Well, in response to John's comment I guess some things have happened in our lives since April 16th. We have finially gotten some summer weather! I am actually thinking that I have to get my mower ready because we need to cut our grass.
We are also on course for a record month at work, not just for May but best month ever. As of today I believe that we were at 8o units this month just for the used dept. Sadly not nearly enough of those are units that I sold but God is good and we will still manage to pay the bills and put bread on the table. I did finially get my demo at work (an '07 Pontiac Torrent; small suv) It sure is nice to drive a brand new vehicle. And speaking of work, I had an interesting thing happen today. Since it is the end of the month all of us are trying to get to our bonus levels. The one guy in the office next to mine has been there for just over a year I think, and he is trying to get to 15(he has never hit 15 units since he's been there). I was sitting at my desk reading some literature on our extended warranty programs. I had my hands folded and my head resting on my hands. He walked by and asked if I was praying or reading. I laughed and said that I was reading but since I needed I more sale to make 10 (our first bonus level) that maybe I should be praying instead. He asked if I was going to do that then maybe i could mention one on his behalf since I had a much better standing with "the man upstairs" than he did. As he left I figured that if I would pray for him and God would answer that there might be some way that this would get him thinking about the reality of a realtionship with God. Toward the end of the day we where sitting around talking and the finance lady came out and told him that a deal he had been working on had been approved. This was a deal that he figured would probably not go through. The first thing he did was ask me if I had prayed. I told him that I had and he said that if that was all it took then could I please do it 6 times a week. It was interesting to see how God worked in the situation. I trust that this will open opportunites in the future.
Ashley is still in Costa Rica and enjoying her time there. She is due to return on the 19th 0f June.
Margaret is still working in the home and garden dept at Superstore. She enjoys her job for the most part some of the other staff are difficult to deal with at times. She has also had opportunities to share about Christ with one of her co-workers.
Matt and Brittany are looking forward to finishing school. They are both thinking about getting jobs for the summer. Matt with a friend of ours who does underground sprinklers and Brittany is thinking of McDonald's.
Steve left for Saskatchewan today; he was very excited to be moving back. He is not sure yet what he is going to be doing but is confident that he will find a job.
