Sunday Scouts


We made it through the night all tarped over to keep the rain out. Not real high, and definitely not real dry. Kevin cooked breakfast and Misty went to get ready for church. At the bathhouse Misty met Angela. Angela said that she is a den mother for the boy and girl scouts staying there at the campground. After a bit of small talk Angela went back to the campsite.

Misty prayed to try and figure out a way to give all the Scouts a Bible. As Misty was walking out of the bathhouse and Misty met Angela heading back to the bathhouse. Misty stopped her and asked if she could give her a gift of a Bible. Angela was happy to receive the testament.

Misty went on to ask if she could give the rest of the campers in the Scout group a Bible. Angela said they would like it very much.

Misty went to the car and got 12 French PWTs and took them to the Scouts. The scouts sat on the picnic bench and each received a copy of God's Word! The Scoutmaster translated for Misty as she shared the Gospel with them. She showed them the helps in the front and went to the plan of salvation in the back. As she explained, Rene' the scoutmaster, interpreted. Soon after she finished, Angela's parents arrived and we were able to present them with their testament as well. The Scouts lined up and said with sign language, "Merci Beaucoup" which is "Thank you very much" in French. They said word for word it's Sea Beautiful Cut.

We went to a Pentecostal Church that Loren had made contact with. It was a lady pastor and as it turned out her dad is a Gideon in Bathhurst.

We had the opportunity to share about our trip so far. Kevin told about the two young guys that had never heard of Jesus. Kobee told about giving a Bible to two guys early yesterday and one guy yesterday evening. Misty told about the encounter with the scouts.

We met a really nice family by the last name of Friolet. Jean Marc, Annie and three cute little girls. One little girl looks like Gabby Wade. Same hair, same smile.

One of the members showed up at the campground and picked Loren up and took him to buy us chicken for lunch. This is a great blessing and meant alot to us. We pray that the Lord will bless him for taking care of us.
