We decided to stay in the campground again last night, so this gave us a chance to do a few more things around the National Park. Kevin and Loren drove around and found no good point to put the kayak into the water. They came back towards our camping spot and carried the kayak down an incline to get to the water. Once Loren was on his way, I went to pay for another night there. Loren will be sleeping on a beach so we will not see him until Saturday afternoon.
We spent some time on the beach and both Kevin and I noticed that people were not real open to talk. So we just enjoyed the sand and sun. The boys played in the sand but I’m the only one who got in the water. OK, maybe we all got our feet wet but I was able to go as deep as my knees. The water was so cold that it made me hurt. Well after an hour or so there we decided to go rent a canoe.
While canoeing Kevin offered a group of adults a bible. One lady spoke up for the whole group and said no. O well. We kept on having fun. The current was strong and all four of us were in one canoe. Kobee managed to help most of the time, but John he gave up shortly after we started.
I want to mention Jeremy and Melissa. They are a young couple that camped next to us. Their little boy is named Abram. He has blond hair and is 2years old. Melissa and I started talking on Thursday night. We stayed up well after dark talking to them (dark starts around 9:45 or 10). We talked about all sorts of things. Melissa is a nutritionist and Jeremy works with sheet metal. Before we went to sleep we offered them bibles. They said they would like to have French, so we said we would get the bibles to them in the morning. The next day Kevin took time to explain to Jeremy how to read the bible. We have realized that if you have never read the bible and you start in Mathew; which is where the New Testaments start that we are giving out, it can be a little boring and people have the tendency to set it down and never read it again. We talked to them several more times throughout the weekend. I really enjoyed getting to know them. They will be in my prayers.
