Well, I would say that the Mission Trip was a success. Our team went down to a Camp in Bergton, Va (for those of you who didn't know). Our mission statement was to help share the Gospel through drama. We did this by building positive relationships with campers and staff as well as participate in servant projects and other camp activities. That is exactly what we did.
Our team was doing two set of skits. The first set of skits were for the older campers and the second set of skits were for the younger ones. For the older campers we did a variety of skits. One of our drama skits was called "Friends Tell Friends". It was about two girls (Leight Ann and I) who shared alot of stuff, but it wasn't until College when the one friend (me)finally told the other friend (Leigh Ann) what really matters most in her life and that was a relationship with Jesus Christ. In the scripted I continued, "You see you really do have to be careful out there because we live in a messed up world". This skit shared how much we really needed Christ to come died for us. In another skit, we shared with the campers how to Go Through Trial's GOD Style. Our team showed the campers how to do in from a water rafting course. For the little campers our team acted out some bible stories. Everything from Adam and Eve to even the story of Ester. Our team also managed to teach the younger campers some sign language (to John 3:16).
For our servant projects we did things around the camp. Everything from weeding around a major bath house to cleaning all the bugs out of the lights of the pool house. We even found a mount of baby spider while cleaning the lights. We also shredded so much paper that I think I'm going to dream about it for ages!
And last but not least. You can't forget about chopping our wood and making our supper fires. I think Edith master fire building 101. Laurel also made a pretty mean bon fire. We even got Pop Pop to chop some wood. Let me add that making spaghetti over the fire turns out really well. I really enjoy eating my food over the fire.
So all in all, the mission trip was awesome.

Spaghetti over the campfire...I think I need you to teach me how to do that!!! lol. Glad you had a good time!
The wedding was great! I had a lot of fun...they danced the cotton eyed joe at the reception so you can't go wrong there. Fortunately I had gotten flats for the reception so I didn't killer myself in the heels! lol. And as far as I know, there wasn't any Holdens getting married recently. But I'm not totally in the loop all the time so you never know.
How did your camping trip go?!!! That's exciting that you were able to do that! Watkins park is beautiful! When did you go? If it was this weekend we weren't home but if you're ever over this way you should definitely stop in and visit us at Lot 10! lol
