It has been a few weeks since I have been able to post any updates; needless to say that it has been a busy few weeks! The 4th of July weekend (my birthday) came up quickly and Mike's mom and dad came up to visit. It was a great weekend of fun and play. We even drove up to Bayfield, Wisconsin which is located right on Lake Superior. It was a beautiful day!
Since then, Mike has been very busy working with students as they learn how to rock climb. He has had great patience with the students and has even enjoyed being able to build a new part of the rock wall. I have enjoyed being able to learn more about rock climbing and I have even become a better climber!
This last weekend, Mike and I lead a canoe trip for the Big Brothers organization. We had a wonderful time working together as well as keeping everyone safe. We had beautiful weather, with the exception of one evening storm. I am proud to say that I did not have any major problems, in fact, I have grown to really enjoy life on the river. There is something very precious about being away from the chaos of the world. Mike had a great opportunity to talk with one of the leaders from Big Brother about Christ for the majority of the trip. God gave Mike great opportunities to answer questions as the leader was a religions major in college and since then has had many questions about Christian issues. Praise God that he gave Mike the wisdom and words to speak.
Please be praying that God would give Mike strength and confidence as Mike continues to be stretched emotionally, spiritually, and physically. As for me, right now I am visiting family in Omaha, Nebraska. Please pray that I would have safe travels back to camp next week!
