All good thing must come to an end

We are headed home & ended the week on a great note!!








Today we celebrated Pastor Edd's birthday!! I am so grateful for him giving his week to be with us. Thanks Jayne & Ethan for sharing him ;-)



I'm also extremely grateful for the counselors that I spent the week with...Jessie Briggs, Jennifer Campbell, Dana Fiedler & Paul Herndon. Paul is the Dixsonville summer missionary & a great young man!! He is marrying Kayla Smith (Steve & Lori's daughter) in January. I was blessed beyond measure to have time with these wonderful folks!!



We've had a great week together!! Thanks to parents for sharing their awesome kids w/ us!! I am truly blessed & love my "job!"


Now I'm ready for a nice, hot shower & some special love from baby girl who I think might be ready to see me...maybe Mr. Daniel is ready to see me also ;-)





Blessings!!
Laurie

All is well!

Tuesday & Wednesday have been great days!!!


We have had lots of fun & have been talking about faith in God as well as obedience to God.


We've learned about "Superheros" like Joshua & the spies going into the Promise Land. Last night, Pastor Mike talked about David sparing King Saul's life instead only taking his spear & water jug.



The kids have also been learning about what a "Quiet Time" is & how to have one. They read a devotion each morning on their bunk to prepare them for the Scriptures & truths we will be talking about that day.








This morning before our church group time, we found the kids had organized themselves a nice game of volleyball in the sand court by our meeting pavilion. It was so much fun!! We are planning another one tomorrow!!








Today is Spirit Day so we've been dressed in RED & being silly with some surprises that have arrived in the mail as well as some special decorated items the kids did before we left...grown-ups too!!!



Rec today was Superheros & Sidekicks. It involved splashballs & blindfolds...sounds like fun huh?!? Haha!








Tonight, we are surprising the kids w/ pizza for supper during a special church group time!! Looking forward some extra time hanging out together.

Quick shout out to the FBC Girls for winning the first day of CLEANEST CABIN!!!! Way to go girls!!!! Parents, which also means they can do it & home!


Thanks so much for the sweet notes & prayers from so many of you!!! We are very grateful!!

First Day

Well, the first day of camp is officially in the books!! We've loaded the bus, unloaded the bus & set up "home" for the next 4 days.












Today was a good day & everyone is ready for what the rest of the week holds. We even got to celebrate Lexie's b-day!!


God is already working in the lives of some our kids so please continue to pray for all of us.








Please pray for physical needs...it's HOT!!!!! With heat index, it's 105-110!! We are pushing lots of water but that's a lot of hot!









Pray for how God will speak to each camper & that they would be obedient.






We are looking forward to lots of fun & seeing the great things God will do in the days to come!!









Thanks for your prayers!
Laurie
