Hello again! Our youth group just spent the last week at the Flathead Lutheran Bible Camp in Montana. There we split into two groups...one for sailing and one for rafting. We had four counselors who guided us during our time there. Their names were Logan, Amanda, Jeff, and Kristin. The rafters had a wonderful time out on the North Fork river, seeing a bear, a moose, and a few bald eagles on their journey down. The trip also included many water fights and games; we all just had a great time. The sailors learned how to sail and they stayed on islands along the way. Sleeping on the boat and looking up at the stars was very special and memorable. Our food consisted of dry foods such as oatmeal, pita bread sandwiches, and different things like chicken curry, pasta, and chili macaroni for dinner.When the two groups reunited after the trips, we all went on the high ropes course which challenged many of us. For others it was simple and easy. The next day we all went rafting together and we went through some intense rapids and after that we headed back to camp. We prepared to leave for the next day and drove out to a laundromat to clean our clothes. We then met up with two of our counselors Amanda and Jeff for dinner at a delicious pizza place and we said our goodbyes to them. We went back to the camp and packed up the bus getting ready to leave and we woke up at 4:00 and headed on our way. After driving through Montana, Idaho, and all of Washington we finally made it to Issaquah where we went to dinner and then were treated to ice cream by............We went back to the church and did devotions and then went to bed. This past week was very eventful and unforgettable!
