A Perfect End, and a Perfect Beginning!


Yo Yo!

God is GOOD! Amen!

Hello everyone, the tour is going great, and blessing after blessing has come our way when we left our first camp, then arriving at our second. We had the opportunity to hang with the staff at Camp Silversides for a night and this morning, which was saweeet! And last night, God gave us the perfect send-off; picture this:

Your hanging out inside the dinning hall when it starts to rain...you look outside and you see that it's a light rain, and the sun is shinning at the same time. You go out and stand in the rain, then you run to the dock, cause you want to see the whole scenery...right? SO while you're about half way to the dock, you look to the right, and see two full rainbows...and I'm talking one super bright one that had extra colors (Ben- "There's Teal in that Rainbow! Rainbows don't have Teal in them!!") And then another larger rainbow that was like a large shadow of the first one...it was simply amazing!

THEN, we left the next day, and drove over to SABC, right near Little Bow Lake, and got settled. Some of us went to go check out the beach after we started our laundry, and met John, the Maintenance Chief of the camp. He was like "You guys must be the dance team...wanna go wake boarding??" And we were like "YES!" So we raced back to tell the others and had a "perfect setting," as John said "for a wake board session". So we spent the afternoon wake boarding and having a blast!! The campers for this camp come around seven tomorrow, and the team is really pumped to meet new people, connect with more kids, and grow in new ways. God has so much more for us and the kids we'll meet, and He wants whats best, and has the best plans set up, we just got to keep the reins in His hands.

As a side note- I grew up going to this camp, and it's a huge blessing to be doing ministry here this weekend- being able to give back to this place that has been a huge part of my life. Camp is where big things happen; Camp is where kids come closer to God, where they can be themselves, where they can open up about things that they never would normally, and RU has a huge opportunity to be a part of that!
Pray for freedom this weekend for kids, and that God will use us as transparent and real people, not distant, VIP super stars!

Thanks for all your support, we are all in this together. PS-love you mom and dad! haha
