It’s hard to believe, but the last vans have now left camp.  All that’s left here is a staff; tired, but sentimental about our memories as we clean up our cabins, put away our equipment, and prepare for the conference season.  It seems like just last week that this staff arrived, eager to build their leadership skills and to build up the character of every camper who chose to spend time this summer at MRO.  Each staff member here feels a healthy sense of accomplishment having served wholeheartedly for the last four weeks, but the real work this summer happened at that whim of God’s hands, not ours.  Thank you to all those of you who read this blog and prayed along with the concerns of camp. 

As our conference season begins, there are a number of things you can look forward to.  For one, you can expect to hear from more than one writer on the Moose Tracks Blog.  Marcus Corey, our conference director will be offering the occasional update as well as sharing some of his favorite memories of the summer.  Likewise, MRO may be coming to you at some point this year.  Between December and April, Marcus and I will be visiting homes and arranging MRO reunions across the country.  If you would be interested in hosting one of these events, please contact me at (603) 875-3600.  It is relationships that fuel our ministry here at MRO, and we are committed to building them up regardless of the season. 

Thank you for “tracking” with the events of camp this summer.  God is good and it is a joy to share stories of his goodness with each of you.
