Well, a lot has happened since my last (long ago) post. We hosted family camp from July 3 to 6. The speaker gave really good messages about relationships. On the 4th we celebrated our country's independence with a big bbq and fireworks at night.
There were no guests here from the 7th to 11th and it was a good time for the staff to refresh and enjoy one another's company. One night we set up a make-your-own ice cream bar. Everyone got to choose their own treats to mix in, and then we enjoyed a movie together.
Last Saturday we took a trip to Townsend, MT for a play day at the lake. The local Alliance church provided lunch for us and we grilled some shish-kebabs for dinner. Packing food and snacks for 50 people is no easy task! The weather was beautiful that day and we had a lot of fun in the water.
This past Saturday I had some free time and got out to enjoy the town a little bit. Went to the farmers market, a couple of garage sales, some antique shops, the thrift store ($1.75 jeans!), and for a short hike at Hyalite Canyon. Yes, that is SNOW on the mountain top. No, I did not go that far up.
This week we have 7th to 9th graders here at camp. They are a fun and energetic bunch! There is also a group of guys spending the week backpacking in the mountains.
Personally, I just finished reading (along with my small group at home) "One Month to Live" by Kerry and Chris Shook. It was a great book about living life to the fullest and without regrets. It's available for purchase at the BIBLE HOUSE in Hawthorne.
Please continue to keep the camp in prayer, and I'll try to do better at keeping you posted with what God's doing here.
