Hi all! We have come to our last day in Munising and Au Train. It was a busy, fun, lots of work kind of day! This morning the kids took one last swim in Boot Lake - it was 51 degrees! Ouch! They really didn't seem to mind, at least until they had to walk up the hill to the cabins dripping wet!
While they were freezing themselves, Debbie and I took a few loads of laundry - 10 washers to be exact - to start at the laundry mat. After lunch 5 kids and I went back to the laundry to fold and pack up while the rest went on to VBS. VBS was great today. We actually had 1 more student than teens! We had 18 kids there. It all went well, but as always, the kids were very sad to see it end. We are so proud of them all! We all have learned so much this week - adults included. I think the most valuable lesson we have learned was about judging people before we have all the facts. We are warned about judging in scripture, but God gave us a real life chance to learn it first hand this week. We'll tell you all about it when we get home. For those of you who are familiar with Dr. Eggrich's "bus ride" story, you will know what I am talking about.
After VBS, the kids wanted to swim (still freezing) and play volleyball at Lake Superior one last time. It was the fastest trip to the beach I have ever witnessed! We didn't have to ask twice when it was time to leave! Not to mention, we were on our way to enjoy a fresh Lake Superior whitefish dinner at a local restaurant. Delicious!! Michelle and PJ, Debbie tried a Muldoon's pastie. She said it was "okay, but she hasn't acquired the taste yet!"
We are making a quick stop here at the church to send you all one last post, then it is time to go back to Boot Lake to begin putting the explosions back into the suitcases. Michelle and PJ, again, you know exactly what I'm talking about! lol!!! Tomorrow it's off to Mackinac Island for a day of biking and shopping. We can hardly wait!! Then we'll be making the long 12 hour trip back on Saturday.
Thank you all for all of your prayers for us this week. God has been so very good to us! There is so much to tell, I don't think we could remember it all. But, it is embedded in the kids hearts and minds for all eternity. Now we pray that what they have learned and experienced this week will be used of God to become life changing!! We'll see you all in church bright and early Sunday morning! Can't wait to be back with our family at FBC!!
Love to all!
