On Monday my friend Susan became an American citizen! She's been studying for a very long time and she finally got to take her interview and do the oath ceremony. I was able to attend the ceremony in the afternoon. It was very interesting to watch all these people (about 16) become Americans. For some, it was an emotional moment. We're very proud of Susan and all the hard work she put into this, and are glad to call her a fellow American!

This is Pastor Jeff Seavey. He preached a wonderful sermon on Sunday morning! We were very glad to be able to attend the campout with LWCC this year!

Everyday we had a worship session in which we sang songs and listened to a message of some sort. Brian (who I mentioned before) asked if I would join their team. I was nervous about it because I don't know all their songs, but I joined in anyhow. It is always a pleasure to play with this group of people! They are highly talented and are always focused on praising the Lord! (from L-R: Annette, Brian, James, George and Me)

We went for a walk on Friday to explore the campground. As we were walking through the forest there was one lone flower growing there with the sun shining on it. I thought it was beautiful dispite it's unpleasant looking thorns.

We went camping with my parents to their church campout. They attend Living Water Community Church and we really enjoy the people there. On the night we arrived, there was already a campfire going in the group site so we all gathered there to roast our marshmallows. The man in the red shirt is Brian Ehline. He's the worship leader at LWCC. He's a wonderful, talented man! He played his guitar for us so we could sing songs around the campfire.

So in all the business of getting ready to go camping, I missed taking a pic on Wednesday! I think it's pretty good that I made it this far without missing a single day. I decided to take a pic of this verse because it shows that it doesn't matter how flawed I am. His power is made perfect in my weakness! Hopefully by the end of the year I can say that this was the only day I missed. I can always try again next year! This pic was actually taken on THURSDAY, but I'm using it for Wednesday.

We were just hanging out on Tuesday. I was busy getting ready to go camping for the weekend, and Daniel grabbed his pillow, towel (blankie) and doggie and climbed up in the chair next to me. He was just so cute!
