As you read this book about an amazing life of adventure inGods faith-fullness to His people, you will meet a wonderful lady that

I have known for many years, Luella Youngman.

I first met Luella and her now late husband, Alex, in the church

we were attending in Central Alberta. I was immediately drawn towardher intensity of prayer and prophetic style. Her relationship with Jesus

was evident in the manner in which she spoke the Word of God with

authority and knowledge. Things seemed to change somehow after

she spoke. I realized that Gods Word had gone forth with dunamis

power.

blessings I have watched as God has proven Himself to Luella.

She continues to be an encouragement and an example of

Christ-likeness to us. Although this is her story, all is not written

Chapter 1

DreamsIt was a beautiful spring day in the Canadian foothills of CentralAlberta as I rode my faithful steed over hills and along swampy lakes.

These were familiar trails for many miles around as my father was a

rancher, guide, outfitter and trapper since the early 1900s.

My life was lonely as an only child with few neighbours. In

those early days of the depression, life was simply a struggle for survival.

Our homesteading area had no churches and I was simply taught good

principles, however no Christian realities. I worked to help my parents;

and did the heavy work of a man. There was little time for the day

dreaming that teenage girls enjoy.

This sunny spring day as I was riding in search of my fathers

lost horses, my daydreaming was interrupted with a real vision. This

was a frightening experience. The vision was about a man I had met

years ago at an old-time country dance.

For years my parents played for country-dances at community

of a year, we saw each other at two more wedding dances.

Now on my ride I realized it had been five years since we had heard

of or had seen each other. As I saw his smiling face in this vision, I was

frightened by the experience. I had never heard of visions, not knowing

about the Bible or even about superstitions. However my daydreaming

took on a different train of thought. My thought was that Alexander

Youngmanwas probably married long ago, so forget this dream.

Then a little later, for the second time that day, his captivating

face was before me once again. Then I became worried, Maybe you

are cracking up, Luella. Get yourself in hand here. Go home and do

your chores!

Many miles away on a Caterpillar, breaking land, was Alex,

ambitious to make money. This had become his priority over girlfriends

for the time being. Christian Lutheran parents had raised Alex. He

knew God answered prayer, and that He existed. But that childhood

upbringing was now in the background. However this lovely spring

day, Alex sat on his Caterpillar possibly day dreaming a bit too.

SUDDENLY, he had a recollection of a girl he had met five

years ago at a wedding dance. He didnt know her name or her

whereabouts, except that her parents played for those good old-

fashioned country-dances.

Well, he resolved, maybe Ill investigate this later.

The later became sooner. His roommate, Harry (from Sundre,

Alberta), asked if Alex would drive him to see his cousin,Luella Lamb,

to her home near Caroline, Alberta.

The divine intervention of a mighty God and our creator was

beginning as Alexs dream, which follows, tried to show him.

As I was sleeping I had the same, identical dream three

different times troubling to a young boy I suddenly
