2025 Avant Retirees Canada

Wednesday was a F.U.L.L. It started with delicious homemade granola and wonderful conversation around the table.

Glenn and I left to drive the 45 minutes to Maple Ridge. On the way we stopped at a tire place to fill up the tires. Then I had to go to Dollarsma, very similar to Dollar city store in Guatemala City.

We had a delightful time with Sharon. I had my first ever Fush Taco. Delicious.We learned more about her journey and work in Mali Africa.

I was able to track down Frank Ebner and we’ll stop in Hope on Thursday.

Also we learned where Eva Reimer was living in Abbotsford and we visited with her also. Eva’s brother was Arden Reimer who was the older brother to Viola Reimer Stewart (Glenn’s step mother)

In the evening, the Rempel’s had prepared some delicious ribs, salad and desserts and sat in comfy lawn chairs in the back yard.

The conversations were encouraging and God honoring. We told stories how God protected us, challenges while living in a 3rd world country and heartbreaks in ministry. We thoroughly enjoyed meeting Kerrie and her new husband, Martha and Lindsey Chambers plus Alan McCloud and Dan.

Totally exhausted and totally blessed to meet these Godly folks who served overseas in Mali, Germany and Spain.Read more
