Loch Tay Expedition Second Report (Part 1)
Hello
Kirsty phoned in last night about 9.30pm from a beach quite near to Ardeonaig , the Abernethy Centre on the south shore of Loch Tay. She was feeling very tired and having quite a bit of pain from her wrist which she fell on during the hide & seek game in the nearby woods!!
But she was very upbeat about the progress during the day. The weather had been mixed but towards the evening was drying out and sunny and folk were quite 'chilled out'. The day had some interesting times - 2 boys capsized and their clothes were now in the drying room at Ardeonaig Centre; the seating arrangements in the boats had been changed with young people and leaders sharing and so the overall mood was much better; the young people had come to terms with the eating and cooking and clearing up arrangements (D-I-Y or you don't eat!!); that evening's Time Out was excellent with hot chocolate and cake and the young people, epecially Chris and Jass opening up but everyone was paying attention to Rogan's story. Everybody has been getting used to everbody; the young people are running out of cigarettes and playing frisbee (and also understanding / realising boundaries), the instructors are doing well, the Reality team are marvellous (Claire still overcoming her post-Peru jet-lag) and GOD has definitely been answering prayers. Thank you.
Today, Wednesday the plans are to paddle / sail (depending on the winds) to the other end of the loch, to camp on the island with the castle near Kenmure, Tom from Abernethy will be replaced by Jon, new food supplies are being sent in and tonight, Rogan will receive a visit from Kenny, his tutor from ICC.
Please pray for Kirsty and her wrist - she wants to / need to paddle today with Jass. (Rogan prayed with her last night and she felt the pain was easing). Please pray for the young people that GOD will help them to make the most of each moment of the day and their experiences together. Please pray for the team that they will continue to have strength to constructively respond to the demands of the young people and also be able to help them on in their journey with GOD.
With many thanks - watch this space for further news, as it arrives!!
