Camp - one of the better things in life

Ozark 2 was a great time! We love the fellowship, spiritual encouaragement, activities, and for me not having to cook all week!

Fellowship

These are some of the many people we enjoyed:
Phil and Martha, grandparents are the best and our children have the best!
Nate and Rachel and our adorable nephews, Micah and Ezra.
Kim Dillon and one of Leyla's favorite friend's Ana, we had such fun catching up as we crossed paths for one day in between camps. They will soon be adopting a baby girl, Ruth Colean! We will have to plan a trip to CO to meet her.
Caleb and Anna who stopped Sat night till Sun afternoon, what a happy married couple they are!
Andrew and Holly with sweet little James, who was all smiles.
Josh and Brook they were only there a couple days, but Josh's t-shirts kept us laughing
Rory Baily with her cuties, Jacob and Joel
Abby Chesney, Leyla loved her little girl, Cami. Michael was a great bug collector. Her hubby couldn't make it, maybe next year.
Josh and Rachel Chesney She is prego and due in about 6 wks. with a girl to be named Addison Rebecca
Glen and Joy Thompson their 2 girls are Leyla and Chloe's age, Katara and Sammilayne they had a great time together.
The Moffitts, yes they were all there, except Becky. The cousins were such a help in entertaining the kids, so nice.

Spiritual Encouragement:

Sam Thorpe from GA was the general session speaker. He spoke on the importance of the Breaking of Bread. It was refreshing to be reminded of our role as priests and how Christ is so worthy of our worship. We have the priviledge and responsibility to remember His death through the simple yet profound symbols of the bread and wine.

Grady Dollar from TX taught an elective on prayer. Some of his points were:
1. Pray with an open Bible, pray the Word. Jn. 5:14-15
2. Serious prayer is noted for it's transparency. Dan. 9:5-6
3. Serious prayer always has the glory of God at stake. Dan 9:17-19
4. Serious prayer is communion with God, it brings revelation, understanding and wisdom. Dan. 9: 20-23
5. Serious prayer gets results.

Activities:

We swam everyday considering the upper 90 degree weather. One day we did a tube float down the river. The kids were a little timid, but were fine in all their floaties. Upon entering, Leyla flipped out about the fog she saw in the river (stirred up mud) and of course didn't want to get her shoes dirty. ;)

Leyla loved going to morning kids classes. Her favorite was doing the craft, hopefully she learned something too.

Andy and Glen got squashed in 2 on 2 volleyball. Those Chesney boys have another thing coming next year!

Andy helped cook all afternoon one day. We served a meal and pawned the kids off to g'ma and g'pa. Next year we hope to help out more. Those Lindamoods sure work hard in that kitchen!

So if you want to go to camp here's more details http://www.turkeyhillranch.com. We are a little bias because afterall it's where we fell in love... Jenica

Jenica, did you post?! It sounds like you had a wonderful time! I love, love, love camp and miss being there. We got to go to Camp Horizon for a long weekend in May, and it was a really good time. Love to you!

Nate and I were just talking about how much we missed camp and couldn't wait to bring our future little boy there! How much fun! I am so glad that you had a wonderful time, camp memories are some of my best memories growing up.

Makes me wish we had gone! Maybe next year. I grew up going, and I made so many good friends that way. I'm a little biased about Turkey Hill too, b/c that's where I got saved. The evening meetings at Ozark, man....they can be fire and brimestone! :)
