Falls creek is my home for the summer. The staffers that I work with are SO incredible. Y'all know I am a people person and I love meeting new people, especially ones that love Jesus. I work during free time at the missions center or missions village. I basically talk to kids about Christ all day, and why it's important to share the gospel at home, in their state, in their country and even "to the ends of the Earth." Time seems to fly by! It's Wednesday already. I mean really? I thought it was Sunday yesterday? Some great things that are going on here, last night wee had 161 campers give their lives to Christ. Did you catch that number? 161, ONE SIX ONE. Praise Jesus, folks! Afshin Ziafat is our speaker this week (look him up, his story is AMAZING). I love how up front he is with campers. He makes sure they know that living a life for Christ, TRULEY living it, is not easy. It's hard and sacrifices will have to be made. BUT, it's COMPLETELY WORTH IT. AH I could go on forever. I wake up everyday around 7 am and get to bed between 11-12 at night. Long days, but short weeks! I'm loving this summer already, and what I'm learning already. I am anxiously awaiting Fall, but I'm learning to not dwell on that instead live in the now and be used how I can HERE AND NOW. The more I'm here, the more I can see how hard it will be to leave this staff at the end of the summer. I'm meeting my family this weekend to eat! that will be great to see them, before they leave for Colorado (staci) and the beach!(my parents!) I'll see some Jake, too. :) OK. Gotta go.
Be Praying for students lives to be open to Christ. For staff, speakers and the band. That everything we do will be for Jesus and not for ourselves. Pray for endurance, days are long. Pray for patience. Pray for wisdom.
Love.
Miss you Mamoo.
(oh, how I'd do anything to be able to call and talk her ear off about camp.)
thats great to hear how God is moving where you are! no better place to be. I will remember you in my prayers (I might have to get something to write down on...cause there is always so much to pray for!) I pray God would BLESS you with energy and with His joy to be ever present on your face! Love you sister!
