2nd Leg

What did one olive say to the other other olive as he fell off the table?
0000-live.

Thought I would start off the post with a joke. I think it's funny, but I've used it twice since I've been here and others disagree. Anyways, camp is finished. The last day at Camp Darby (the military base) was July 4th. What an amazing and unforgettable experience. It's crazy to think the power and ability Christ has when he brings together a community of believers. Not only for the high schoolers and middle schoolers that came to camp, but also for "us", the work staff. God is good. He changes us to be joyful and complete in Him. All out of Love. That's what he did these past few weeks.

Now the Second leg of our adventure has begun. We took the train to Florence, Italy yesterday morning and will be spending 2 nights here (the 5th and 6th). The city is beautiful. We've been able to see a couple things so far, including the humongous statue of David....super cool. Check out the photos:


Walled city called Lucca - John, Scott, and I doing a jumping picture on top of the wall!



All the highschoolers at camp - they are singing at this point. If you look in the distance you can see that this was done on the beach one night.



At the train station eating some McDonalds before we left



At the Duomo in Florence - that big dome is the Duomo, which we are walking up into today (460 steps)

  1. Two olives are sitting on a table, one falls off. The one still on the table looks down and yells, "Are you okay?!"

    The olive replies, "Oh,I'lllive"
    (That one may go over a little better)
