Last Night at Our House

Having smores and Rebeca found the marshmellows!! I wonder how many she ate.

Sara sprained her ankle so Timothy took her in the cart to look around the camp.

We had a great last night with the team. Deborah had made the dinner and brought it over. We ate, had a sharing time and then ate smores. We will miss them all. We are thankful for all that God did.
