Rolla

This summer, the kids and I got to go with Mark on his Mammoth Trip. Every year, he travels through "his" states recruiting for Harding. The kids and I went this year and had a blast! Part-way through the trip, we dropped the kids off in Iowa at Mark's parents' house and he and I went on by ourselves. It was a trip full of adventure!

Our first stop was Little Prairie Bible Camp in Rolla, Missouri. Who's been? I never had. It was a nice place full of nice people. The minute we opened our car doors and stepped into the heat, we almost melted. It was a grueling 116 degrees (at 6:00 in the evening)!

Despite the heat, however, Mark was in his element. He jumped right in and started playing a little b-ball (knock-out!) with the campers.

While he played, we sat in front of a gigantic fan and tried to stay cool. (Thanks, Josh, for the popsicles!!)

We were surprised when Mark was asked to lead chapel, which he did very well. I began to appreciate my husband anew and see a side of him I don't often get to see.

IT'S GREAT TO BE AT HARDING!!
