But because I have to leave to camp in about an hour, this will probably be a short post.
Adventures for this week:
The younger maintenance couple has their day off on Wednesday, so what did we do while they were gone? We pranked them :) We had a box from the craft shack of about 800 small toy mice, and we placed them allll over their room. On the floor, on their bed, on their couch, on the handles of drawers... any possible flat surface. It was Abu Dobby and I doing it, so with 3 of us it took about 15 min. We could not stop laughing the entire time! The next day when they were back Abu and I were so embarrassed and scared to face them, but it was so awesome!
The other great adventure was Wednesday night ( I guess Wednesday in general was just an adventure!) After flag on the rock, everyone split into their units to do Dutch Oven cookout. The overnighter spot hasn't completely melted from the snow yet, so earlier this week Abu and I found a different spot up on the road toward Clayton's Peak. (Yes, Brighton Ski Resort land). The overnighters had left that afternoon, and after about an hour of dutch oven, it began to rain. And then there was rolllling thunder that echoed on the mountains, intense lightening and before we knew it, it was hailing. So what we heard was that the overnighters up on the mountain, threw all of their stuff under trees with tarps under it, and just booked it. The truck would have to go up and get their stuff later. On the way down the mountain though, they realized the gate to the road was locked. They could walk around it, but the truck would not be able to get up to get their stuff. By some miracle Zimmy (one of the Zim sisters) happened to show up. She knew the code to the gate because she has a cabin in that area, and the truck was able to get all of the campers stuff.
While at camp, there were groups ducking for cover, and one unit's food did not even get halfway cooked. One of the Program Directors ended up taking them bagels so they would have some sort of food for dinner.
Wednesday was a crazy night, but as I lay in my bed that night looking at the ceiling I realized that sometimes in our lives what seems like a trial, is actually a tender mercy in and of itself. As hectic as everything was, Abu and I weren't stressed at all. Everything just happened to work out, and I guess it's the Lord's way of telling us that even though he sends the rain (no pun intended), he will always have that silver lining we have to look for that makes it all worth it. And the good news is, we even saw a double rainbow when it was all over ;)
Until next week!
