Sunday, September 14----a day full of kids

Charles, Clayton, Jeremy and Holly by the car looking at a photo album of her last year at camp.....

These are kids that came to camp several years ago...

Sunday morning we travel west toward Spring Creek and picked up 4 children for church..... Tyler, Clayton, Jayden, and Tillia Left Hand Bull. Tyler and Clayton have been coming to Lakeview CRC for the past year - enjoying Sunday School and now a little sister and brother came along. They went home full of smiles.

We don't have church in the evening because Lakeview is without a Pastor right now and so it makes for a long day. About 4:00 I called a young gal who had been in our camp group a year ago. She had called "Ms. Marlys" and said school was going good but the weekends were so boring. Marlys told Holly that we had been having kids over of and on and would she like to come some time. She said "Yes". I was thrilled to know that!!!! Holly and I hadn't gotten along very good at our last meeting (that's a long story)......and I was afraid she wouldn't want to see me........ Anyway, we decided to go to St. Francis and pick up her and her brother Clayton for the rest of the afternoon. We ended up with a car full. Another brother Jeremy came along and we then went to pick up Charles.

We had a FUN day. The boys built a catapult that threw a huge zucchini 35 feet across the yard. Holly and I hung out.....she made some flipflops and we went for a short quad ride and came upon 2 mule deer....we got so close you could see their eyelashes!!!! Holly really enjoyed the ride.

We ended the day with burgers on the grill. Jeremy is a young man full of questions.........He said he was stressed out at school and so we shared with all of them that if they have Christ in their hearts and put all their trust in him as their Savior that He will always be there for them. But they have to be willing to admit that they are sinners and come to Him to change them. He also asked...."is it OK to kiss before marriage"......WOW.....got into some real good discussions because of Jeremy. And because we were eating supper or driving in the car when he asked.......everyone heard our "advice".

Now we would ask that you put Promised Land in your prayers .....we will start tomorrow afternoon at 1:00. Thank you!!!
