Summer Summary

We had sooo much stuff going on this summer, that of course I never updated on, so I want to sum up the big events and post some cool pictures.
The last week of June, we were the directors of the annual reservation church camp. We introduced some new, fresh ideas and I think everyone had a blast. Some exciting things were camp t-shirts, minute to win-it games, splitting into 4 teams to do everything from pray, memorize verses and play field games. We also tie-dyed t-shirts, had a volleyball tournament, and of course had great Bible classes for all ages. We had 85 in attendance of all ages.

Immediately after returning from church camp, we had a work group from Denver come and work their tails off in the trailer and around the building. They made some real progress. We also did a lot of hiking with them and devotionals. Here is a pic of a devotional after a short hike.


In the beginning of July, we had an opportunity to take a short trip to Phoenix where Nick's mom and step-dad were vacationing. Later in July, we had another work group come from Phoenix for a whole week. They did some work around the trailer and advertised for our VBS coming up the following week.

The last full week of July was our VBS, put together by a group from Ft Worth, Texas. They did all the teaching and brought all the materials, which was a true blessing.



August 1st, we left for a loong trip to visit family, supporters, and attend Polishing the Pulpit in Tennessee. We were gone for about 3 1/2 weeks. It was a blessing and we came back recharged and ready to get back into the work. Here are pictures of our nieces:
