WEEK1

PART1:
Last night as a few of us were having a conversation about how to set up chapel for what will be the SAR (SALT, Alpine, Ranch) Chapel, we realized that it is already Friday. Where did this week go. And it was just the other day that I celebrated 1 month of being here for what is the summer camp season. And that 1 month has flown by. I also saw that in my fifth summer of being here, this was the best start so far. We had some bumps, but all in all, it was the best.

PART2:
Ok, now it is Monday. The weekend went by too fast. Saturday we went in to do some bank stuff, get some needed things, and to get some PA Turkey Hill Iced Tea. We couldn't believe it when we saw it. So we bought some, then e-mailed Turkey Hill. Response positive.
In other news, UP was amazing.
So campers arrived, and God kept a rain storm away until the campers were inside. Then it poured. Then we prayed. And as the campers were leaving chapel, it stopped. God at work.

PART3:
So far, the number 1 thing on the campers favorite list has been water front. When week one ended, Chapel took the #1 spot. It was amazing. The band, in which I am the drummer for, has taken worship to a whole new level. We put out so much energy into the music, and God continues to fill us up. Today was the first day that I felt drained. I hurt. A few of us are drained. We know that the devil is trying to take us out, but we have been praying continually for strength and wisdom.

PART4:
The weekends were once a time to get away, and when it came time for our Sunday evening prayer and praise, many people would want to skip out. But lately, we took the weekend to another level. With movies, outings, good food, and now a prayer and worship, we don't really want to leave. Sunday "connections" time was only scheduled for about an hour, but after three hours, we just wanted to keep going on in worship, prayer, and fellowship. It was truly an amazing time of reconnecting with God and praying for each other.
