Final letter from Ardgour 206

Hello - this is Fran once again as Chad is taking a well-earned day off. Apologies for the lack of update yesterday due to having the carpet fitters in! Lenzie Union Parish Church, from whom we rent our two offices, kindly agreed to share the cost of carpeting the offices and they look wonderful - but the upheaval was total, including unplugging and disconnecting the network - however, it's all back together and works beautifully!.
So to catch up with camp:
Richard's enthusiasm when he rings is terrific! The little group have enjoyed a fantastic gorge walk on Wednesday, then a canoeing expedition yesterday - the intention was to canoe across the loch then make rafts with makeshift sails and sail back - unfortunately there was no wind. Each evening "Time Out" has been very well received, with last night's lasting about 1 hr and lots of singing. Evening activities included time on the beach, watching photos of the day's activities, dorm time with games and reading stories - last night the girls asked to be prayed for at bedtime.
This morning it's raining, which can affect the mood of a camp - pray for today's activities - aerial runway, archery, some sort of farewell service, prizegiving and certificates - for a happy ending with good memories.
... and please pray for safe travel home.

On a different note, the lass at Barcaple who had an accident diving into a pool at the end of a gorge walk has sadly died. Please pray for the family, and also for the staff at all the Abernethy Trust centres, who are having to come to terms with this. She was from Carlisle, aged 15, and a real enthusiast who had been on 5 outdoor pursuits camps at the centre.
Thank you again for your prayers - we do appreciate your support.
Fran
