Oops again... its been another month. If you can't tell, things have been busy. The students are experiencing a class-heavy month, with worldview taking center stage. Yesterday we attended the film

 "God's Not Dead" in Wausau and that provided some good discussion. Please pray for the remainder of the year. There is much to discuss and debrief. The time will slip away quickly. The students are already getting emotional. 

 A few updates:

 

  

Ah the canoe... I am going to have to admit that this has become a pretty major disappointment this year. The hope was that the long monotonous task would end with the glorious unveiling of a beautiful boat and a trip with the group in the canoe. Unfortunately, despite my pleas, bribes, threats and nagging, they lost interest and now it is probably not going to be possible to finish the boat before they leave. Jesse and I will finish the boat, and it will still be great. People will marvel at the size of it and enjoy it. We just won't be able to say that the Trailhead students built it, and that is sad for me.

I haven't put an AWANA picture up here before, but you should all know that the students have helped weekly in the local churches and this has been a HUGE blessing. This is Tyler Morecraft helping the kids do some kind of a dancy, songy thing. I have actually been quite impressed with the way the young men have stepped out of their comfort zones to assist in this way.

Charlie Boy in his favorite spot. Hanging in the swing.

God Bless!
