But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us.  1 Corinthians 4:7

We travelled through Washington on Tuesday, arriving in Newport, WA around 4:00 p.m.  It was a long day, but we had a wonderful campsite in the forest and as we were having dinner outside a doe and two fawns came through.

We started out at 8:00 a.m. yesterday and arrived in Kalispell at 4:00 p.m.  There were major delays due to roadwork - since this can only be done in the summer, they really go to town and everything gets torn up.  Of course added to that is all those TOURISTS who want to see all the glory that is Montana!  Our family, Paul and Darcy, Micah, Jessi and Travis and dear friends Jack and Alice were here to help us get set up and we have spent wonderful time with them already.  We're very happy to be settled in this beautiful place for six weeks.

We are working on a reorg of our travel schedule since we have realized we took it quite a bit too fast on the first leg of this trip.  (Chris - I know you told me so!)

Tomorrow Den gets to go to Bible Study with Jack early in the morning and I have a coffee date with Jessi and her friend (and mine) Hannah.  Blessings untold!
