It was a hectic week here at Double H Ranch, though it sure didn't lack the fun and excitement for the kids, who look forward to coming to this camp so much. The 5 new guinea pigs have adjusted well. We have named the 3 calicos: Tinkerbell, Roxy, and Gertie. The Texel with the long black curls is named Tesla, and the Chocolate Teddy is still sitting on the fence with either the name 'Teddy' or 'Hog'. The new guinea pigs love to run down the race track which is great change from the 5 minute "races" in which the 2 older guinea pigs would just sit on the start line and stare at each other.
During the break Josh and I hung out with our friend Jessica Hemendinger. Jessica and I worked in the barn together last summer. It was so good to spend time with her. We went to the mall, where she and I practically devoured the store 'Forever 21' and we also saw 'Ice Age 3'. Today, Josh and I are having some much needed relax time, since the end of the summer is known to take it's toll on the energy and health of counselors.
I am still working on reading the book 'Church History in Plain Language'. I am almost half-way through! I also almost half-way through a carton of goldfish crackers that I've only had for a week.
All in all, things are very good and God's love is so crazy, crazy good! I am experiencing much relief and strength as I depend on God's own characteristics that He has put inside of me.
It's been a while since I've posted a Mother Teresa quote so here we go

The miracle is not that we do this work, but that we are happy to do it.
Mother Teresa
