Church planting in western Canada
A couple of you should at least pray about this possibility. There is room for you. I don't have all the data at my fingertips, but I could point you to people who might. There might also be opportunities for teaching on the institute and college level.
Saskatoon
Drove one of two rental cars from Edmonton to Saskatoon today. WCBF conference began this evening. I am mainly attending, spending time with people, and profiting from the preaching (and possibly participating musically). Please pray for churches and believers to be encouraged during these days.

To Calgary
Thursday: Cedar Rapids, IA, to Greeley, CO.
Friday: Met briefly with pastor in Greeley. Drove from Greeley to Rexburg, ID. Spent the night in the home of a pastor's family in Rexburg. City is something over 90% LDS, they told us. Population has swollen due to BYU-Idaho. Clear view of the nearest ward building and the Rexburg temple from the front door.
Saturday: Rexburg to Calgary.
Sunday: Spent day with church in Calgary. Thankful for this opportunity. The Lord has done great things here.

Through Omaha
On the north side of Omaha is the Mormon Trail Center. Today in passing I left a gospel booklet there for an LDS missionary whom Deborah and I met last week. Please pray that this young adult would be free to read the booklet and to spend time thinking about the Scripture contained in it.
The museum is built near the site that became the Mormons’ winter quarters during the winter of 1846-47, following a journey across Iowa that, due in part to heavy rain, had taken four months. The trip today from Cedar Rapids to Omaha took only four hours, across land that is again saturated with water—water devastating to fields of tiny corn but producing everywhere else a beautiful early-summer green.
In Cedar Rapids several weeks ago, while participating in the church’s neighborhood visitation, a group of us met a young couple that had been affected by the severe Midwest flooding of 2008. It seems as if the Lord might have used this experience to help prepare this man to respond to the gospel. The two have begun attending Lord’s Day services. Please pray for their salvation.
I praise God for the gospel—good news for any sinner who will come to God through Jesus in the way explained in the New Testament. I’m thankful for the privilege of dedicating my time to gospel ministry, specifically in preparation for teaching in Uruguay. Please pray that we will rely on His grace to be faithful to this task!
