Computer for the Walk


This is the largest industry in our area. They are infact one of the largest manufacturers of agricultural implements in the world. Many people from our church work there and one is Norris Rusling. He is the head of IT for Bourgault. So when Diane (again, the woman of vision and forsight she is) decided we should really have a laptop to take with us on the walk we talked to Norris about a source he has for refurbished computers.

Paul however was moved by something beyond himself (because this is not like him) to ask if Bourgault might donate a computer to the walk. Norris directed Paul to the right man and Paul simply asked if they would consider donating a computer. Last Sunday, Norris told us the good news that Bourgault has offered us a loaner (which is wonderful) for the walk. So we have a wonderful computer to be able to update this blog with photos and daily dialogues during the walk.

Thanks goes out to Diane, Paul, Norris, and Mr. Fagnon at Bourgault who said yes!!!

Hope you get that laptop working soon, Denise! :)
It was so great to meet you at conference. I intended to leave a donation with you on Sunday morning but Spence became ill, as did a few others I understand, so we headed home. (Oh dear, I just had a thought - I hope you weren't sick too!?) Spence is just now feeling normal again.
I don't usually like to drive for that many hours at a time, but the Lord kept me awake and I really enjoyed it. The prairie has such a melancholy feel at this time of year.
Anyway, looking forward to reading about your journey. I'll mail the donation today. :)
Blessings as you go.
