On June 21 my family went boating with the Hainsworths. We were on the boat when we hit this tree growing from the bottom of the lake. The lake had a small island in the middle that was hard to see. The tree branch made a large hole in the bottom of the boat. Water started coming into the boat. Soon the back of the boat was full of water. We were all rushing into the front, well except Adam. He was just sitting in the back of the boat not knowing what was happening happy as can be. Finally, he went to the front. My mom led us in a prayer. I felt a warm feeling inside that we were going to be O.K. Brother Hainsworth raced us back to the dock and he was able to pull the boat out before it sank. We all made it safely out and then my family and I said a thank you prayer. I am so thankful that I can pray to Heavenly Father whenever I need help.
Here's a picture of the inside of the boat after most of the water drained out.

This same thing happened to my brother two weeks ago in Lake Mead. Thank goodness for life jackets and good prayers!
Ali, that was a really scary experience. I'm glad you all are alright.
Allie, this is an adventure I'll never forget. I hope you will come on our boat again when we get it fixed. I'm glad we were all ok and no one was hurt and that our prayers were answered.
Totally freaky! Glad you remembered prayer right away. Maybe Adam was trying to keep his foot in the hole.
You can never have too much excitement. I love your school on wheels idea too!
