A Boy and his Best Friend

This weekend we took the youth group on a retreat to do some work on their summer camp. All went well and it was a great experience. We asked Colton his favorite part of the retreat and it was seeing his cousin Joe Braden and Matt. Matt is like his older brother best friend. Matt was in the youth group when Scott became the youth minister. He graduated and was around to help out tremendously this last year. He has taught us so much and we have greatly enjoyed him. He was at our house a lot and Colton didn't think he could go to bed if Matt had not come over yet. He loves his Matty boy. Matt went to LCU in January so we have been missing him a ton. The night before we left we were packing and Colton was helping and he said "This is so exciting!! I can't wait to see Matty boy!!!" He is so sweet.




AT the retreat he had grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and all his kids. I know he thinks they just come over to see him. He truly enjoys getting to be apart of the youth group and it is having a great affect on him. If he wasn't so good about everything there is no way we would be able to keep doing all that we do. Sometimes the things you don't even expect bless your life the most.



Thanks Kandys and Lori for taking pictures so I have some!!
