Our anticipated pirate party “Treasure Quest” happened on one of the hottest September days I remember here. A bunch of us gathered at Bruneau Dunes State Park. We all dressed up as pirates, ate pirate food (squid [hot dogs skewered with spaghetti noodles], “parrot legs”, grog, and lots more) and hunted for treasure. It was a LOT of work for Ed and his sidekick Andrew. Below is a picture of our Navigator/Cadence team at the party.
We have had such a lovely early autumn here, we were able to eat outside occasionally.
I was thrilled to help Amber welcome back her husband Caleb from deployment. He deployed within weeks after his baby girl was born.
We love Caleb. It so wonderful to have him back.
We were soon to be saddened to say good bye to Shane. Shane has been with us pretty much since we got to Mountain Home. Shane discharged from the Air Force. He may come back to visit periodically since his girlfriend lives near by. :) Below is the last Friday night Shane was with us. He is the loveable red haired guy in the middle.
Thanks to the leadership of our Navigator partners, Mike and Amy Coleman, we are going out quarterly for a “Half Day of Prayer”. The guys go on Saturday and the gals go on Sunday. Below is a picture of the gals who went. This is certainly time well spent.
Our prayers have been answered in such a marvelous way with our new chaplain, Lance Schrader. He and his wife Karla have only been here for a few weeks but our hearts are knit with theirs. Chaplain Schrader preached for the first time yesterday and let me just say that he seems to love God and stand on His word. It is so very exciting! Pictured below is our beloved Chaplain Montoya with the Schraders.
This past weekend, the chapel and Stonecroft ministries put together a “Heart Event for Families” at the club on base. Chaplain Montoya invited Rachel Faulkner to be the lady speaker. We also had Brian Fleming as the men’s speaker (blownupguy.com). Rachel is a good friend of my good friend, Katy Henshaw. Rachel is twice widowed and has a phenomenal testimony of Jesus’ love and comfort. She also spoke/sang at both chapel services. Her rendition of “Give Me Jesus” will stay with me for a long time. It was a treat for Ed and I to get to go eat at Boise Fry Company with Rachel, Brian, Chaplain Montoya and his wife Tina. Below is a picture of Rachel and me at BFC.
