Chris did a great job once again preaching Wednesday and Thursday night! We had a pretty full weekend again! Chris went in to work for a bit on Friday and then we headed over to the DMV. After a long wait, a trip back home to pick up more information, and another wait, we finally got our new licenses! We are official Washatonians! Now to get the cars registered here, get new plates, and switch over our insurance! One step at a time. Saturday was hiking day! After a trip to Sports Authority and getting some new gear with my birthday money we headed to Discovery Park. We hiked the South Beach trail, the North Beach trail, and the Loop trail. Totaling about 4 miles. We did a shorter hike since we got a later start. Also, we heard there was a lighthouse on this particular trail and we wanted to see it! That evening we stopped by the Best Western hotel where the junior high students stayed as part of their service weekend to say hello to everyone! Sunday Pastor Steve preached a wonderful sermon on Cain and that afternoon we attended a get together for the highschool leaders! We were blessed to enjoy dinner, frisbee, paddle boats, fishing, and great fellowship. We are back in the routine today and as Shasta is approaching, Chris is staying very busy! Friday I will be speaking at the widow's luncheon so please be praying about that event. Monday I will be hosting a mother-daughter event at the church for the highschool ladies and their moms! I am still collecting donations to purchase products for the domestic violence shelter so if you would like to give please contact me via email at hales2489@netscape.net . More updates to come! Thanks so much for keeping up with us way up here in Washington!
