The Wilds-Day 2

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!
