1 Timothy 4:12
"Let no one despise your youth, but be an example to the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity."
Dear Mom and Dad,
Our leader, Mr. Cobb, told us all to write an email to our parents in case you saw the flood on TV and worried about us. We are OK.
Only 1 of our tents and 2 sleeping bags got washed away. Luckily, none of us got drowned because we were all up on the mountain looking for Chad when it happened. Oh yes, please call Chad's mother and tell her he is OK. He can't write because of the cast. I got to ride in one of the search and rescue jeeps. It was neat. We never would have found him in the dark if it hadn't been for all the lightning.
Our leader Mr. Cobb got mad at Chad for going on a hike alone without telling anyone. Chad said he did tell him but it was during all the shouting at the fire, so he probably didn't hear him. Did you know that if you put gas on a fire, the gas can will blow up? The wet wood still didn't burn, but one of our tents did. Also, some of our clothes are unrecognizable. Johnny is going to look weird until his hair grows back.
We will be home on Saturday if Mr. Cobb gets the bus fixed. It wasn't his fault about the wreck. The brakes worked ok when we left. Mr. Cobb said that with a bus that old you must expect something to break down; that's probably why he can't get insurance on it. We think it's a neat bus. He doesn't care if we get it dirty, and if it's hot, sometimes he lets us hang out the windows. It gets really hot in there now since the highway patrolman stopped and asked us to close all the windows.
Mr. Cobb is a neat guy. Don't worry, he is a good driver. In fact, he was teaching Terry how to drive. But he only let him drive on the mountain roads where there wasn't any traffic. All we ever saw up there were huge logging trucks.
This morning all the guys were diving off the rocks and swimming out in the lake. Mr. Cobb wouldn't let me because I can't swim, and Chad was afraid he would sink because of his cast, so he let us take the canoe across the lake. It was great. You can still see some of the trees under the water from the flood. Mr. Cobb doesn't get crabby like some other leaders we've had. He didn't even get mad about us forgetting our life jackets.
Guess what? We have all passed our first aid merit badges. When Dave dove in the lake and cut his arm, we got to see how a tourniquet works. Also, when Wade and I threw up Mr. Cobb said it probably was just a touch of food poisoning from eating leftovers. He said they got sick that way with the food they ate in prison. I'm so glad he got out and became our leader. He said he figured out how to get things done better while he was doing his time.
I have to go now. We are going into town to buy some day old specially priced chicken for dinner. Don't worry about anything. We are fine.
Love, Amber
