It's just two weeks before I start on my cross the country trip to Idaho. First I'll stop for two weeks in Helena-West Helena for a two week mission trip. I'll be helping Ben and Leonora Newell, 2 CBF missionaries as the conduct their 8th ACC (All Church Conference) swimming, sports, church camp. This will be the 9th year of swimming for the children on Helena-West Helena.

About 120 plus volunteers from maybe 10 different states will be there over the two weeks helping and getting to know the children of Helena-West Helena. It has been great over the hyears making friends with the town's people. The county has been citted as one of the 20th poorest counties in the US, and CBF sent there the Newells there as part of nation wide effort to send encouragement and help to these 20 counties.

So far all my efforts have been to get the car ready and make the connections with other coworkers that will help everything go smoothly.
