Soon To Be Mrs. Lamphere

Well, Saturday evening, Eric asked me to marry him and I said YES. We went to a very nice dinner and then we went on a walk. We found a really pretty clearing where we could see the mountains and we were talking about lot of things. Then he turned to me and got down on one knee and pulled out a ring box. The ring is beautiful and I am so excitted. I didn't know it was coming because he told me he wanted to go look at rings on Sunday after noon. He did a great job. We will be getting married in Spokane at my home church on Saturday, November 24th at 12:00pm noon.

Rock Creek

A couple of weeks ago Chris and Christy King, Eric, and I were able to take some of the teens from the church in Clark Fork on a camp weekend. We went on a hike to rock creek. It was a beautiful hike and I hear that once you make it to the falls and lake they are beautiful. Unfortunately we were not able to make it to the top. It began to get dark and some of the teens were worn out. So, we stopped at a creek and had a Bible lesson and a some food. As you can see the whole hike was worth it. It was breath taking. We had a lot of fun and the kids seem to love it. The boys camped out side at Lake Lota Wata and the girls stayed in the big house. We had a great time and I was able to spend some time getting to know the youth in the church there. We also had the opportunity to take a couple of kids from the community with us, who are not able to attend our church. Please pray for Clark Fork Baptist Church and the work that the Lord is doing there. Satan has a strong hold in that town, but the Lord is always stronger. Please also pray for Eric as he is now the interim pastor at the church and with that brings a lot of responsibility and learning.

Yellowstone

On the way to Washington we stopped at Yellow Stone. We had a lot of fun and it was beautiful. We got to see lots of animals and pretty sites. We even got to see a bear. He was a ways off but a bear no the less. As a result of seeing a bear I had to buy dinner that night. Oh well, it was worth the fun we had. The pictures of the waterfall are at the Grand Canyon of the Yellow Stone. It was so pretty.

Tennessee

Well, seeing how this was my last weekend in Tennessee, a few of my friends wanted to get together. So, Saturday night Sam, Kristina, and I all went to Pigeon Forge, TN. We rode go carts and bumper boats. Sam also tried to find a mechanical bull for me to ride. Unfortunately the only thing we found was a donkey. Yes, i rode the donkey but Sam couldn't figure out how to make the video on my camera work. so, i have no pictures to show. Yes, I made myself look like an idiot for no reason. it was lots of fun though. Sunday night the singles went to Zaxby's Chicken after church. there were to of us who were moving away so we all went out one last time. It was nice to be able to say bye to everyone.

Well, as i am thrilled to be moving on with my life and go back to my home, there are some friends i have made here in Tennessee that i am going to miss. The Lord has taught me a lot while i have been here and i am thankful for this chapter in my life. I also can't wait to start the next chapter. SPOKANE here i come. I will miss you all and i will do my best to keep in touch with you all.



This is my friend Heidi. she and her husband Dan were my Sunday School teachers and great friends. We all went out to Zaxby's Sunday night.


This is me and Kristina waiting to ride the go carts. We had lots of fun and Sam enjoyed making fun of us both.



So Sam talked us into riding the bumper boats. Just for the record the sprayer on my boat didn't work. So, once again i was an easy target for EVERYONE. I was soked but we had fun.

Glacier

We had a wonderful time at Glacier national park. Mom kept taking pictures of everything. This is the first time any of us had been to Glacier. It is crazy that it took us this long to go seeing how it is not really all that far from Spokane.
