Day Off

This past Saturday I had most of the day off.
Some other staff members suggested 2 places that would be good for me to visit.




First was Lewis and Clark Caverns. It was pretty cool to see the stalactites, stalagmites, helictites, etc (note to self: crack open a geology book this Summer). The guided tour was 2 miles in 2 hours. Of course, there's a huge hill to walk up to get to where the tour begins. Not so easy for me to do in this elevation. But, I made it and had a great time. They only allowed flash photos in certain areas of the caverns because of the bats that live there. This rock has an imprint of a big foot.















Next place was Virginia City and Nevada City. These are old mining towns from the 1800(?)s. Many of the storefronts are in their original condition. It was fun to walk around there until it started raining. Right outside town was a cowboy church. I would definately go there for a service if it were closer to camp!













On Sunday our whole group piled into a school bus and went to Alliance Fellowship for chruch. They had a great message and music. After that we served our "Sunday Smorgasbord" (aka leftovers) lunch. It's the best way to clean out the fridge but there are soooo many dishes to wash.


Last night the Timothy and Joshua groups began a week-long Jericho walk. Yesterday was 1 time around the whole camp, praying for each activity and staff member and future campers. Tonight they will go twice, and so on for the rest of the week ending with 7 times on Saturday night.




This week we have some special guests here from a high school in Ohio. They are leading YAA's soccer camp which began this morning. There are 15 kids participating. Please be praying for their safety. Most of them are from unsaved families so you can pray that we will have opportunites to present them the Gospel.




I think that's all the updates I have right now. Email me if you would like to see more pictures.
