\"\"<\/p>\n

Last week the guys finished the first installment of the retaining wall.\u00a0 The men really worked hard and got a lot done in one week. It is great to see some important projects getting done.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The big event of the week was the Christmas program.\u00a0 It was a very nice program and we were glad that we could be there for it.\u00a0 Being there came at a bit of a cost for us because we had a flight scheduled the next day and we could see that a storm was coming in which tempted us to fly out on Saturday, but we wanted teach on Sunday and be there for the Christmas program so we stayed and hoped the helicopter would be able to make it in.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The pilot tried, but because of low clouds, had to turn back.\u00a0 So, the next day, Heidi and I, along with some Isnag guys, hiked out to town.\u00a0 It rained pretty much the whole way and the trail was very slippery.\u00a0 We are thankful that we didn\u2019t fall or twist an ankle and that we made it safely to the road.\u00a0 The hike was 14 miles and took us 7.5 hours.\u00a0 Cole and Hannah Hinderager blessed us by picking us up at the trailhead and taking us to the guest house.\u00a0 They had also purchased groceries for us, so we had food to eat when we arrived.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
