Busy busy busy....

Hi everyone. another week gone bye. i have been very busy but in a good way. still havin a blast and learning lots. :O) this last weekend was the best ever. saturday we went on a hike up a deep canyon to a lake called hanging lake. it was a very steep climb but very beautiful at the top. i stuck some of the pics on my facebook. sunday i woke up really early and went to church and practiced with the worship band. :O) i was there for both services and right after we had to rush and change, eat and zip out to the woods where we had a very neat excercise set up.we did it in our family groups. my family group went in second and right away strange thing started to happen. the staff tied my hands together and gave a huge log to another person in my group. two girls in my group had thier legs tied together, two other had a even bigger log to carry around. lol. at this point i was confused. they told us we needed to find the word of God and the spirit of God somewhere in the forest. we headed out and came across someone who was kind and helpful and started telling us that he could carry our burdens. we all realized he was supposed to be Jesus. we all started laying our burdens at his feet and we were set free. :O) lol. it was a fun exercise. we continued into the forest and came across red markers on some trees. we found a little note on it and it said it was the blood of Christ so we followed it. it ended on top of a rock ridge and it over looked the whole valley. beautiful view. and at the edge was a box that had The Word of God written on it. we opened it and it had some verses in it and a bible and a map. the map showed everything that was in the forest that we needed to find. it showed some lost people and spots that had clues. we continued to each one and at each lost person we had to figure out their physical need and then their spiritual need. once we found it we did something about it. pretty much like a practice witnessing thing. it was fun. we were romping around for about 5 hours in the forest. at the end of the trek we all snacked and talked about the whole thing.

that was my weekend. as far as my job is concerned its going great. its fun. i still want you all to continue to pray for Dana, Alison, Ali, Jason, Paul, and Sharon.
