The LORD's day~

I made 'Mocha Truffle Brownies' for snack time at the Sturtevants. I really enjoy decorating things with chocolate. :p (I also have the recipe for those interested. :)
Pastor Bordwine, Papa, and Mr. Lind are all praying for Mr. Berkompas, our new elder. :)

(I am sorry for the terrible quality of these pictures. None of my cameras have ever done well inside the Church.)
At the Sturtevants house, we all played 'obstacles.'  A game where you have a whole bunch of junk on the floor, one person blind folded, one person to lead, and one destination to reach. There are partners, who, one blind folded, and one un-blind folded, have to reach an object on the opposite side of the room, with out the one with the blind fold touching anything on the floor. The one with out the blind has to describe how far you need to move, what you will be crossing, and basically, be your eyes.  The picture above is Michael and Heidi making their way across the room. They eventually made it. Hurray!!!!
Caitlin and Christopher were the second ones to try. They beat Michael and Heidi by 14 seconds. :) oh, so close! (By the way, Michael took most of these pictures. Just to let ya know. :)
Next up, Brian and Caleb......who did not quite make it past half of the dresser. Which makes sense, because we made it SUPER hard for them. :)  Sorry guys!
Now......Joe and Christian! They, eventually, made it as well. Congratulations!
P.S. Notice Caleb in the background, watching with hawk eyes, hoping that he won't be the only one who lost. :)
Well, Caleb and Brian were not the only ones who lost. :( Me and Josh did too. But I have to say, we got a WHOLE lot closer to our destination. Right next to my foot was the water bottle that we were supposed to be getting. *sigh*  Maybe another time. :)
All of the on lookers. :)
And......what we had to get past. Wow, pretty hard hu?
The day ended with joy and thanks that the LORD gave us wonderful brothers and sisters in Christ, such as these.

Yeah, that was fun! :D We did make it pretty hard on Caleb and Brian (but that is what made it very entertaining to watch :)). It sure was nice though that Michael and I got to go first because it was easier. :)
I am so glad you guys were able to come over...sorry I never said goodbye Jess-I feel bad. :P
