BUT FOUR DIED VERY YOUNG, SO 
THERE WAS ELEVEN OF US LEFT

00:00:47.901 --> 00:00:51.643

MIDDLE, MIDDLE CHILD.

BUT NOT ANY THING CLOSE 
TO FLUENT. 
Rita: YES

00:01:14.767 --> 00:01:24.643
Terry: WE WERE RAISED 
CATHOLIC SO MY DAD WAS VERY 
DEVOUT FOR US

00:01:24.667 --> 00:01:29.343
HE MADE US PRAY AND HE MADE 
US GO TO CHURCH AND STUFF 
LIKE THAT EH.

00:01:29.367 --> 00:01:34.610
AND WE WENT TO A DAY SCHOOL 
TILL GRADE SIX AND THEN WE 
WENT TO BOARDING SCHOOL,

00:01:34.634 --> 00:01:40.944
SO I WENT TO BOARDING SCHOOL 
FOR WELL TWO YEARS IN 
WILLIAMS LAKE AREA

00:01:40.968 --> 00:01:44.043
AND THEN WENT UP TO PRINCE 
GEORGE FOR HIGH SCHOOL.

00:01:44.067 --> 00:01:47.276
SO I WENT TO MAYBE ABOUT FIVE 
YEARS OF BOARDING SCHOOL

00:01:47.300 --> 00:01:55.976
AND THEN WENT TO THE PUBLIC 
SCHOOL. EXPERIENCED A LOT OF 
RACISM IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOL.

COPE WITH THAT?

SOMETIMES I DIDN'T HANDLE 
IT VERY GOOD, 
I LET IT BEAT ME DOWN BUT

00:02:07.534 --> 00:02:12.677
WHAT I LIKED ABOUT ALL OF 
THAT IS THAT IT SEEMS LIKE 
WHEN YOU'RE IN A PLACE

00:02:12.701 --> 00:02:17.376
LIKE THAT OR IN A SITUATION 
LIKE THAT THERE'S ALWAYS 
A HANDFUL OF PEOPLE

BIT AROUND WILLIAMS LAKE

00:02:58.567 --> 00:03:05.543

I WASN'T ACADEMIC.

AND THEY KIND OF SET ME 
IN A LINE FOR SOMETHING

00:03:44.634 --> 00:03:48.643
BUT MY DREAM WAS ALWAYS 
TO BE A TEACHER SO AFTER 
I MOVED HERE,

00:03:48.667 --> 00:03:53.009
BILL AND I STARTED A LIFE 
TOGETHER AND MY SON WAS 
STARTING SCHOOL.

00:03:53.033 --> 00:03:59.043
I WENT TO HIS SCHOOL WITH HIM 
AND I STARTED VOLUNTEERING

00:03:59.067 --> 00:04:02.610
JUST A COUPLE HOURS A DAY 
MAYBE, AN HOUR A DAY

00:04:02.634 --> 00:04:11.043
I DID THAT FOR THE FIRST TWO 
YEARS OF HIS SCHOOL LIFE AND 
AFTER THAT

00:04:11.067 --> 00:04:16.810
I STARTED APPLYING FOR LIKE 
JUST PART TIME WORK,

A READING, REMEDIAL READING

00:04:23.200 --> 00:04:25.577
-I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY CALL 
IT BACK THEN.

00:04:25.601 --> 00:04:30.376
SO I DID THAT FOR A YEAR AND 
THEN AFTER THAT 
I APPLIED AS A T.A.

00:04:30.400 --> 00:04:31.176
UP AT ONE OF THE 
BANDS SCHOOLS

00:04:31.200 --> 00:04:37.210

I ENDED UP STAYING THERE FOR 
TEN YEARS.

SIDE OF THE STORY ABOUT BILL.

Terry: WHEN I LEFT 
MY RESERVE

00:11:43.234 --> 00:11:48.643
ALMOST EVERY YOUNG PERSON, 
YOUNG GUY I GUESS

00:11:48.667 --> 00:11:54.777
TO BE SPECIFIC THAT WENT TO 
SCHOOL WITH ME AND GRADUATED 
AND EVERYTHING,

00:11:54.801 --> 00:11:57.777
WENT BACK TO THE RESERVE THEY 
GOT INTO DRINKING A LOT AND

00:11:57.801 --> 00:12:02.443
I LOOKED AT THAT AND I SAID, 
"THAT ISN'T WHAT I WANT FOR 
MYSELF."

