@ Camp!

Hey all,

Well, we have arrived at the camp location, and the mountains are amazing! We have a much smaller camp than we have in the past, but that does give us more one-on-one time with the students, so please pray that God will use this to His Glory.

The weather has been quite hot so far, and as always, the first couple of days take a little ironing out some of the routine for the week, but it sounds like we are doing much better than last year on the scheduling, and the hotel is more cooperative this year than last, so that is definitely an answer to prayers.

Tomorrow, we are doing a community service project here in the town where we are having the camp. We've not done this before, but it was something that we discussed after last year and another way we could help show the community that there is something different about our group than others that come into this area to just climb. Not 100% sure what all we will be doing, but I think we are going to be repairing a sign for the community and doing some general clean up in the area. So, that will be our "adventure activity" for the day. Please pray that all goes well!

Still no news on the missing bag, but so far, Erin is still hanging in there, so please continue to pray that her bag will arrive without any further delay, because, though the girls on our team have been great about making sure she has what she needs, theres just something about having your own stuff with you that helps put you at ease a little.

Well, I guess that's about it for now, but we do have an internet cafe a couple doors down from the hotel, so hopefully, I will have a chance for another update in a couple days!

So you're finally there huh?! Tell Sami hello for me and I hope the project goes well. God has placed at the camp exactly who He wants there and I'm excited to see what unfolds. Keep us posted about the week's events. Hope you're getting some sleep with Toby's zzzzzzs lol.
