May 27, 2011

Today is such a beautiful day. It would be perfect were it not for the swarms of black flies we get out here. But they're only for a season. We'd take summer + bugs any day over the cold winter months!
Today I've been plugging away at youth registrations- entering them into the computer, calling parents, balancing the accounts, mailing out confirmations. And there's still so much to do! We've probably received 30+ registrations in the past week. And we're praying we get many more. For the past 1 1/2 weeks, I've been filling in for Kerra, who just got married and is now on her honeymoon. Next week she'll be back in the office and then Jason and I can focus more on raising our support.
Today Jason went to help Dan (in adventure ministries) build a dock out at the Flambough River. He's been gone since 8am this morning and probably won't get back until later this evening.
Memorial Day Family camp is this weekend! Lots of families arrive tonight. Jason and I aren't teaching this year (like we did last), because we don't have all our support in, but this weekend we will be helping Diane in her class with the elementary kids. Busy weekend for everyone!
Starting on Monday we'll start prepping for our church visit next weekend. We've been generously given 5-7 minutes during the worship service and 45 minutes during the Sunday School service. What a blessing! We're praying God impresses the desire on more people's hearts next weekend to give to what we'll be doing here at camp. We'd still love to be able to serve full-time here this summer.
Gotta head home, eat some supper, and call a friend...

Praise God!!

Prayer answered: we have another church supporting us! We're so pumped. We'll be sharing with another in two weekends and are looking forward to that. Nerve-wrecking, but exciting.

Yesterday we planted some veggies in our small garden. I hope they pop up soon. And I sure as heck hope they produce something for us!
