Hello friends near and far!
What a privledge it is to be writing this to you, letting you know I made it through today's hike just fine! We started out to Blue Mountain this morning at about 9 AM, and got there at about 10:30 AM, and started our snowshoe hike up it. Blue Mountain is signifcantly higher than Oak Mountain, and it took a lot longer to reach the summit. However, there was a really cool fire tower at the top that we got to see, and boy was it cold! It was about 0 - 5 degrees at the top including wind chill.
We hiked back down the mountain and got back down to the vans at about 1:30 PM, and got back to camp at around 3 PM and had a quick debriefing session about the hike, the group, personal growth, and our selected leaders (Tim and Becky) of the day.
Speaking of leaders of the day, Erin and I have been selected to be leaders of the day next Wednesday, when we do some nordic skiing. This will be interesting, only because I have not done a lot of outdoor cross country skiing, so it is both mine and Erin's job to lead the group next Wednesday afternoon as we take to the cross country ski trail. Also Wednesday morning, I will be sharing my testimony before the day, and Erin will be sharing a select bible scripture. So you can be praying for that as well.
This afternoon, I drove my car (oh yeah, it started this morning which was a tremendous blessing!) to the Speculator Auto store and bought (no, not a new car battery) a new headlight because I realized my front headlight wasn't working. So I put that in after I bought the bulb, and drove over to the Speculator Department Store and browsed through their touristy items they had. It was a pretty cool store. Speculator is such a small town, and it seems everyone knows everyone else here. Some people have grown up here in Speculator their whole lives. Incredible!
Well, now I am getting hungry, dinner is right around the corner, and I got much reading to catch up on. I saw that the Hartford Wolfpack will be visiting the Albany River Rats in the end of March! Very exciting! I am seeing if I can get that night off to go and see the game. That would be awesome!
Hope all is well where everyone is! Keep warm! Talk to you all soon!
In Christ,
