Midnight Sun.

Here I sit back in the Welcome Center of the First Baptist Church Palmer after an exhausting week followed by and even more exhausting past 24 hours.
Camp ended up being awesome, but really challenging. There was some drama with some of the other people that were there working and some of the speaking and gospel presentation was pretty sensationalized, but I feel that God, in all sovereignty, used it for good. We had a total of 8 boys who came to know Christ one of whom was in my cabin! It was super exciting.
So we finished up on Friday, Gentry had come and spent Thursday night with us, and headed out after lunch. We immediately went and picked up the girls and then headed to Anchorage. We met Meghan and Charlie at Brenda's house and then left for Keni and College Heights Baptist Church. We spent the night at the church (they had a Wii and projection system. Mario Cart. It happened.) Then we got up early this morning and helped them with an intrachurch king salmon derby. We moved their trucks and boat traliers to the end of the river at the pull out point and also provided lunch about half way down the river. It was pretty cool. I also did really well driving the trailer and even backed it up pretty successfully. I was proud.
Then we packed everything up, drove back to Anchorage, picked up our truck, and drove out to the valley. We had a small sushi dinner (followed by DQ) and are now at 1st Baptist Palmer for church tomorrow. Gentry and I are each teaching a sunday school class in the morning ( him high school me middle school) and then staying here tomorrow night. We are leaving for Anchorage on Monday morning and will spend the next two weeks there. I am not sure what we are doing.
The mountains seem to gain beauty every time I look at them. As Meghan said today, there is just something Godly about this place that just screams His presence, majesty, and soverignty. I still haven't gotten used to it being completely light at midnight, but at the same time, there isn't anything quite like it.
