Camp!

This past week I camp counseled at Camp Quaker Heights in Eldora, IA.  It was SUCH a blessing!! The way the camp is set up is every camper is assigned to a counselor, and you are placed in the same cabin.  As a kid I used to LOVE attending this camp.  It's a week long full of no parental authority, and new friends :)  The minute it ended I would already be prepared for the next summers' camp to begin.  It's a time to completely seclude yourself from the rest of the world, to solely dedicate your time and energy into learning, and expanding your personal relationship and understanding of Christ.  Coming in as a counselor was a bit unnerving, because I remember from when I went to camp that my counselors played an enormous factor into my overall camp experience.  Fortunately I had an OUTSTANDING group of young gals to love on and pour into the entire week!  They all got along so excellently.  They even pushed all the bunks together in order to be closer to eachother while sleeping.  By the end of the week they all had a precious encounter with the holy spirit :)  It was amazing to see the transformation in their attitudes from the beginning of the week compared to the end.  They weren't afraid to speak their minds, and ask me questions about my own testamony of becoming a Christian.  It is so neat to be on the other end of the camp experience. God is SO incredibly good and it's truly a joy to see the love of Christ in preteens' lives.  I ask that you pray for my cabin girls, and that they  may continue their love for Christ and become hungry for the word of God! 

SWAZILAND IS IN 9 DAYS! :)  Time is FLYING!  Prayers for the team!! God bless you!
