For the many of you that attended Challenge, welcome back! You were missed!While you were gone, we talked about Faith (believing in what you can't see because of what you can see), heard the story of Abraham leaving his home land, and learned Hebrews 11:1.
We also had two interesting adventures at Dolphin's Cove (yep, K-5 went on Monday and Friday). On Monday, there was an accident and Scott wound up with six stitches in his head thanks to Sean Atwater's front teeth. Both Scott and Sean are doing well and didn't miss any time at camp.
Friday, when we tried to leave Dolphin's Cove, the bus wouldn't start and we wound up coming home about 35 minutes late.
Good times. I hope you all enjoyed the conference and are eager to share Christ's love with the children.
