We made it to Colorado and now Brook and kids are gone again! They left today for Alabama where they will spend one week with her family. Granny is quite sick, Grandmother turns 90, and Brook wanted to see them both as well as spend time with her family. I was not able to go this time due to LT duties and us just getting the program started for the summer. What a first week it has been. I'll take Natalie's thoughts on bullets and abbreviate my entry.
- Brook is taking the kids to YMCA activities every day (bottle rockets, crafts, animal searches, ect)
- the place is beautiful. mountains are our backdrop, elk roam the grounds, and it's just an amazing place
- our family has a new rule: we can never get tired of the view!
- we saw a beaver in the pond down the road. we think it was a beaver, but it could possibly be a muskrat. it did slap the water with it's tail when we got too close.
- i am coaching a project with no UT students in it.
- I'm not sure how ministry will work here since I'm not seeing people everyday yet, but things will most likely work themselves out as I try to take care of the people God has given me for the summer.
- we have small but comfortable cabin (500ish sq ft) we most likely cannot house you in our place, but we love being close to each other. come out if you can!

Great blog Rudy! I can visualize and "audiolize" you speaking as I read through the blog. New rule: never get tired of the view - ha! love it!
Woah....Naaman and Kyra have gotten so old. It looks like he's lost teeth! I hope you guys have heaps of fun in Colorado this summer. It'll be nice to be away from the Texas heat. So jealous!!!! :)
Cool!!! Love the pics!!! Thanks for posting!!
I'm sad your project doesn't have any UT peeps in it. :( What's up with that? No Nat, Ashlyn, or Ana everyday?? Either way, it's so awesome that all of y'all are out there....why aren't Kelly and I there?!?!
I love you're new rule! hehe...that's awesome!!
Brook and the kids are so crazy cute!! Keep posting pics of them!!!
(This is Urs by the way...but Kelly says hi!)
We were just there ourselves a couple of weeks ago, and we loved the gorgeous mountain vistas, the fresh pine scent in the air, the chilly weather, the quaint stores downtown -- it was awesome! Y'all are going to have a wonderful summer. If you get a chance to hike with the family, check out Lily Lake and Sprague Lake. Both have a family-friendly trail around it. Also, go get your family photo made at the Real West photo shop downtown. They did a terrific job and it was so fun to dress up as cowboys. And the owners of the shop are Christians.
May God save many people and radically change hearts and lives this summer at LT, just like he did for Barry and me eight years ago. We love you guys and pray for safety in all your travels and for His power and grace in your ministry. Keep up the good work, brother!
Love, the Bishops
Thanks for the update! It looks soooooooooo beautiful! Enjoy! I'm thinking of and praying for you guys.
bullets are good. so is your rule - i've also made it my rule. i'm amazed every time i walk out of work and see the mountains. see you around. :)
thanks for posting pictures! i love the new family rule. :)
glad everyone's having a great time! i look forward to hearing more!
Two thoughts . . .
1. The place looks gorgeous!!
2. Couching a group with no UT students?? Crazy. I am curious to know how that goes.
Love you guys,
Hannah
