• Who are my favorite people? My husband, my best friend; our children and their spouses who bring so much joy to my life and my parents to whom I owe so much.
• What’s your favorite food? Home cooked turkey dinner, with all the trimmings….no kitchen smell like it when it is cooking.
• What makes you smile? Family jokes….when we laugh at each other
• Which season do you love best and why? This is hard…..but I ‘ll say winter because of Christmas, (the little girl in me pops out)  and a good, old-fashioned winter blizzard  when everyone is safe inside, sometimes with just a lantern for light ( the electricity is gone because it is a really bad blizzard), lots of food to eat, and time to talk about silly things, laugh and  play games.
• How do you like to relax? Going for a walk, or watching the news ( I am a news junkie).
• When did you meet Jesus? When I was a little girl at four years. I thought the only place I could meet Jesus was at an altar so I kept going up every time there was an altar call, until someone explained the difference.

Andrea White

• Who are my favorite people? My husband, Jeff, and my twin boys, Joel & Joshua
• What's your favorite food? Chinese food and seafood
• What makes you smile? I smile when my children are happy.
• Which season do you love best and why? I love fall for two reasons. Firstly, I love it when the trees change color and everything looks so alive and pretty...it gives me a renewed appreciation for God's handiwork. Secondly, I love it when the evenings close in early.
• How do you like to relax? I like to relax by putting on my pyjamas and sitting by the fireplace with a good book. I also like to relax by spending a quiet Friday evening at home with my two children and my husband, playing boardgames, watching TV and munching on snacks.
• When did you meet Jesus? I met Jesus when I was in Grade one. A pastor came and presented a simple sermon to our school assembly and I bowed my head to my green top desk and confessed all the sins that a six year old could possibly have! The following Sunday in my church I went to the altar and made a public confession because I told my parents that I had to do this because the adults of the church weren't in my school and didn't know that I had gotten saved! I have a keen appreciation for a child's conversion because I know firsthand that God does indeed save a child and I can truly say that I never strayed from that first time of conversion, thanks to the grace of God!
