Yes, God was good

Family Camp was great. There weren't even any emergency accidents. (Last year Bryan had to go to the ER and get stitches in his head and a tetanus shot after getting "bit" by another guy on the basketball court) Though Kaitlin did come down with some nasty virus or something and spent half the weekend a little out of it in her cabin with a fever...poor thing.

Thanks to all who prayed for Bryan's talk Thursday night...he really enjoyed the chance to speak to the teens. He said it was amazing how much more you get out of the weekend when you have to spiritually prepare yourself like that. Hopefully God was able to use the talk.

The rest of the talks were amazing. We learned a lot about seeing God's goodness in everything, not just in the "good" things that happen to us. It's the uncomfortable, hard times that we are blessed and brought closer to God. As Amy Gerst (Fiechter) said, "Easy is useless! You don't learn anything in easy."

There's your short little update from the weekend. Sorry there aren't any pictures...I've gotten lazy about taking pictures lately. I'll do better this weekend. We're headed to Taylor Missouri to visit Javon at His Ranch where she's working this summer. I believe we have some traditional Taylor activities planned...such as fishing and horseback riding. It will be interesting.:)
