This was a crazy week. It was my most profitable week ever as a treeplanter and I am totally checked out. Basically I have lost the ability to wreck my body to plant more trees, which is a vital skill for any treeplanter. Looks like I will be coasting for most of the rest of the year. Also my body is starting to seriously get worn down, again, happens faster every year. But I am still putting in lots of trees, turns out me going slow is faster than lots of peoples version of trying really hard.
One of the blocks we planted this week was a deep walk in a few hours in we heard a deep roar come from in the bushes (to be fair most of the block was bushes). Me and my foreman both looked at each other and then charged towards to roar which we then heard again, louder and even more unsettling. So we started yelling and heard it get farther away. Never saw it but were all fairly certain that we just scared away a Grizzly bear, which had been seen in that area previously. Epic.
We had a break in planting but it was too short so I was forced to just stay in camp. It was really hard to not get to see Heather. But I did get some good rest and Sabbath in. Spent time reflecting on the gospel. It has been really good for me to see my identity wrapped up primarily as 'Redeemed of the Lamb' and not all of the other things that I am striving to be. Humbling and good for me.
