Well here we are in Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada in "The Fall" as they say here, and I have to admit, it's pretty spectacular! Lilian of course is in her element! Autumn is her favourite season and so we've been doing a lot of walking through the woods.

Also been preaching on Both Sundays that I've been here. The first was arranged before I arrived, (I usually preach one Sunday in Dave and Stacey's church when I'm over) However in the middle of the second week their pastor, ("Pastor Mike" as he's called here) was involved in a pretty serious car accident. He was travelling to a conference in Calgary doing about 75 mph on the highway wen a driver coming behind him "blacked out" and rear ended him doing over 100! The impact knocked Mike's car across the road and into another car. All the scars were demolished but everyone walked away! The emergency crews at the scene were amazed that they survived it! However, Mike was badly bruised by the seatbelts and airbags etc and I called round to see if there was anything I could do to help him. (I meant could I drive him around or carry stuff for him as he was suffering from whiplash) but he said the best thing I could do for him was preach again as he couldn't think straight with the headaches! So I ended up preaching yesterday too! In fact I was meant to be speaking yesterday in a local prison, ("local" being 3 hours down the road!) but they couldn't get my clearance through in time, so it all worked out for the best, leaving me free to preach in church. Grace Erin Allen was dedicated the first Sunday we were here. This is a picture of them with Pastor Mike, (before the accident!)

Lilian and I have been taking Caleb out to give Stacey some space. He's at the talking and running about stage now and great fun!

This is Grace. Amazing isn't she!