00:12:02.467 --> 00:12:09.043
AND SO WHEN I MET BILL THE 
PART THAT DREW ME TO HIM IS 
BECAUSE HE HAD GOTTEN A

00:12:09.067 --> 00:12:13.877
APPRENTICESHIP WITH THE 
MERRITT HERALD AT THAT TIME,

00:12:13.901 --> 00:12:17.109
IT'S A NEWSPAPER IN TOWN. 
RIGHT FROM HIGH SCHOOL AND SO

00:12:17.133 --> 00:12:20.276
FROM HIGH SCHOOL HE STARTED 
TO WORK AS A PRINTER

00:12:20.300 --> 00:12:23.343
IN MY OWN HEART WHEN I LEFT 
HOME I SAID,

00:12:23.367 --> 00:12:27.376
"I'M NEVER GOING TO MARRY 
ANYBODY THAT DOESN'T HAVE 
ANY AMBITION OR WHATEVER."

00:12:27.400 --> 00:12:33.109
SO WHEN I MET BILL IT WAS 
LIKE I COULDN'T BELIEVE THAT 
HE WAS ACTUALLY WORKING,

00:12:33.133 --> 00:12:38.510
WORKING FULL TIME AND 
PURSUING SOMETHING 
AS A YOUNG MAN.

00:12:38.534 --> 00:12:44.610
SO WE STARTED A RELATIONSHIP 
TOOK A COUPLE YEARS FOR US TO 
REALLY COMMIT TO ANYTHING.

00:12:44.634 --> 00:12:51.109
RIGHT? BUT DURING THAT TWO- 
YEAR PERIOD MY SISTER CAME 
TO THE LORD AND

00:12:51.133 --> 00:12:57.844
I WAS WORKING OUT OF TOWN. 
HE WOULD GET HER TO COME 
OVER AND PICK ME UP

00:12:57.868 --> 00:13:02.043
FROM WHERE I WAS AND I GUESS 
SHE WOULD TALK TO HIM.

00:13:02.067 --> 00:13:04.910
SO HE STARTED CALLING THEM, 
"THE GOOD PEOPLE."

00:13:04.934 --> 00:13:09.243
AND I DIDN'T REALLY 
UNDERSTAND THAT UNTIL 
LATER ON.

00:13:09.267 --> 00:13:13.910
SHE STARTED REALLY SHARING 
THE GOSPEL WITH US AND FOR ME 
IT WAS LIKE

00:13:13.934 --> 00:13:18.210
I GREW UP CATHOLIC AND I WAS 
LOOKING AT HER IT WAS LIKE,

00:13:18.234 --> 00:13:20.844
"WHAT ARE YOU CHANGING 
YOUR RELIGION KIND OF?

00:13:20.868 --> 00:13:23.877
I HAVE MY OWN RELIGION 
SO DON'T TRY TO PREACH 
THAT TO ME."

00:13:23.901 --> 00:13:27.443
Rita: WHEN YOU FIRST HEARD 
SOMEONE TALKING ABOUT 
THE LORD,

00:13:27.467 --> 00:13:28.777
WHAT DID THAT DO 
TO YOU?

00:13:28.801 --> 00:13:34.976
Bill: I COME FROM 
AN ABSOLUTELY 
NON RELIGIOUS BACKGROUND,

00:13:35.000 --> 00:13:38.310
LIKE MAYBE MY MOTHER MIGHT 
HAVE BEEN AN ANGLICAN.

00:13:38.334 --> 00:13:42.009
I DON'T BELIEVE MY DAD WAS 
ANYTHING RELIGIOUS,

00:13:42.033 --> 00:13:44.910
HE WAS KING 
OF THE COWBOYS

00:13:44.934 --> 00:13:51.910
HE WAS LIKE A TOUGH GUY AND 
HE EXPRESSED HIS TOUGHNESS 
IN EVERY WAY.

00:13:51.934 --> 00:13:55.743
LIKE SAY I GOT A HEART OF 
STONE OR WHATEVER, OKAY DAD.

