We just got back from our retreat which was amazing and fun, we got there Saturday and spent the night, leaving after lunch on Sunday. We got there around 11:30am had lunch which we had packed the night before and then set up our room which was a covered wagon!
The retreat was at a ranch set up by our staff and allowed by a very generous ranch owner that frequently gives both the opportunity to spend time on his property and financially to the Titus project.
After eating I got some much needed girl time with the other girls on Titus and Jeff and the boys went off to shoot some bows and arrows.
When they came back we went in search of the horses we heard were there and we found them! There were three of them and they were so sweet. The one I am petting tried to nibble on my hand.
As you can see, we had some fun with the skins from the animals that our host had taken down.
It was a great time and we were so thankful to have a day of rest after the crazy first week of Titus. That is until Saturday night when we started getting calls from the base about a fire which is right above the base in Lakeside, MT.
Below are the pictures taken from our base, as you can see the fire is very close and for a while they were not sure if they would have to evacuate the whole town. They are working hard to ensure the safety of the people in the town. Please pray for their safety as well as for the safety of the people whose homes are near the fire.
We spent a better part of the night praying and worshiping, coming back to the base today we found that However now they have been able to beat back the fire 20%. However there is still a danger. Below are more pictures and a link that talks more about it.
Some highlights of this week are that we have to prepare a 20 minute sermon this week, which is due on Friday, write a research paper and Jeff is going to lead worship for the SBS on Wednesday.
Thank you so much for all your prayers and support. We love you guys.
