Week Nine!

Well...here we are...at the end of another week of camp. What a nice week this has been! It was a smaller camp, and they ate less food...so kitchen work wasn't has hard ;-)! Also, its been much cooler this past week, like as I'm writing this I'm sitting in McDonalds wearing a sweater ( which I have been all day. ) This past week was a week of spiritual battles, especially for the counselors. Many of the campers who came this past week came from rougher homes and backgrounds. I know the Lord used the preachers to work in each of the campers lives. It was so neat for me, because of Friday night I was able to lead devotions in Mya's cabin. That was a first for me, and I am so glad I was able to minister in that way. I gave a devotion on the Proverbs 31 woman and on inward beauty, rather than outward beauty. And so here we are, on our final week of camp. Great friends and other staff members are returning to their homes this weekend, and it is so hard to watch each of them go home. Next weekend the rest of us will return to our homes. Though I am glad to return to my family, friends, and home church, it is always sad leaving the new friends I made at camp. Tonight at camp we will be watching the Summer in Review. Its going to be a fun time of skits, the video, testimonies, and afterwards ICE CREAM! Thank you to all of you who have shown me love and support through this entire summer. Thank you for reading this blog week after week. Thank you for those who emailed me throughout the week ( especially Alexia :-)! Thank you to my parents for sending me cards :-) I loved getting them in the mail. I will be making a post next week, so lets focus on this past week and look at some pictures!!!

Of course I had to eat without my hands too, because I sat with that cabin all week.

Sorry! My pictures seem to have gotten out of order...so sorry for the bit of randomness in the way the pictures line up.
