Pilgrims Rest Part 2

Monday morning we skipped the meeting and many kind people helped unload the rest of our cabin from the roof or went in the cabin with waiters or mud boots. The water was 8" above the floor, it was kind of strange nearly swimming in the cabin we were just living in a day before.

We told people they could leave if they wanted to. But most of the people said they wouldn't leave if we wouldn't cancel the meetings, even if we couldn't do all the activities. Everyone was so wonderfully gracious, and the week turned out well after all. One of the ladies said to me, "What better way to start off a week than to have trials that bring unity and growth in all our lives, that's what we've been praying for".   
This is our tent monday morning. If you look closely, you can see an orange boat to the right of the tent, that is where they were loading our stuff from the roof.
Unloading. We ended up staying in a cabin a few hundred yards from here.

 We were introduced to a new game called Spike Ball, it was a big hit with our family and may others.
Above is my Dad's brother playing for the first time. He came to camp for a day and spoke on Love & Respect. It was our first time having a live speaker, we really enjoyed it. Can't wait till next year when we'll have a live speaker the whole week!

This may look strange, but it's fun. We played Mission Imposible and put charcoal all over our faces.

Campfire.
We always have a time of singing and testimonies of how the Lord has worked in peoples lives through the week. It's a really nice time to hear about how the Lord has used camp to grow His people.

  1. What a blessing camp was this year! It was one of the best ones yet- even with the flood! Thank you for your hard work and investment in this edifying and encouraging ministry!
