The singing was loud and enthusiastic despite the small turnout. There was dancing and group singing and timbrel accompaniment.

There is a fellowship time during the service and a chance for a water break and saying hello to friends.

| Fellowship time |
The Brentview Baptist Church in Calgary, Canada has committed $15,000 CDN to build a church on property owned by HATS behind the school. The funds will be matched by monies raised by HATS. The church at a later date will include an apartment for a mission pastor. The 3 classrooms of the school that are now being used are too small. The new church facility will also be used for school morning devotions and parent /teacher interviews etc.

After church we all piled into the truck for road trip down the road to Papa Luckner’s store and radio station. Luckner is the assistant director of HATS, principal of the school, entrepreneur and Christian radio station owner/operator. A remarkable gentleman.

The kids all get to choose a candy treat and have a glass of pop. Good times.

| Hard choices to make |

| Enjoying the sugar rush |
Back at the compound everyone just relaxed (some more than others) for the afternoon.
 |
| Dieumel and Judel just hanging out and being cool |
…….Until Jonathan decided to play jump- on –the- water –main- pipe- game. The plastic pipe broke and an emergency call was put into the blogger….. I mean the plumber. Pipe cement was tracked down at Luckner’s and delivered. Jonathan helped fix his folly and all is well on the compound again.

| Another job |

| You broke it you fix it! |

| Double time for Sunday and after 6PM |

Well Kieth, with all the great blogs, keeping the kids physically fit playing hockey and doing the occasional plumbing job, I'd say your I.O.U. has been payed off. One more chore if you don't mind. Greet the kids with plenty of hugs for me then you will be done. How I miss the Sundays there.
Are you sure that I O U is paid in full? Can't we get something more out of him tomorrow? Something extra? Oh, maybe he paid it with the Sunday and after dark work?? Not wanting Keith to get away with that I O U not paid in full! I know Karen will miss you Keith BUT I want you to know I will miss you too! Enjoy your last day!
I have found over the last few years that fixing anything at HATS is the easy part, finding supplies to complete the job is most difficult. Good work Keith.
Sandra, you and I are in charge of the IOU for Keith. Neither of us want to see him leave. Let us decide together that he still owes and it can't be paid off without a return here again by January. Fair?
Works for me!
Works for me too, Karen, I know he needs to return in January! BUT maybe we need to let him go thinking his IOU is paid in full and he will be more receptive to returning. What do you think? For heavens sake don't let Keith know we are talking about him and his IOU!
