Canada: "the Great White North saints"
Will Jones:
Greetings to all!
Galatians 5:1ff
Great White North = Canada
I used to be in committed fellowship in Ottawa, Canada, in the early 90s. I used to live in the brother's house there. I was blessed with many friends there: Louis, Josh, Gerry, John, Mark, Ed, Chris, Eileen, Yvonne, etc. There were many dear married couples there: the Smiths, the Dinakrins, the Cossettes, etc. However, I left fellowship on good terms because I went to live overseas with my asian wife who also left the Assembly on good terms. It is a long, interesting story. :) I tried to keep in contact with many people and visited as many as I could when I returned to Canada to see my parents or study. Presently, my wife and I are rejoicing and still living overseas. Pray for us: we are trying to get pregnant! :)
I still love and care for those I fellowshiped with and think about them from time to time. I hope they are doing well. However, as many know, it is difficult to stay in contact with others once you leave due to our busy schedules, etc.
How is George's excommunication affecting the other Assemblies? What is going on in the Canadian Assemblies? Any news would be appreciated because I feel so out of the loop here in asia.
I hope that maybe even some of you will be online. Josh? You were selling computers a while back. Gerry, I know you liked computers! Paul... I know you love computers! Armand and Claude, computers are what you do! :)
Armand and Nancy, did you get that bag of Bibles (to put on the booktable) that I left on your front doorstep? Nobody was home so I had to leave them there. I was cleaning out my closets and found them.
I hope you are all doing well!
