Another Satisfied Customer

Thursday was a pretty cool day here at Snowbird.  We got to finish the project we began at the beginning of the week.  The weather was wonderful as we finished the last run of the ramp and put on the last coat of paint.  I cannot tell you what a blessing it was when Mrs. Dockery and her daughter came out to take a group picture with us.  Our kids as well as adults were so touched by her sweet spirit.  She was a little emotional herself at the act of kindness and she fully understood our motive of serving Christ by serving her.  We took a few moments to gather around her and pray God's blessing over her.  Just as we were getting ready to load up on the bus and leave, she took a walk down the ramp and proclaimed, "It works perfectly".  Isn't it just like Christ to use a sweet little old widow to bless a group of folks that were there for the sole purpose of blessing her!

Since we finished early we had some free time and went to visit a local hangout called Party Time.  It is an ice cream shop that we all rather enjoyed.  Many of our kids participated in some of the on campus activities when we returned such as the climbing tower, a couple of "extreme" swings and other things.

Our worship service last night was outdoors and included a very powerful skit that depicted the return of Christ.  The use of the horses, costumes and other effects made this a very powerful and compelling drama.  We ended the night by spending some time in the Prayer Chapel.  This was so far my favorite part of the trip. (except for the climb to get there, we are in the mountains!)  It was a chance to pray at specific "stations" fro everything from missionaries to family members.  Words will not do justice in describing this.

Needless to say it was very late when we went to bed but God's continues to provide sufficient rest and restoration.  Many of our guys got up early this morning to go on a 2 hour hike with one of our counselors before breakfast. After breakfast we will depart for our rafting trip which everyone is very excited about.

I had an opportunity to spend some one on one time with a couple of our kids yesterday and hear from them how God is moving in their heart on this trip.  I would ask that you continue to pray for each of us. I do believe that there is still some work to be done.  Please pray that some barriers that still exist with a couple of our students will be broken down.  Pray for healing in the hearts of a couple of others.  Pray for energy and strength for us old people as we strive to lead our students.  Thanks for interceding for us.

Waiting on Him,
