Climbin' that Mountain!

Hey all -

I have not heard directly from Matt, but he was able to call his wife, Shellie, for a brief conversation this morning. They do not have cell phone access out at the camp, so he was unable to connect with Shellie (or me) last night. All is well - he did not mention that anyone was sick, so I'm optomistic that God is answering prayers in that area!

Today they rode out to a "mountain of sand" for each of the campers to climb. It was not an easy feat - most made it, but a few did not. The camp theme is "You Can Do It," so this was an excercise to help them see they could do anything!

Meals are pretty much chicken and rice - you might not want to make that for their "welcome home" meal. Last night's activities were supposed to include a talent show - tonight is supposed to be a birthday celebration, which is neat, as Tommy (who is dear to my heart as his mom) is turning 17 tomorrow. But their schedule could have changed, and remember, FLEXIBILITY is key!

Marco sent pictures - I will try to upload them as a PDF - they were all in a Word document, so not anything easy for me to make "pretty." Hopefully they help you see all that they've been up to. The river/rocks area is next to the camp - it looks gorgeous!

That's it for now - they are planning to call and e-mail tomorrow (to most of you, not necessarily me!) Hopefully we'll hear directly from them on the blog!

Until then -
Wendy
