Anniversary

Hello all!!!

Well, its been a year since Sandy and I have tied the knot, joined hearts, putting on the ball and chain, settling down, etc. I am a blessed man to be married to such a blessed woman. I wouldn't have it any other way.

The LORD has brought Sandy a long way living up here. She took a big step of faith to come up here...well...to marry me and follow me up here. The LORD has blessed her for it. She loves it up here. She has already been up and down the Dempster Highway a couple of times, berry picking, watching fireworks in minus 40 weather, seen northern lights, and living in 24 hour day light and 24 hour darkness.

Just wanted to say to my wonderful wife, happy anniversary and hope for many more to come.

For His purpose,

Shane Gordon.

Counting Down

Hello peoples!!!

Not much has happened since I was in Aklavik. I was only there the weekend. The message went well and they were blessed by it. Now I'm just preparing messages for the Inuvik Church. My Pastor has been away in Alaska for about 2 weeks now. So I've been busy preparing messages.

We have set a date to when Sandy and I will leave for Aklavik. We will be leaving September 6th. The only thing I need to check is when we're coming back. Mr. Noland told me he and his family will be back the middle of January but other people have been telling us that the Nolands told them they'll be back just before CHRISTmas. So we will see.

Sandy's pregnancy is going well. She has an ultrasound July 20th. Her parents will be here for that and so we're excited about her parents being here for the ultrasound. Snad's parents arrive in Whitehorse July 6th and my parents and Snads are leaving either Sunday night or Monday morning to leave for Whitehorse.

So thats all folks!!!

In Aklavik

Hello peoples!!!

Well, I'm here in Aklavik. I came here yesterday (Saturday). About 15 minutes after we left Inuvik in the airplane, a lightening storm hit Inuvik. Then the Nolands, myself, Alex White, and Jessica Wilson hung out at the airport in Aklavik because the pilot wasn't heading back to Inuvik.

Alex and Jessica, who are from Inuvik, were heading back to Inuvik. I came to learn how to run things at the house and the church. I also preached. So anyways, I woke up this morning to the house shaking...literally. The wind was very strong. It has been windy since then. So hopefully it calms down a bit by tomorrow morning so I can get back to Inuvik.

Sandy couldn't come because of babysitting. The flight leaves for Inuvik at 9a.m. and well, Snads starts babysitting between 8 and 830. She had company though. Our niece Tyanna slept over Saturday night.

I've been trying to use a calling card to call Sandy but it says the lines are busy. So I'm going to try calling again after this post. So we're heading moving over here sometime in September or the beginning of October. We'll see how the Lord moves. So keep praying.

For His purpose,

Shane Gordon.

Assisant Pastor

Hello my readers,

I haven't been up to much here in Inuvik. As my title reads, I am now an Assistant Pastor. I am getting a small salary from the church. I will be in charge of the youth and I have another opportunity to serve in another area which I am excited about. It has nothing to do with being an assistant pastor but its an opportunity to serve.

I will be involved in this place called Arctic Tern. Sandy was involved in that with young girls. Its a young offenders facility. Instead of girls its boys. It will be a one on one Bible study. Of course boys will be different from girls. The girls were very open and it was a back and forth with questions and answering.

I'm hoping it will be the same way with the boys. So I would like everyone's prayers for me to be the assistant pastor I need to be for God and to have good visits at the Arctic Tern.

For His purpose,

Shane Gordon.

Moving

Hello my readers,

Well, its official. We prayed, prayed, prayed. God moved and directed. We're moving to Aklavik for a short period of time. We'll be running the ministry for the missionary family named the Nolands. They're leaving for furlough in June. We'll be moving over the end of September beginning of October.

It going to be good training for me to run a small ministry. We'll be there until the middle of January. The reason we're going in October is for the winter months. During the summer Aklavik is a dead town. No one is there, they're out on the land at their camps. But when it gets cold, everyone is back in town.

The house the Nolands live in we'll be living in and taking care of. The owner of the house didn't want to leave the house empty during the winter. The owner didn't want the house to freeze. So that is our news.

For His purpose,

Shane Gordon.

I like to visit that place a lot. I practically live there sometimes. You should see all of the passes that have been signed to go there. Most likely my name has showed up the most on the passes to Wal-Mart.
