Just a quick postie. Not much time for Xanga lately.

Joel, Myself, Luke Collin and Stephen Casson will be starting the trek to the San Antonio Film Festival tomorrow. We are all really excited about it. Should be awesome. The first part of the week is for the academy and the second half for the festival.

  We would really appreciate your prayers for safety while we drive. Its a long trip. :) Also be praying God's blessing on the whole conference. Its really exciting to see the push for Christian media in our culture.

We're planning on leaving tomorrow and getting home on the 14th.

Thanks!

   Family camp was such an awesome time. It was so encouraging to see many godly families and catching a vision for this generation. It was so nice to have so much informal time where you could just visit or do whatever you need.
 
The volleyball tournament was so awesome. (congrats Denhollander team)

Some volleyball:



 It was really scary the first night though when at 3:00 AM in the morning we heard a loud bang in our cabin. Little Hannah-Grace had fell off the top bunk. I ran downstairs and held her for a while and it was really scary as she wasn't really responding at first. Thankfully after a while she started to answer our questions. In the morning mom and dad took her to the hospital and found out she had a broken collarbone. The next evening several people from camp all gathered around her and prayed for her. That really meant a lot to me. She is one of the sweetest little girls ever. She is doing much better now. She still has to take it easy now.

My beautiful sisters in Golden:



Some jamming:



I really enjoyed the music night on Sunday. I love seeing families make music together. :)

Here are some pics from music night:





And here are some pics of families eating at their table. :)



 On the last night a couple dozen of us pulled off a all nighter. I had never done one before. :) It took me about a week to get over it sleep wise. But it was worth it.

Pic of all the boys that were crazy enough to stay up all night :



As a lot of you probably know, on the way home about 20 km before Golden, BC we heard a loud clanking in our motor. We pulled over and it wouldn't start again. We called the tow truck. While waiting for the tow truck the Brauns, Funstons and Dirks all pulled over on their way by to see if we were OK. Especially blessed by the Dirks as they served us all some raspberry cheesecake ice cream they had bought that morning. They also helped take some of the kids into Golden. Once in Golden, we found out that our van's crank shaft had broke.

  Ben Shonwise helped round up the parts we needed the next day. We ended up staying two night in Golden and then on Wednesday morning we drove the Denhollander's van back home. David Jr. along with Byron, Kyle and Josiah Mosher drove the van out to us on Tuesday night.

We all had to walk in the rain to find supper on Tuesday night. The whole family walking through Golden under one umbrella (LOL):




Hannah and I by our hotel:



  The DenHollanders will bring our van out to Jared and Breanne's wedding and we'll trade back then. Thank you DenHollanders!

See a lot of ya'll on Saturday!
