Turtle Mountain Bible Camp

 We're at Turtle Mountain Bible Camp to check it out as new area reps for western Canada.  It's great to be on a project, and still be in Canada!

We wondered where the mountain was, but found out it was a low mountain range, slight rises in the landform, like the low backs of turtles. 

One of my jobs was taking inventory of tablecloths and other banquet paraphernalia. No, that's not a super-tidy storage room, but a brand new furnace room.

Terry and his work partner put molding around some windows, and added metal protectors around columns.

The main building is new--beautiful and multipurpose

When we arrived, there were still patches of snow, and tree limbs everywhere from the previous ice storm. It's too dry to have ice break tree limbs in Alberta.

 Now the snow is gone, and Partridge Lake, which this building faces, is open.

It was still a little difficult to hike in places.

Big event on Saturday--a town wide garage sale. We followed a map and drove from house to house to house all morning.. Terry was so patient. Here's my best find, a lightweight down coat.  I'd wanted one for a while.

The other best find was the motor part of a food processor, exactly like mine at home, which had quit working. And it was FREE! The seller was so glad I took it off her hands! And I was so glad to find it. The Lord certainly does provide. 

Since these pictures, the sun has come out on some days.

A baby turtle, its back only as big as a quarter (25 cent piece), showed up in the basement of the main building. It was returned to the Lake the next day.

Southern Manitoba is fascinating.
