A Beautiful Weekend

Cabot and I had the privilege of going to a Mother Son retreat this weekend in New Durham at Camp Maranatha. I forgot my camera (can you believe it?) We had so much fun just being with each other and learning what the Bible teaches us about making wise decisions. It was such a wonderful time. We had great meals, roasted hot dogs and marshmallows. I think the marshmallows were Cabot's lunch that day and not the hot dog! We went to the local fish hatchery WOW!! so many fish and not a single fishing pole. They were mostly rainbow and brook trout a few salmon too. The boys made a cool craft it is a magic broom holder. I will use that in the next house and also make sure it comes to Guatemala with us! :)

We met so many different people from all sorts of places in life. I was very nervous to go there not knowing anyone but the camp owners. It is amazing what you can learn about people when you know nothing and just go in as yourself and listen to others. I could go into great detail about some of the people I met but since they might be reading this I will spare them! :) We really enjoyed ourselves.

So you may be asking WHY is she telling us all of this...well, here you go. My roommate is a missionary home on furlough. A very sweet lady who has two great boys that Cabot just loved. They are missionaries with Wycliff. She was asking about Guatemala and wondering what we are going to be doing there...where we will be living...who we are going with....you know the normal questions. It was great sharing with another missionary what our part of the ministry will be. A few minutes later...she mentioned that she has friends who are going to Guatemala in August. "Wow I said that is great, who are they going with??" she said they are teachers and are heading to the Christian school in the city! AAHHH!!! I had goosebumps, why?? well because that is where the kids will be attending! :) Someone from NH is going to be teaching there!! I gave her our prayer card to give to them so hopefully we will be able to connect sometime before they go. But I thought how wonderful God is in even the small things of having teachers not just from the states but from NH that will be in our children's school so far away from home!

what was my highlight of the weekend? wow...spending quality time with Cabot! What a wonderful time we had!

the verse that was the theme for the weekend was:
Proverbs 4:7
"Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom and with all they getting get understanding."
