Well the day has finally arrived and I must say with mixed feelings, Laura and I leave Canada today for the return to the D.R. This trip although unexpected has brought us closer to many of our family and friends. We have thoroughly enjoyed the hospitality of family and close friends in each city where we stayed. A big shout out of love to my family in B.C. who endured the hardship of family loss with us, God bless you all! I know that you rest in the comfort of the Lord and He has our backs as we leave you again for a time. Our extended family in Alberta is also huge in our hearts as we again are reminded of how strong is the bond that ties us together with John and Denise McNeil, may the Lord keep you and your household strong blessing you with good times and a calming presence. (I know you need that because of those little angels who bless you daily!) Thank you for putting up with us as we moved in and out of your house several times over the past three weeks! We extend another prayer for our good friends who put us up in Lethbridge, feeding us and praying with us while we reconnected with supporters in L.A. Be blessed James and Sylvia for the Lord knows your hearts and He is pleased. We pray for a blessing over them as they support us from Lethbridge, they are our anchors while we are away and we ask that they be held up in prayer while they walk out the mission with us. Pray for protection over them and God's provision, we love you guys! Laura and I were blessed to be able to meet with so many supporters while we were in Lethbridge for the week. I apologize if we could not meet with many others who support us as we simply ran out of time. It has been an amazing time of rediscovery with many of you about the mission God has given us and what has been happening with us so far. Many times I felt my voice straining to keep up with my mind as we shared our experiences with you. I know my wife says I talk too much but I can't help it, I have to tell of the work He is doing with us in the D.R. It is a glorious opportunity for us to be able to share with you all that we have seen and done so far. Thank you all for your time, your hospitality and your love towards us. Laura and I look forward to the day when we can return the blessing to each of you when you visit us on the mission field in the D.R. We will soon begin to build our Mission House and then all of you are invited to journey with us more closely, sharing in the experience of seeing God at work with us in the D.R...with His people.
Finally we wish to thank our parents, each of them in turn have been absolutely inspirational to us, my B.C. mother Debbie, who now stands on the rock of the Lord, bless you as you continue on without my father, I know you will miss him as will I, but I know we are stronger today for how he enriched our lives...no more suffering. To my mother and step-father in Huxley Ab. keep the faith, for I look to that faith in you as inspiration for myself. The light of the Lord shines bright in Huxley, thank you for all you are in my life. Lastly but certainly not least, our parents in Windsor, Laura's father and step-mother, from whom I can say I received good Godly counsel, amazing blessings and profound love. The Spirit of the Lord is the center of Dearl and Annette's life, this we know. Bless you all our
earthly parents, bless you all our families extended, bless you all our friends and supporters and a heartfelt thank you for all you do for us!
Dios los bendigal!
Mike and Laura Boisclair
