| So I have made a website for our WeemsCreek youth group available at: WCBC Youth Group Let me know what ya all think!! If
you are in our youth group then add this site to your favorites and
check back often for event updates, new songs, and new pictures.
If you have myspace add a link to this website so your friends can
check us out too! If there is something I
should add or if you have pictures you would like add just let me
know! We also need to brainstorm for an "official" name for our
group. Bridget, can we get this link added to the church's site or even hosted on their webserver. Philemon 1:6 Nate | | |
| For all of you who attended MFuge in Ecuador last summer or who have a heart for Ecuador. On July 15th 2006 Ecuador's Tungarugua volcano erupted creating an avalanche of lava, molten rocks, and ash buring entire villages. If you all remember, this is the volcano that dominated much of our view at camp chacauco and our surrounding work sites. I am sure many of you have tons of pictures with this volcano adorning the backdrop. Even crazier is to think that we were arriving in Ecuador on the night of the 15th of July just last year! Furthermore, the city of Banos where we went out to eat and worship that one night was hit pretty hard. "More than half the residents of Banos, a popular tourist city of 18,000 at the northeast foot of the volcano had evacuated, many fleeing before dawn as the ash rained down. By daylight, Banos was covered in a thick brown soup, its houses, cars and roads smothered, its trees ripped bare." Here is a link with all the news articles: http://search.msn.com/news/results.aspx?q=Tungurahua+volcano+&FORM=MSNHM1
*** UPDATE on Steve & Carol ***
Elizabeth their neice said: "they were all evacuated and they couldnt get to their house for a couple of weeks..they tried to evacuate banos but they wouldnt leave. the flume went about 15 miles high and ash even landed all the way out at the coast. it lasted about 2-3 weeks and has pretty well settled down now..just rumbling a bit now. but everyone is alright..they havent let us know about any casualties or anything, but they are fine and everythings back in business!"
One of my personal pictures of the Tunguragua volcano on July 16th of last year:

| So I got to do something this weekend that I have never done before!! I got to shoot a real gun! It was fun. I went out with Brent's rtbc college and career group to have fellowship in a unique way....a shooting range. There must have been like over 20 different types of weapons from high powered rifles, double barrel shotguns, 9mms, and even bows. A plethora of targets were setup for the destroying....my favorite happened to be sending a 10gauge shotgun shell into the front of a computer monitor! I have always wanted to do that. =) They even had clay skeet shooting setup. I was 50% on the skeet shooting hitting like 8 out of 16. I would have to say my weapon of choice was this Browning top/bottom double barrel shotgun....it just decimated things. Heres a couple pics of the outting:
