Camp

Wow, it is unbelievable to think that a month has past since graduation (actually, more than a month!). I have been at Camp for about three and a half weeks. :) It is great! Really busy during kids camps, but nice and relaxing now that the first week of family camps is here! I have made some new friends, and have been growing a lot personally, and spiritually. God has taught me some wonderful things these past weeks! It is wonderful! I have been learning so much from my campers. It is amazing to see them grow in Christ, and to just be such an influence at such a memorable stage in their lives. Anyhow, as things are reaching the midpoint of summer, my exchange year draws very near. I can almost smell it. I received an email today from my host mother, and just the email reminded me how incredibly close to my exchange it really is! I am so excited!

Being at camp has helped me to prepare for my exchange. I have been home during the weekends, so it isnt too bad, but I have been placed in a new place with new people, and just new surroundings. This summer will definately be good for me - especially for learning to lean on God for everything - even strength and enthusiasm when I am weary (especially with the kids!).

Anyhow, I have to get back to camp stuff. I look forward to my year with anticipation, although I so wish I could bring all the people that I love in my pocket. How wonderful that would be! It is so great to be out of school and even more wonderful to be at camp! I am excited to see how God will further use me!
