Calvin Crest So Far

We thought we would have internet in our house at camp but unfortunately that's not the case so blogging isn't as easy as I had hoped it would be.  Combine that with our broken computer and you get no blogging at all.  So here is a quick update about our time at camp so far.

I have gone on lots of walks with Rachel and Colby (notice the mosquito on my forehead!)


We have eaten and picked lots of blackberries


Gone on hikes in the beautiful forrest


Painted the art/music room in our house

Gone on more hikes



Had pancakes and homemade syrup for breakfast when my family was up for a visit


Took the Nickell's fishing and caught lots of fish.  Everyone caught at least one (although I missed getting a picture of Evan and his fish).





Lunch with the family


Breakfast burritos in Sherwood cooked by Sarah and Josh
It has been wonderful being in the mountains, we love the mountains and the people up here with us.  Not all of it has been good though.  On the 26th of September one of our staff members had an accident while working on the climbing wall and didn't survive.  It was a tragic accident and we all had a pretty rough week as we grieved.  We've had so many people praying for Calvin Crest and those of us on staff and have been able to take time to talk about and process what happened and that has helped a lot.  So thank you if you have been and continue to pray for healing and wisdom as we move forward.