00:13:55.767 --> 00:14:02.477
BUT I DIDN'T HAVE A 
BACKGROUND IN RELIGION LIKE 
RESIDENTIAL SCHOOL,

00:14:02.501 --> 00:14:09.043
THERE WAS NO HATRED OF JESUS. 
LIKE I SEEN A LITTLE BIT OF 
ANGLICAN, MORMONISM

00:14:09.067 --> 00:14:12.043
MAYBE A LITTLE BIT OF 
CATHOLIC AT A DISTANCE,

00:14:12.067 --> 00:14:14.810
AND IT WAS LIKE A FOG TO ME.

00:14:14.834 --> 00:14:19.743
BUT THE SHARING THAT GOD 
LOVED ME

00:14:19.767 --> 00:14:24.810
AND HAD A PLAN FOR MY LIFE 
WAS QUITE A BIT DIFFERENT.

00:14:24.834 --> 00:14:28.743
Conrad: FROM THIS BOOK 
YOU'LL KNOW FOR SURE 
THAT GOD LOVES YOU

00:14:28.767 --> 00:14:31.677
AND THAT HE HAS A PLAN FOR 
YOUR LIFE.

00:14:31.701 --> 00:14:33.877
FOR EXAMPLE, 
JESUS SAYS IN JOHN 3:16,

00:14:33.901 --> 00:14:38.577
"FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD 
THAT HE GAVE HIS 
ONE AND ONLY SON,

00:14:38.601 --> 00:14:45.777
THAT WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM 
SHALL NOT PERISH BUT HAVE 
ETERNAL LIFE."

00:14:45.801 --> 00:14:49.976
DO YOU KNOW THAT WE'RE ALL 
PERISHING BECAUSE OF OUR SIN?

00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:54.877
BUT GOD DOESN'T WANT THAT TO 
HAPPEN TO ANYONE OF US.

00:14:54.901 --> 00:15:00.076
SO HE SENT HIS SON TO DIE ON 
THE CROSS FOR OUR SIN,

00:15:00.100 --> 00:15:02.976
AND THREE DAYS LATER HE ROSE 
FROM THE DEAD

00:15:03.000 --> 00:15:07.143
TO PROVE THAT GOD IS PLEASED 
WITH WHAT HE HAS DONE.

00:15:07.167 --> 00:15:12.043
THAT'S WHY WHEN WE PUT OUR 
FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST

00:15:12.067 --> 00:15:15.109
WE'RE SAVED FROM SPENDING 
ETERNITY IN HELL.

00:15:15.133 --> 00:15:21.176
AT THE SAME TIME WE START A 
NEW RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD.

00:15:21.200 --> 00:15:25.276
THE BIBLE SAYS, 
"TO ALL WHO RECEIVED HIM,

00:15:25.300 --> 00:15:27.109
TO THOSE WHO BELIEVED 
IN HIS NAME,

00:15:27.133 --> 00:15:32.410
HE GAVE THEM THE RIGHT TO 
BECOME THE CHILDREN OF GOD."

00:15:32.434 --> 00:15:35.076
IN SHORT, 
GOD BECOMES OUR FATHER.

00:15:35.100 --> 00:15:40.109
HE LOVES US AND TAKES CARE OF 
US AS A FATHER DOES.

00:15:40.133 --> 00:15:42.944
ARE YOU LONGING FOR THIS KIND 
OF RELATIONSHIP?

00:15:42.968 --> 00:15:48.477

THEN TURN TO JESUS. 
HE'S THE ONLY WAY TO GOD.

THAT SAVED A WRETCH LIKE ME

00:27:36.234 --> 00:27:44.343
I ONCE WAS LOST 
BUT NOW I'M FOUND

00:27:44.367 --> 00:27:56.109
WAS BLIND 
BUT NOW I SEE SO CLEARLY

00:27:56.133 --> 00:28:04.143
HALLELUJAH, GRACE LIKE RAIN 
FALLS DOWN ON ME

00:28:04.167 --> 00:28:15.376
HALLELUJAH, ALL MY STAINS ARE 
WASHED AWAY, WASHED AWAY

00:28:15.400 --> 00:28:24.510
'TWAS GRACE THAT TAUGHT MY 
HEART TO FEAR

00:28:24.534 --> 00:28:32.410
AND GRACE MY FEARS RELIEVED

00:28:32.434 --> 00:28:41.510
HOW PRECIOUS DID THAT 
GRACE APPEAR

00:28:41.534 --> 00:28:49.434
THE HOUR I FIRST BELIEVED
