Emailed from the Heidts: Update on Tim's Condition:
Good Morning Everyone,
We heard from Tim last night at about 12:30. They are back down from the mountain now and everyone one is doing fine. Tim said he was left behind when the group made their final push for the summit due to the intense sunlight off the snow and ice and that he didn’t have all his vision back yet. He said the rest of the group made it to the top and back safe and sound. He said the group all came back from the summit with sunburns, some even 2nd degree due to all the sunlight. He said the weather has been great, even reaching the 90’s. Today the weather is suppose to be in the high 60’s low 70’s, he said they are glad for the cooler weather. Tim said it was like you could reach up to the clouds and touch them, they were that close to the clouds. They are traveling to Nalchek (spelling) today to play soccer with the local kids and meet the children of the orphanage. Tim said they are crazy drivers over there. He said it is really green like a tropical forest over there. He said they had the same meal each night on the mountain ( Tim’s words ) a chunk of beef, 3 potatoes, vegetables and broth; a cross between stew and pot roast. One night they had meatloaf with their meal, he said he really didn’t care for it ( missed mom’s cooking ). He said they would be spending tonight at the cook’s house and his mother was going to cook them a home cooked meal. Now that had Tim’s interest ( food ). He said they were all having the times of their lives, and the trip was better than they all could have imagined. Tim ended the call saying the group was extremely excited about traveling around the country now, and getting to see all the sights.
Sounds like the group is having a great time and that they are proud of all their group and individual accomplishments. Hopefully this will be the life changing event in their lives that propels them forward with purpose and direction; and that there isn’t anything they can not accomplish in life. You could hear in Tim’s voice that they are all having a great time, and that the group is bonding into life long friends.
Congratulations to all the young men and all their leaders!!! Whorah!!!!
Thank you John for loving our boys so much, and taking care of them.
Kevin & Debbie Heidt
