Camp Email

Encouragement and Prayers have been such a blessing to me, but also to other staff and as well just camp in general. Please pray for us as we begin our first of eight weeks here, that we could be instruments for God's use. Pray that guests, campers, volunteers BASICALLY: everyone who sets foot on camp property would feel the LOVE and SHALOM of Christ.

I'd love to hear what you are up to this summer, whats going on in your life. I REALLY like getting mail at camp and hearing what crazy stories you might have to share. Even if there are any prayer requests, joys, hopes, struggles that I can pray with you for. You can email me (or other staff and campers you may know) at camp's website:

Love and Blessings.

prom pictures.

I felt like I should post some Prom Pictures. We took these pictures before prom at my friend Tessa's house. She had so many great places to take pictures that it actually looks like we went to a bunch of different places.

Most of the pictures I have are with my friends. My mom accidentally forgot to put the camera card back in the camera so I didn't actually take any pictures on the camera. Here's one we got:

What is Love?

These weeks have flown by! Last time I posted I was just getting over the grossness of exams, and since then have had prom, graduated, AND finished two weeks of staff training!! This is SO CRAZY! haha :)

Life is good though. I love Jesus. I feel blessed.

Staff training was a week of renewal, bonding, and learning. Its funny because last year in kitchen I missed out on alot of the counsellor training stuff because I was in kitchen training. It is cool to see the other side of things now though.

I am so stoked for Special needs week this coming week. I am going to be an actual counsellor! I'm nervous. I'm excited. Special needs weeks are always the most trying weeks, but also the most rewarding.

Jesus taught me this week to be open to Him. He is continually teaching me about his love. Its cool because the theme for this summer at camp is "This is Love" but even before I knew that I was learning about God's love for his children. I see this summer as a grand opportunity God is using me to grow in Him before YWAM and also stretching me and molding me. I know that love is something that all Christians should be challenged with. What is Love? Why do we love? Why does God love us?

This is are theme passage for the summer from 1 John 4:9-11, but I challenge you to read the whole passage (or even Book..don't worry 1 John is not that long :) hehe). What is Love?

This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
