Hello.. how is everyone? This is Melanie, updating for today. As you all know, friday at about 4:3o pm, pstr. doods and his family left for canada. my family and i accompanied them. We rested at sis. roseme's new house. Saturday was sis. belia's wedding (it was pstr. doods' first time doing it, and he did it well. In fact, he was so good that other people had asked him to do their wedding! Pstr. Calvin wasn't able to make it so he had to do it by himself...) and on saturday night, we had a house blessing fo sis. roseme. Sunday, we had service.
The Gospel of Christ at canada had develeped much over the past year. Bro. Derrick is now playing drums, Bro. Daniel is now a 'promising' pastor (though he is only 21) and we all know that sis. roseme teaches and sis belia plays the organ. We were able to meet new people who have recently joined our church, and we met some of our borther and sisters in Christ for the first time. Slowly, our church is growing and that is so wonderful.
Everyone's testimonies there was very touching. It opened our ears, minds, and hearts to what wonderful blessings God has done for us. I'm proud to say that the youth's shyness is fading and we are beginning to sing, play intruments, testify, and show our talents during service.
We have all gone through many trials, but God has never left our side. Going to Canada and returning, the weather wasn't the best. It was snowing very hard but thankfully we made it safely. It was great to be with our brothers and sisters in Christ at canda, and God willing, they will join us here in new jersey and see our new church.
Isn't it a good feeling to know that not only do we have a home in jersey, but also in canada? We were welcomed there with opened arms...  We returned here at about 6:30 am, monday morning. The trip was successful, fun, and was truely a blessing, but it's good to be back home... 
I'll see you all on saturday.. hmM.. Bro. Geomar did a great job on the site hasn't he? ok.. well.. God Bless! ((i apologize for the long entry..))
