Yesterday was a busy day at the state fair. I helped work the booth with Rick Cornfield for most of the day. It was a great time of sharing what Victory is about, getting kids signed up for a chance to win a free week of camp, and bragging on Christ. It was truly a great time. I'm going to be back at the fair for the next few days, then back again next weekend. When I get back on Monday, I'll post a review of this weekend and my trip.

Arrival

Well, I made back to Victory safe and sound. I pulled in around 6:17pm on Friday, and got settled in. With five other interns, we make up a small group that will be learning everything we can about working at the camp, and serving in camping ministries. When I compile my thoughts I will type an extended post. Thanks for all your prayers as I traveled. God's hand was seen the whole trip.

Today's Trek... Portal ND - Fort St. John BC. All I gots to say is... Canadian drivers are crazy at night.

Stopped for the night in Janesville, WI.

The Move

Well, everything is packed and ready to go. I just need to hop in my car and drive. So, unless I get free internet on an overnight stop to update the road trip. See you all in Alaska!

HOME?

Well, I made it back to PA safely. Thanks for all those that have prayed for safe travel. I am only here for about 10 days or so before I leave for AK. Sorry to all of those that want to see me before I leave for AK. What I can say, is that I will be back for an extended time in December. As for home, it does feel different being here. Alaska feels more like home now, and this feels like a short vacation away from work. Can't wait to get back.
Be in prayers as I get ready for my road trip back to AK. 5,000 miles.

ITS OVER... for now.

The summer camp season ended on Saturday. But that doesn't mean that work is over. For the last few days I have been part of the after season work. I have caught up on orders, cleaning, and other AV work. Now it is time for me to depart until I start my drive up. It has been an eventful summer. I have seen many prayers answered. And with the end of summer comes the longing to become more involved in the lives of these campers. Many struggle with home life, alcohol, drugs, depression, cutting, and much more. Others have it easy. But no matter what, many of them just need someone to love on them. With the internship starting up, it is a chance to explore what can be done to connect with these campers. More to come soon...
