Happy New Year To All!!!
Another year has gone and a new one has begun just like that. This time of year to me when I was younger seemed it went on forever. Now, now it just comes and goes. Time to me as I get older seems to go a little faster each year.
I'm enjoying my life up here as usual. I have a new son and another new year with my wife. We're looking forward to what the LORD has in store for us. Things up here are changing slowly in the ministry. It won't be long until Pastor Donley resigns in June and Dr. Gary Forney comes to be the interim Pastor and I become the intern Pastor.
It really hit me when Pastor Donley said this was his last CHRISTmas Eve service with us up here. He has been in this ministry for so long it was a shock for me to hear him say that. God is working. This ministry is moving forward, taking a leap of faith, and growing. PRAISE THE LORD!!!

Merry belated CHRISTmas
Merry CHRISTmas to all,
Well, my CHRISTmas post is a little late but its ok cause I was cleaning off the snow that was on my truck and someone in passing said Merry CHRISTmas. So that is my excuse. Like every year my highlight for CHRISTmas was breakfast with my family. We have a huge breakfast. My mom makes Eggs Benedict, bacon, sausage, waffles, fried potatoes, and if you want one, your own omelet. What I mean by your own omelet is she won't make a bunch of omelets unless you specifically want one. Its the best breakfast of the year.
It was also my boy's first CHRISTmas. He slept through opening presents time. My mom made up 16 stockings. It was crazy in my parents house during present time. Next year I'm sure it'll be a little more fun for him.
Well, gotta go.

Oh Boy!!
Greetings my companions,
Well, if you haven't seen my wonderful wife's blog, then you're going to just get words from me. Sandy gave birth to 7 pound 8.5 ounces boy on December 12th 2010 at 2;41pm. His name is William Adoniram Judson Gordon. Sandy originally wanted to his first name to Adoniram but I had trouble pronouncing it but I got it down now. A lot of people had trouble pronouncing it after we were allowed to tell them his name. So that is why I compromised with Adoniram Judson as the middle names.
During the birth Sandy did really well. The nurses were very impressed with how well she was doing. She did take some medicines for her contractions. She didn't need an epidural. The medications made her a little bit out of it. She fell asleep between contractions. The doctor broke her water and about an hour and a half later the baby was born. It was a beautiful experience...from my point of view.
oh yeah, the nurses also called her Super Sandy.

Shane Gordon.

Vision Conference
Hello y'all!
What part of "y'all" don't you understand? Anyways...Tonight was the start of the Vision Conference. Dr. Forney is the speaker. It ends Saturday night. The message tonight was called "The Big Picture". Its mainly about the church. That is what the vision conference is all about. The vision of the church. So the big picture was about the origin of the church, the responsibility of the church, and the future of the church. Those weren't his points but the same idea.
So tonight and tomorrow night will be fundamental things about the church. Then Friday and Saturday will be more deeper study. I'm looking forward to it. It all has to do with the next couple of years with the goal for the church to take on its own local pastor.
So the goal, if the Lord wills, will be June 2012 I will become Pastor. So this conference will help the church understand the changes that are taking place. Pastor Donley is resigning this coming June and Dr. Forney is coming in as the interim Pastor. From there he will train me.
So if everybody can pray for Dr. Forney, the church, and the meeting. Its already been a good start.

Shane Gordon.

The Countdown Has Begun
Hello everybody!!!
Well, I'm actually counting down now. Sandy's pregnancy has been so long that I'm actually coming to a point of saying to her, "Are you done being pregnant yet?". Just kidding. Its a life changing experience. I enjoy it...not sure if she'll agree with me...but I'm happy and that is all that matters...well...her happiness matters too.
Lets see...one month and 4 days till the due date. I'm calling it D-Day. Well, the whole world calls it that. December 7th is called D-Day for Pearl Harbour for those of you who don't know. And so that is our due date (D-Day).
I think I was just touching the baby's knee or elbow. Weird...well...I was touching Sandy's side and one of the baby's knees or elbows were pushing out.
Snads and I ship out November 19th to head back to Inuvik to get ready for the baby. Its coming fast. Its already November 3rd and so thats only two weeks and 2 days. We've got a lot of work to be done before we leave.
Prayer requests: Pray for Deanna Mcleod. She is around 12-14 years old and she gets seizures and she twitches. The Doctors say she will recover but it will take a long time. She is a resident in Aklavik. She and her family was in church Sunday. She did very well according to her dad sitting there. But next time he said he is going to bring an arm chair for her to sit in because the church chairs were too hard for her to sit in.
Also, pray that the ice road will open early. Sandy and I would like to have our vehicle with us in Aklavik after the baby is born. Our vehicle is in Inuvik and well, we walk everywhere here in Aklavik and once we have the baby, it'll kinda be too difficult to get around with how cold it is getting.
And of course, pray for Sandy and the baby. Its getting tougher day by day. We're heading into the final weeks. She is 35 weeks now and well, once she hits 36 weeks, the baby is safe to deliver. Now, she is in the beginning stages of the baby dropping and so that is why its getting tougher.
Also, pray for Sandy's permenant resident status. Her stuff is still processing and hopefully her criminal record is the last thing we have to send. We had to send and re send other things but for the most part, I think and hope we're done sending stuff. I just want get it over with and cross the border to the United States and cross back into Canada for her to be a landed immigrant.
And don't forget to pray for the ministry here. Pray for the people, members of the church, and the Nolands as they are on furlough to raise additional support. They return near the end of December. And we will head back to Inuvik in the new year.
Buh bye
