Enjoying the Outdoors!

The past few days have been rainy and chilly. From what we hear on the news, the average temperature for the month of June was 5 degrees colder than normal for this time of year (so much for Global Warming!). Today's temperature is 65 degrees and the sun came out for most of the afternoon. After working on prayer letters and some French, I joined the kids outside in the yard and we played basketball, picked field-strawberries, and Kami challenged Josh to a game of one-on-one basketball (Kami lost but was so excited she scored 6 points!).

We have a couple of doctor's appointments that we have scheduled on July 9th in Jackman, Maine. While in Jackman, we have planned a family camping trip. We found a wonderful campground with 4 "remote" tent sites. We are all excited about our "wilderness" camp-out and Josh is very excited to use his new flint & steel to start the camp fire. Beth is excited about helping set up the tent and Brenna is excited about the bears (okay.....she really doesn't like the idea of camping in the woods....she is scared to death of bears invading our camp!!!).

Tomorrow, Missionary John Gibson and his family will be with us at church for the evening services. They are missionaries to the Jews in New York City. He will be preaching in English with Pastor Roy translating the services. We are looking forward to the fellowship and service.
