Camp has come and gone

Wow, I can't believe our first camp is already over. It feels like I was waiting my entire summer for this camp to come and now in a blink of an eye it is already over. Maybe it went by so quickly because it was such an amazing, exciting, and challenging week. It took a day or two to get in the swing of things, it's a different experience to be in charge of all of the planning of camp and also be behind the scenes, planning environments, setting up, and trying to make sure that everything runs smoothly. This camp was for the church in Kunda, and this is also my third camp with some of these people. The first time I met them was back in 2008 and it was so incredibly exciting to see how everyone had grown up, and how basically all of the students were now small group leaders, and running many different aspects of the camp. I can't begin to explain how awesome it was to catch up with many of these old friends and see all the life change that has occurred, and just to talk, and laugh with all of them. There is nothing more exciting than to be in a place you love, doing what you feel like you are good at, and being part of positive life change. It was also so exciting to see how my story was used, how God used the experiences in my life to speak directly to the hearts of some of the friends/students that I hold dearly to my heart. Wow, what a blessing to be used in that way. The whole week was so amazing, to be able to sit and watch the heart of our Father working in the hearts of youth, and filling everyone with such Joy, to see friendships form with people from all walks of life, different ages, and from different countries. All in all our first camp was a great success, it was such a bittersweet goodbye when the time came for us to leave, and after a few very needed nights of good sleep, a short 2 day vacation to the beach I am ready for what our next camp has to bring. Our next American team comes from Northpoint on Friday, we do training on Saturday and then all of our students come on Sunday. AND I CAN'T WAIT.

I ask that you still keep praying for our team, especially because at this camp our camp director Riina won't be there due to work so I am taking over her responsibilities, and now along with being an intern I will be the director. I'm excited for the challenge, and pray that I can take on the responsibilities, and be a successful leader. pray for open minded students, for safe travels for our American team, and a healthy blessed week of camp.

love all of you,
