Wonderful Weekend

An abbreviated version of the Hilman family was blessed to be able to attend New Song La Grande's family camp this past weekend. Our family as well as the rest of the Portland group was warmly welcomed. The people we met, services we experienced and the places we stayed will long be remembered.
We were able to take all five of our bikes with us. Cherise met us there and brought her bike from Walla Walla as well.



One of the highest highlights of our trip over there was getting to meet Kiel. He is the man Cherise is in love with. He was great with our kids and we got to meet his sister, Kathleen, and her husband, Mike, and their 3 adorable children. We look forward to more times spent together. I am especially anxious for Kiel to meet the rest of the family. Perhaps when Rylan is home in December we can get together again.
































What special time together doesn't include a trip to Starbucks? It was one place that we could sit and "interview" each other. Kiel learned a lot about us and we learned some more about him.

Thank you, Kiel, for welcoming us into your town and fellowship. La Grande is beautiful and New Song feels like home.
