Creation Bound

Last Tuesday, Hannah, my brother John and I, went out and rode the Hiawatha trail on the Idaho/Montana border. This is the first tunnel that is 1.7 miles long. This is a favorite trail of ours. Last fall, Susan and I did it. So there are a lot of memories. I rode Susan's beach bike, that has gears so I can get back up the hill without straining myself too much. What a cruiser though. What a Glorious day, enjoying what God has provided to us soo abundantly around here.

And Sunday night, we took in a Spokane Indians baseball game. The game wasn't very exciting for the home team fans, but we all had a great time on a beautiful summer evening. What a great time we have had with my brother John. He will be coming back at Christmas with his son Francesco. Pray that John survives the bus trip over to Billings for the next two weeks of his vacation.
On Tuesday morning, Hannah, Mary, Laura and I go to Creation Festival over at the Gorge Amphitheater on the Columbia River. This is the big Christian Music Festival on the West Coast, where us fans camp out for 4 nights and endure the extreme heat of Eastern Washington. We all will be working in the Music Tent during the festivals, so for those that plan on going, stop by and say hi to the Vetsch's.
Updates:
  1. Sarah's hand is healing properly. It is still in a splint and she will stay away from the Physical Therapist, at least for a while. She won't be going to Creation because of her hand and she will need to take it easy in comfort back at home.
  2. Aaron is off on a Youth group camp. Pray that the Holy Spirit will move in his heart this week. He returns this weekend.
  3. Our time at Creation will be devoted to doing the will of our Lord Jesus. We are open to the calling. Pray that we step up and make a difference in the lives around us.
  4. Pray for the home front here. Sarah and Jason will be at home working and taking care of the animals along with Diane.
  5. Kayla will be at Kelly Murray's home for the week.

Enjoy Creation at the Gorge!...Bob Lenz will be there I believe on Friday...he is a youth minister with Compassion ministries. He is camped down at our lake cabin for another night, then to George. If you can get away to hear him speak, it should be powerful and uplifting! God bless your willingness to be filled with the Holy Spirit, and available.
