Here are the three girls in the back seat on the way down.
Kaitlin and Marisa were in the room with these girls from John Brown University and Jamie from U of arkansas. Next to Kaitlin in this picture with the yellow scarf is Bri. One night they realized that they both knew some of the same folks from LR.
Even with a little ole camera Kaitlin can take fun, artistic pictures.
Two pretty girls on the beach
Kaitlin connected up with a friend from miss state, Libbie
And a friend from Tennessee, Beth
Here are some random bullet points that I gleamed from their first 24 hours home-Kaitlin enjoyed the class on Glorification
-the teacher said that we think of what we will do in Heaven that we can't do here but also think about what you enjoy here and how much better that will be in Heaven
-Ted Wenger had a surprise birthday party for Marisa on Friday
-Keith Berger taught on dating- he said that when you are dating that your church, friends parents etc should be all up in your business
- a date is not a marriage proposal
- don't date non-believers because you marry who you date
-suffering is a gift from God
-Captain Anderson's was great. Kaitlin had popcorn shrimp and Marisa had chicken fettuccine.
-The rain didn't dampen their spirits
- their got sunburned
-Back Porch was a great break on Monday from all the craziness
-their car load ate at Waffle House somewhere near Mobile, AL around Midnight on the way home to celebrate Marisa's birthday- It was on the 17th
-they left at 9:30 on Friday after large group and got home around 10 on Saturday morning-thanks for all the prayers
-A very moving time for Kaitlin was when after Jack Howell spoke in large group they sang For All the Saints, she was crying and then looked up and so were all the musicians
-they had a great talk with Hunter Bailey
-Marisa got sick but was helped by Advil and sudefed and sleep
-they can't wait til next year

For All the Saints is one of my favorite hymns too. Was the version they sang traditional or did it have a ska twist?
I love the way you write! I can hear your voice! The pictures are wonderful too...I especially like the sandals in the sand pic. Sounds like all prayers were answered graciously and abundantly! Glad to finally get into your blog again! I've read backwards and love your bathroom!!
so excited for your girls and for God's love and learning being poured into their hearts in a powerful way and in the setting of sand and surf!!
i love your grateful heart, ellen, for what God is doing!
ugh! This is the first year in 7 that my family has not been there. We missed it so much. The pictures are great. Love those bullet points. - especially Keith saying that we all should be all up in their business when they're dating. :-) love it, and agree!
