Wow! What a day. We have learned so much about God today
 and had so much fun. The weather has been perfect. Actually,
 it has been too cool for Sister Melanie! Toxaway Creek was a 
bit cold for tubing. And it didn't help that Brother Joel went tubing
 with Charity, Courtney, and myself and everyone knows that he
 can be a little mischievous. Three girls got a lot wetter than they 
had intended! Courtney had more adventure today than she had 
intended, but we'll save that story for when we get home. We have 
to keep ya'll in suspense over something. The boys had a great time
 at the lake today. I think that Nicholas and Austen enjoyed the "Blob"
 a whole lot. Colton and Will got to hike to the 1st Falls today and 
Sara enjoyed games with her team. 
The pictures above are of the morning chapel service at
 Junior Boot Camp. The kids learned about running the Christian 
race. Will was anticipating going to the lake next and had his
 beach towel around his shoulders. Will, Colton, and Brother Joel
 had a great time at "The Wilds Water Wars" this afternoon.
The teens are learning about Joseph in their morning chapels. 
This goes great with the sermons Brother Joel has been preaching 
lately. Tonight we heard a tremendous message by Brother Ferrell 
on the life of Samson. I may have to get a copy of this sermon to 
bring home and pass around. It was great.
Brother Joel and myself went to seminars this morning by the 
camp director and his wife. It was a great to get to sit and listen 
to Mrs. Collier. Brother Joel bought me the book she has written
 last summer when I didn't get to come to camp. The book was 
excellent and is still helping me and I'm thankful I got to listen
 to author speak on the subject. 
I need to go to bed now. It's late and we get up early and go hard all day. Keep praying!
 
Sounds like Sis. Melanie is getting a good dose of "church" that she missed out on the other day! I am so glad you are able to get some respite...even if it is just a little while! We are praying for you guys.
