Last Week

Hey friends and prayer warriors!

It's the last week of Camp! WOAH! Crazy huh? It's been a fast summer indeed! This week I'm Princess Happy Times as well as head counselor over the junior staff. So far it's been a good week. We (the college bound staff) are definitely tired and many of us are getting sick.







Last night I was put into the Chippewa cabin because the senior counselor (Jessica) wasn't feeling good. I slept in their cabin and stayed with them all this morning. Jessica is with them now, but we don't know how she will feel later on.


So this week is looking to be a good week. Please pray for strength, energy and health for this week.
As I was in the Chippewa, one of the girls talked about how she was unsure if she was really saved or not and she wanted to make that decision, so pray that she will get to do that!





If you think of it, many of us are leaving soon for college. Jonathan Frost is leaving Thursday to go back to college in Boston, Arianna is leaving Saturday to drive down to North Carolina, and Abbie is leaving sometime next week for Pennsylvania. Please pray for safe travels for them and that they would have a great year in school. When camp ends, I will be going straight into the classroom and trying to help my mentor teacher prepare for the upcoming school year. I'm beyond excited to start student teaching and am thankful for the opportunity to be student teaching in the same town that I live in. 

Thanks for all the prayers!!

Week 6 is almost over

Believer it or not, week 6 is almost over!! I can't believe how fast the summer has gone by. This week I am in a cabin. I'm in the Shawnee cabin and have 5 campers, three who are 12 and two who are 11. It has been a great week thus far and my girls are so excited to be here. My girls want to get honor cabin, so they have picked Echo's hut everyday for cabin time. Right now they are really hoping for tubby's which is an ice cream place that give free ice cream to the first place team on wednesday night. I'm also teaching canoeing which has been really fun. The kids are excited and want to learn which is great! Today I taught them how to tip the canoe and run off of it. The girls who jumped in really loved it!!

Last night I had a terrible migraine and was feeling really sick. After some sleep and taking my medicine, I'm feeling better. However, I do have a cold which includes a cough and stuffy nose. I'm hoping that I'll get better and not worse, so please pray about that since I do have one more week of camp.

Many hands make light work

Hey prayer friends! I have some quick updates for you!!

So this week has been great! I do have some prayer requests that we would love some prayer on. So last year, during week 2, we had to send campers home and close camp for that week and the week after. Many counselors that are here this week were also here that week. On Tuesday night, we had 2 campers (one boy and one girl )throw up. It was nothing big and they did not have a fever. We believe it was a combination of the food not settling well, the kids not drinking enough and running a lot. Wednesday night, we sent that one girl home because she was still not feeling well. We also had 2 girls, 1 boy, 1 kickapoo (little child) and 1 waitress who were not feeling well or had a fever. So please pray that all those who are not feeling well start to get better. Please also pray for those who were counselors the week last year that had everyone sick. I'm praying that they will not be stressed and worried, but to trust God in everything!


Thanks again!!
