
The goal was to reach our needed support that night. We went into it at 76% and left at 100% of our support for two years in Ethiopia!!! We also had 12 more people join us on our prayer team!
What a blessing that is!
We are now booking our flights and it is looking like we will leave Alberta on November 14th!!!
Thank you for all of your prayers and support.

Summary only...
So the summer is over... and we ended it this past weekend with a freezing camping trip! It actually snowed in the David Thompson Area this weekend! Eww!
The camping trip was just Steve and I and was very relaxing and fun although it was cold.
Camp ended really well and when we reflex on the summer we are thankful to have been here and see God working in the lives of people.
What now? Well, we are still living 'at the camp'... we are living in Jeff and Kristy's basement and will be until November. Steve is going to work a couple of days a week doing maintenance at the camp. I will be doing paperwork for preparation and booking the last minute doctor, travel clinic, eye appointments. We will also be focusing on our language learning!
We look forward to "A Taste of Ethiopia"; our fundraising dinner we are having at the end of the month in Edmonton. If you haven't heard about this yet and might want to attend, please contact me. It will be a great time to tell people our story and to have people who are a part of our team experience some of what we are going to be experiencing in about 10 weeks!!!
We are doing well with our support and hope to leave mid-November as long as it all comes in! We are at about 74% right now!!! God is so good in providing for us as He has promised.
Well, that's all for now. We hope that your coming year is full of blessing and joy.
Mel and Steve
