wow...absolutely the best word to describe this trip. the growth that happened here both physically and spiritually was super intense. the scenery was breath-taking, the support from others when the trail got rough was invigorating, and the silence from being in such a beautiful place allowed so much time to really listen for the voice and call of God.
we all split up into small groups of about seven each and we hiked together in those small groups. on the first day "team motherhood" (of which i was the umbilical cord) hiked into kwai lake and set up camp for the first night in the woods. the boys got their tent all set up just fine...but us gals had a very misbehaved tent that just didnt want to stay up, so finally Jeremiah had to come to our rescue and show us the right way to set it up :P THANKS JER! the lake was small but so pristine, and the view we had was awsome!
we had some little critters visit us too! whiskey jacks (they are birds) came and ate trail mix out of our hands...i even got one to eat some that i had in my lips, it was so cool!! on the second day we repacked out bags and headed out for the lake that some of the other small groups had stayed the night at, when we got there we all put together some small day packs and made our way up and up and up and up to the top. the climb was challanging and good for team building. i cant even describe it to you here. it was simply something you HAVE to do on your own to truly understand.
sorry that the pictures are kind of out of order up top there, i will let you all decide which ones go with which parts of the trip :D
(yeah, ill figure out that whole picture dealio for next time fo sho)
umm some prayer that i ask for this week would be for Kristy Hiede, while we were on the mountain she found out that hr grandma passed away and that she is not going to make it to the funeral so pray for comfort for her also for all the blisters and sore legs, backs, shoulders and hips that all of us have some or the other of to be healed so that we can regain our strength in time for our S.A.L.T.S trip next week!! (which by the way i am so incredibly stoked for!!) and anything else you can think of to pray for would be greatly appreciated, as of now i am super drained so i am going to turn in.
love you guys!

Hey there, glad to hear that you are all back safe and sound. Not sure if you found your box but it is up above your hung clothes towards the back. Give us a call sometime when you have time. Let us know how things are going. Love you, and have a good week. When do the TWU peeps get there? That should be fun. Auntie Michele is the nurse, so will be hiding out under the dining room. Be sure to find her and bug her. Love you and ttys.
