winter camping

Well, life at Summit may get dull from time to time, but our out trips never to. Our latest adventure was winter camping. Thursday morning we were getting ready to leave, and one of the girls told us she was sick. So her and the other girl in the group stayed behind to go with the group going the week after, so we were left with a group of all guys. Amazing. Our ski to our camp site took a total of 10 minutes. We set up camp and proceeded to chill for the rest of our time there. We found some fun stuff to do, had some sweet fires, Ryan and I went for a long ski and found this huge hill which we skied down. Here is where the story turns a little more interesting, and where I begin to see God's hand in everything. One of the guys got insanely sick. He was puking constantly and it wasn't very cool at all. Shortly after hoping in bed, like 10 minutes, we decide to pack up and head back, because Evan was way too sick. It took us under 30 minutes to pack up camp in the dark. Caleb, one of our interns, and Evan took there time getting back to our pick up area while the rest of us went ahead to call for a ride. The problem was we only knew the guys dorm number and we thought they were all going to be gone to this movie we had all been waiting to see for the last few months. So, I called my parents, got the number for MBC, got a hold of the interns and they sent Kaj to pick us up. Now Caleb and Evan are finally caught up. It was a blessing we were so close to our pick up point, even so I was amazed Evan made it that far. So, Kaj got there, but he came in is car even though we had told the interns that we all needed to be picked up, all 7 of us. So, we had to wait there for them to drive back with Caleb and Evan then drive back to where we were with a van. We ended up waiting there for around 3 hours, but we finally got back around 3:30 in the morning. And now it gets even cooler. One of the guys had to leave Summit for some very good reasons, so we were all able to be back to see him off. Sometimes circumstances seem to screw things up, but God knows what He is doing.
