The picture tonight is Janelle, sitting by Don and holding a tiny puppy that one of the families brought with them to the tournament. Notice the red cliffs in the background! This town is built right up against these cliffs. Janelle is Jessie’s older sister. She will be 18 next month and is a senior this year.
Jessie’s team played hard and well today, but they got beat out today. They ended up taking 3rd place in the tournament and I’m sure they’re disappointed, but they should be very proud and pleased. We were! We loved sitting out in this awesome weather. It was hot and dry. You know they say that dry makes hot better, but it’s hot in the oven and I do my best to keep my head out of the oven. We ate many cups of ice to be able to tolerate the heat today and it worked. I’m sure it was much better than if the humidity had been way high. I think it was around 100 degrees and it was really very passable. We’re amazed at the stamina that these girls have! We're also very proud of their skills, and their spirit; they are an awesome group.
Tomorrow we’re meeting the kids for breakfast and then they will head for home and we’re going to tour around this area some. We plan to go to Snow Canyon and really don’t know what to expect. They tell us there are hiking trails there, so we expect to do some hiking and we expect to have a special worship session of our own in the very midst of God’s handiwork that is so unfamiliar to us. Of course we love the special areas of God’s handiwork at home, too. Tomorrow will be an adventure for us. We’ll head back to Vegas before too late tomorrow if we don’t get lost! Expect pictures of the area to be on the blog soon.
We thank God for this great time with Jeff, Jeanette, Janelle and Jessie as well as the adventure through this great countryside. We also thank Him for you!
