Homecoming

Jenna and Jeff returned home yesterday afternoon. They returned one day earlier than originally planned. Melissa Algrim who along with her husband, Dustin, were vital members of our church right at its beginning for several years, her father died from cancer Friday night. So Jeff cut his conference one day short to come home and be with the family. He will preach the funeral tomorrow night.

Jenna came home very very tired, but full of many stories of all the fun she had. They swam every day and did archery and went canoeing. She had an egg smashed on her head and got to "shave" her counselor. She is already planning on going next year. The camp theme was Spiritual Gifts and how sometimes you have to wait until God reveals his gift that he has "planted" in you. She came home with seeds of some kind that we are to plant and then it will be revealed what kind of seed (gift) was planted. I thought that was an excellent hands on lesson for them. Jenna has said that she thinks one of her spiritual gifts might be music as she loves to play guitar and has thought about becoming a worship leader. We will see what God has in store for her as she grows and develops.

Tomorrow will be another fun day as the girls have swimming lessons (all 3 at once!- I get to sit in peace and quiet for 40 mins!) and Jenna has guitar lessons. We will probably go swimming in the afternoon. They wanted to go today, but I felt Jenna needed some down time.

I will have Jenna give me a picture of camp that she took on her digital camera and I will post that tomorrow. (p.s. She changed her underwear 3x during a 6 day camp, well...it could be worse!---If you think that this is a really weird thing to report than-shame on you- you haven't been keeping up on my posts and you will need to read some past ones to catch up!---Oh, and also. Thanks to all that sent cards and notes, she had to sing every single day!!! One day she got 7 cards!!!)

Have a good one!
