Wedding and Lutherwood

So I dont have much time to blog, but some quick updates.....

Nile and Nicole got married May 31. It was an exciting time. The service went well and wangerin preached well, but of course the chapel sound system didnt work because it was him. The reception had wonderful food, and it was fun being the MC, but when it came time to dance there wasnt much of that...all those old folks :-). Nicole looked absolutely beautiful, and they were both beaming with happiness. I am really happy for them and wish them the best.

After the wedding I flew out from Midway to WA. It was insane getting from Valpo to Midway as the train was late, and so was the L, and I had to rush to make my flight. I got stuck in between two big guys, it was rather cramped, but I survived and finally made it.

Washington is absolutely gorgeous, although it is a good 20 degrees colder than Valpo and even the UP. Lutherwood is built on an 8mile long lake and the side of a mountain. Everyday I get to go hiking up and down a mountain, which is really hard right now for my body used to midwestern flatness.

I have played up in the trees on the high ropes course which is amazing and I am now certified to facilitate and do rescues! which hopefully I wont have to do.

there is so much more to talk about, but not enough time, so I will write more later. I'm keeping you all in my prayers, if there is anything specific you would like to be prayed for let me know. If you could pray for strength and energy as I am out here at camp that would be great! thanks
