Thoughts on the night before

After months of preparation, we leave for the mountain tomorrow morning at 5:30 AM.  All the boys and leaders are excited.  I hope I can sleep tonight.

I feel privledged to have had the opportunity to get to know each of the young men who will be participating.  I hope that they will all be as positively affected by the experience as I was on my first time last year.  Getting to know the men who will be going has also been a joy and distinct pleasure.  I feel very blessed that I have been called "for such a time as this".

I asked Bishop Sass to give myself, Ray Peterson and Steve Wrigley a blessing this evening.  It was a sweet experience.

I will make this short as I want a good night's sleep, and we start early tomorrow.  My next blog entry will come on Thursday after having returned from the event.

God bless us every one.
