Today we were sorry to bid our new friends farewell! We certainly enjoyed getting to know them. Silent Thunder is a band from Bear River, Nova Scotia who's ministry objective is to share the gospel of Jesus Christ through song. They spent several nights with us and were an invaluable help in many of our pre-camp projects! Thanks again! Before they departed we shared a few minutes together in the word and in prayer, it was an encouragement to all of us to be able to share together.
Afterwards, Marcia and Deanna headed into the city today to pick up the remaining groceries for camp! Meanwhile back at the ranch, Ben and I spent the day putting the finishing touches on the sign and beginning work on the garden at it's base! We built a stone wall around it's base as a border for the garden and will plant some Hosta's tomorrow! While piling rocks, Ben was attacked by a vicious serpent (pictured below)... but take heart... he is well.
Tomorrow promises to be a fun day, Kevin and I will be heading to Canadian Tire for the big shopping spree. Thanks to everyone's generous donations we have over $1150.00 to spend on necessities for the camp... watch for a video coming soon to a blog near you!
Ben defeats the serpent...
