Maine part two

As you might know we are missionaries to Northern Uganda to build a discipleship school. That is the reason we went to see the couple, Gary and Karen, for three days. They had an awesome little cabin by a lake which they called "the camp" because it was the old family name for it . They had all kinds of things to use on the lake! The stuff Peter John and I mostly used were the canoes and fishing poles.

You could tell it was a really old cabin because instead of the bathroom being on the inside it was under the house so you had to walk all the way around the cabin to take a shower.

On the first day, while Mom and Dad were in a meeting with Mr. Gary, they let us use the canoe to go fishing. It was very foggy out that day, so we just paddled up to small rocks and the little swim platform to eat our snacks. I think the only time we weren't in the canoe was lunch and dinner.

Even though we only stayed three days, it felt like a week.  On the last day, we got up early so we would have an early start on the lake. I think it was one of the best days of my life because while in the canoe by myself, anchored in a small cove by the cabin, I was fishing and all of the sudden, I got a tremendous tug on my line! It was a beautiful large mouth bass jumping around my boat trying to get free. Sadly he got what he wanted and snapped my line, but I was still excited because at least  I hooked the monster. He looked a little bit over a foot long to me.

Dad kind of broke away for a minute to go jump off of a huge rock in the middle of the lake with us. He said it was the warmest lake in Maine he had ever swam in. I agreed because I had just swam in the ocean in Maine, and there was a big difference. We jumped of the rock 6 times before we headed up to pack all our stuff to go back to Dedicek and Ceci's.

I was sad to leave the cabin and lake.
Maybe I'll go back some day.
