BORN January 18, 1967 WHEN WERE YOU SAVED? I was seven years old at Daily Vacation Bible School when I asked Jesus into my heart. SPIRITUAL INFLUENCES? At camp when I was 13,  I was filled with the Holy Spirit. Teaching Vacation Bible School when I was a teenager solidified my faith. Duncan is a strong Christian man that I admire and appreciate. ABOUT YOUR FAMILY? I have wonderful parents, and grew up with seven brothers and seven sisters. I have an awesome husband, Duncan, nine beautiful children and a beautiful daughter-in-law. ROADLIFE? It's both rewarding and challenging with a bus full of children ( five are in school ). I also enjoy meeting people. MOST EXCITING ROAD MEMORIES? Believe it or not, my most memorable times are the breakdowns. I like seeing how God works things out and the faithfulness of His people. MUSICAL INFLUENCES? My father plays several stringed intsruments, my sisters and a few brothers sing and play guitar and piano. When we got together on Christmas Eve we always have a great singalong. FAVOURITE SITES? Newfoundland in the Fall. GOALS IN LIFE? I want to continue serving Jesus and raise my children to love and serve the Lord. WHEN NOT ON THE ROAD? I'm still a mother of nine kids who keep me busy. I sometimes practise music. I help Duncan renovate our house. FAVOURITE RESTAURANTS? Anything with a salad bar. FAVOURITE ARTISTS? Jeff and Sheri Easter, The Jody Brown Indian family, The Daae family, The Quists from Canada.
