Corbyn's ride was very smooth and fast. He hopped right on Aute'(sp), and away he went, the first one to cross the river!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Brayden felt the safest of this team, as he got a ride. This PNG man, Peter, is truly strong. First he has a young boy on his shoulder, he is carrying his own clothes, and holding Bryan's hand to brace him. Not to mention he is an older gentleman! We are very thankful for him! Brayden felt very safe and his fears went away!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

First I have to tell you that none of these pictures could truly show you how high the river was because they were taken at the beginning and the end of our crossing. \u00a0For me, Shara, the river was above my belly button.<\/p>\n

Lets start… here we are at the bank of the river. \u00a0Everyone is taking off shorts, pants, shirts, and skirts. \u00a0Don’t worry we had board shorts under our clothes and the ladies kept there shirts on. \u00a0I can’t say the same for the nationals.\u00a0I was carrying the camera so there are no shots of me if you haven’t figured that out. \u00a0I will simply tell you my story.<\/p>\n

I was so thankful for a young MK, Hanna, who came along with us. \u00a0She was about my height. \u00a0We locked hands so we could use each other to brace ourselves against the fast current. \u00a0It was going to be a challenge to stay standing. \u00a0I wasn’t expecting the temperature factor either. \u00a0It was very refreshing and really woke me up to say the least. \u00a0But the temperature was forgotten as we worked hard to stay standing, walk on slippery rocks, and keep our bags dry, which carried our clothes and belongings. \u00a0(I had our camera in a ziplock bag inside one of the boys small backpacks. \u00a0I carried it around my neck so it wouldn’t hang down low.) Can you just picture this! \u00a0We made it safely across. \u00a0After we crossed the boys were ready to do it again.<\/p>\n

We have crossed over the Rogue River to get to church but we have never walking through a river to get to church. \u00a0It was incredible!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
