We arrived at Long
View during lunch time and immediately had a delicious meal of pulled pork
sandwiches. After getting settled into our cabins we divided into three work
teams. One team moved lumber for the new cabin being built, while the other two
teams cleared new trails in the woods surrounding camp. Everyone worked
diligently and completed more work than the Long View staff thought was
possible.
The students had
free time before dinner, which allowed them to play basketball, nine square,
gaga ball and tether ball or social time in their cabins or dining hall. The
wonderful meal of baked ziti with a salad and the famous Long View Ranch banana
pudding for dessert made everyone happy. After dinner we had our first session
of memorizing our verses from Ephesians, Mr. Hood commented that our class had
one of the best first sessions that he can remember.
Our large praise
and worship team of seven students led by Mr. Weil helped us have a wonderful
beginning to our evening bible study. We then discussed what we have learned
from Ephesians chapter one and two from the past couple days. We ended our time
with a special time of class prayer.
The day ended with
some intense games of Man Hunt, which is a special game of hide and seek. We
are looking forward to our day of logging tomorrow as we help people next
winter to warm their homes. We cherish all your prayers and will hopefully be
blogging each day. (Sorry no pictures tonight due to technical
difficulties.)
This is the
sophomore class signing off for tonight!
