Update on our week at the Wilds

First, thank you so much for all the prayers and well wishes...two of our young people accepted Christ as their Savior and almost all of them have made commitments to live a closer daily walk with Him. Tonight are the closing ceremonies and we pull out of here at 6am in the morning. It has lightly rained almost every day with the hard rain happening while we were sleeping. A true blessing, it broke that horrible heat wave and wasn't so bad that any of the activities were cancelled. I have made the 106 stair climb (which is almost a straight up hill climb) every day, but today is our last day and I still haven't done it without stopping....just thankful I'm doing it LOL You know we've been busy when I never made it to the Craft Shop ....no stamping there, but the ladies that have gone made beautiful earrings! We (chaperone trip only) thoroughly enjoyed touring the Biltmore ....cannot even begin to really imagine the life they had there...flipped me out that they had a huge indoor pool, 9 ft deep at one end. But since this was before chlorine, they had to empty that 70,000 gallon pool each time there was a change from male to female swimmers....amazing! 250 rooms and we saw about 40 on the tour. My hubby loves the mountains so he has been up and out walking and taking trails each morning around 5 or 5:30 ...in the rain! This camp is truly amazing. They said there are 1500 of us here, with 1200 being campers. The preaching at both the Junior Boot Camp and Teen Activity Center has been amazing...this place is so well run ...wonderful Senior staff but the young people working here ...they are a true inspiration. Well I've gotta get... We are trying to split our time between Juniors (at one end of camp) and the Teens (at the lower end of camp....with those killer stairs!) ....really hate to see the week end...sure flew by! Hugs,
