A letter

Erin left 3 1/2 weeks ago

for CCM

She hasn't had any contact with me

as they can't bring electronics to camp.

For 3 1/2 weeks I have wonder:

Is she having fun

Is she meeting new people

Is she learning how to communicate with hearing people

Is she learning how to be a good team player.

Is she lonely

Is she homesick

Is she hating camping

Is she learning how to preserve Mother Nature

Is she seeing the beauty of Mother Nature

She she learning more about God.

Today I got my answer

I received an letter from her.

She has spent 2 1/2 weeks in North Dakota 

( I didn't know where she was)
She picked plants

She picked up rocks and moved them

She has met many new friends and they are fun

She went to a beach in Wisc. last Saturday after writing
the letter
She is getting a dark tan.

While in North Dakota

She saw beautiful Northern Lights with the colors

of green, orange, red, blue and white

Saw 8 shooting stars

(I hope she wished on at least one of them)

She slept in an tent and likes it
(she didn't like camping when she first came home)

She saw millions of stars.

And this week she is at Savanna Stat Park.

Didn't realize I have been holding my breath

the last 3 weeks 

until I got the letter today.

What a great way to pick me up.

I am so glad that Erin is having a great time.

Can't wait to see her this weekend.
