Hey guys! It’s me, Shannon!
I love being back in Ahousaht! It feels almost like coming home. God is everywhere here, literally everywhere! Or maybe I’m just now seeing Him more. Either way, I can tell that we are ALL growing in Christ, and it’s only been a day!
Today I had the exciting chance to join a canoe race against the locals. My advise, don’t ever do that. You’ll lose. The winners did it in fifteen minutes, I think, with second place getting around twenty. Well, we came in last, but we don’t know what time we got. They stopped the clock at fifty minutes before we were towed in by a motor boat. Ouch. Oh well, I’m going to get some great muscles from this, and I already have a tan coming in.
Tonight we’re preparing to go to a potlatch, where we will eat all the salmon our tiny stomachs can handle, and will get to know the people a little bit better. The natives hinted that they might make us sing. Knowing them, I wouldn’t be surprised.
Please please please PRAY!!!! Pray for open hearts for both us and them. Pray for boldness, and for the Spirit to come over us. Pray that God uses us for His will.
To my family, I miss you lots. Tell Emerson that I’m proud of him. I love you guys so much. Be home soon!
To Josh, Samantha says hi and that she misses you! You’d better have a big hug waiting for this girl.
To everyone thinking of us and praying for us: THANK YOU!!!! (and sorry for going on so long)
Talk to you all soon!
That's a great story, Shannon. Love it! And we mothers love details - you can never say too much. :) We're all praying.
