Daniel came in 9th and Justin in 22nd. During the competition they shot from standing, sitting and prone. The targets were large for standing, a bit smaller for sitting and small for the prone position. That way you felt like you were shooting from a further distance without actually changing the distance.
Yes, Daniel shoots left handed. Has something to do with not being able to keep his right eye open while closing the left........
Justin does shoot right-handed!
Jesi's new fashion statement. Her other glasses are so much better!
Melinda taking a picture of Jesi, taking a picture of Melinda, taking a picture of Jesi - way too confusing
Some of those not shooting: Ashton, Jared, Tiffany, Melinda, Jessica, Ashly, Jesi, Emma, and GraceThe ladies and young ladies who were not shooting, were able to enjoy sweet fellowship inside and out, while watching the babies and younger children.
After the rifle match we stayed in the Peoria area. The Prices were so gracious to open their home to us. The parents had good conversation while the older children played games until the adults were too tired. As usual the older (but not old!) adults faded before the young adults.
Sunday was worship followed by catechism baseball. The teams are guys against gals. The children go through the Westminster Shorter Catechism question by question. Just the answer get you to 1st base, Q & A gets a double, Q & A + 1 proof text is a triple, and Q & A + 2 proof texts is a home run. The girls won this time. It is a lot of fun watching them study all month and then team up together. Who knew that learning catechism could be so fun!
Providence also has a scripture memory program for the whole family. Each week members, young and older, say scripture they have been memorizing to those who are "trained" to be recited to. The following Sunday they are rewarded with a card that has the scripture passage on it. Each verse is a point, but only if you memorize the whole chapter. At the end of the year those with the most points are recognized. Two weeks ago Jesica said James 1. This past week Justin said the Lord's Prayer, Apostles Creed and Psalm 8. Ashly said the Lord's Prayer and Apostles Creed, while Josiah said the Lord's Prayer. It is so exciting to see the children so eager to memorize and hide God's word in their heart.
