Whoa! I am so sorry it's been so long!!! I've been so busy busy busy!!!
This past week I've been a VBS leader for 4th-6th graders! I love it so much because I actually get to be WITH the kids and not just for a short time as I am with lifeguarding and such, I just love it! It almost makes me want to be a counselor.... except... then I think about it... haha :)
We started out theology classes back up! (SOOOO pumped!!!)
Yesterday we learned about Sadistic views. That people view God as the punisher, that if something bad happens it's because YOU did something to upset God. and I'd be a liar if I told you I've never thought that way before about myself. I'm not saying that I thought that way for a long period of time, but the thought has definitely popped in my head like "oh, what'd I do to upset God?" but it is fully in God's plan what happens!
Another thing I've been soooo much more vocal about is the fact that YES God predestined us, buttttt that does not mean it is not in his plan that he uses us as tools to lead others into his kingdom, so don't ever. ever. EVER. pass up an opportunity to witness to people about Gods love :)

Wellllll Hello! :)
Completed day 2! It was sooo hot yesterday!!! AND STILL NO GIRLS SWAM! I don't know what is going on with them this week... Every single boy swam though! I am no longer the boys lifeguard.. soo.... I had a bunch of free time to do other things that needed to get done! Which is good!
We had a big storm last night... so we had to end counselor hunt early, and played Knock Out in the gym, then sent them to bed early! (No one complained!) Mightttt have had to do with the fact that the lightning was crazy lighting up the sky last night and the thunder was going and going and going! :) It was super cool though! I absolutely love storms! But, I gotta say. Being in a camper during a windy storm. NOT the funnest thing around, but it was pretty sweet still!!!
Today is already alot cooler! I see lots of hoodies as I look out to flag pole! And lots of coffee when it comes to staff! Please pray that we keep our energy and enthusiasm levels up! We are slowly losing that as this is our last week, EVERYONE in staff meeting was draining today! So keep us in your prayers!
Lately we've been learning alot about the flesh and the spirit and all that it does for us and what it doesn't do for us!
AND We are getting tons of rain!!! YAY!!!! :)

Adventure #25
Hey! Sorry it's been such a long time!!! Been so insanely busy!!!
I had an amazing time at home! I missed my family sooo much!!! It was amazing getting to see my best friend! I miss her like crazy all ready! I got to spend some awesome time with my adopted Sister too! (Miss ya Tangers!)
I got back and I moved in with a new family, they are awesome!!! I get a basement to myself and its really nice, they have 3 amazing kiddos! Zach, Alyssa and Josh! :) I love them so very much!
I went to the lake(meaning multiple lakes...) both on Saturday and on Sunday! Rode some jetski's (drove them too!) and only fell off a couple hundred times... haha, rode the boat and swam around! Lets just say... I'm still sore! AND we plan on going back this weekend too... haha
It is so good to be back in this church also! (Not that I didn't absolutely love being in my home church, I love that one! DEFF something I was super excited was to hear Pastor Buford preach once again!) I love this church here so much because it's alot like my church back home, so I feel at home! It's just "slightly" bigger(meaning alot) This past Sunday we got to hear from Missionaries our church sent over to Uganda for about 2 months! It was awesome... makes me want to go! :) (I'm praying about all opportunities for everything)
Week 3 day 1 of camp is complete!!! It was good! We have 18ish campers(ish because I'm not 100% sure)
It's going great! Its a pretty good group of kids! 7th-9th grade, so we deal with some attitudes, but that also may be due to the fact its the final week and everyones running low on enthusiasm, so please keep us in your prayers! :)
Also pray for the weather! It's going to be in the late 90's and 100's all week! So just pray that we all remember to drink water! It was 101 yesterday and NO GIRLS SWAM, I was just like "really? I'd be in this pool if I could..." haha, it really is going great though! :) Thanks for the prayers!
