Mitch and I returned from the senior high retreat last friday. It was an amazing week filled with wonderful fellowship, spiritual rejuvination and tons of time enjoying Gods beautiful creation in northern Montana!
The first day we were there we went river rafting on the Flathead river (the river that A River Runs Through It was filmed on).
We also spend part of a day cliff jumping at a nearby lake. It was such a beautiful day, and the water was the perfect temperature!

On the third day that we were there we spent the day in Glacier National park. It reminded me so much of Alaska in some ways, and had a beauty all its own in another way. We had moutnain goats come right up to us as we were hiking, and even got to have a snow ball fight on the last day of July!

As the month of August has come we are reminded of our time left here. We have been so blessed by our time spent here so far and we cannot believe that it is winding down. We are helping with our church's VBS this week, and next week we hope to spend most of it with friend and family before we head back to Boise in preparation to fly back to Ontario. We will be back in Durham two weeks from today! It is SO crazy how the time has flown by! We greatly look forward to the rest of our time here, and we cannot wait to return to Ontario so we can begin our training.
We are waiting on news from our church here as to in what way they will be willing to partner with us as we train, and then serve with NTM. Please join with us in praying as we wait for a response from the elder team. We are thankful to be a part of the body of Christ here, and are blessed by their willingness to partner with us. :)
