CAMP WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!!! =) Whew... so much to tell, so little space. Dude, Shane and Shane rock... lol actually, they acoustic.. lol.. hmm.. okay let's start with the Mountains. My goodness, I have never been so taken away by such a thing. I couldn't help but to gaze at them as we drove. Just to sit and think about God's creations, and how he is every where. How he made those mountains, and the grass, and the trees... it was all so powerful. Sorry, Beth, I didn't keep you much company for a little bit, I had my head stuck else where, I still love you, though, and we had lots of fun together. "Who's Macon Georgia?" "The Country Cup Board" "Oh look, it's Hawkins(ion)ville." lol Great times. " It's better to let it out, and bare the shame, than to hold it in and bare the Pain." lol. Okay, moving on, so we got there Monday and we just hung out and did a little unpacking and showering and such and then we headed to opening cele. and then Late night.. both we awesome. Then, Tuesday, we woke up, got dressed, headed to breakfeast, then morning celebration and afterwords, we went to our questgroups, which is basically a camp conselor took the age group of girls and guys and we had open discussion and talked about a lot. Hmm, we also had like a bible study lesson thing before that. Then we had ropes and rec. which was awesome. We did some army crawl thing and frisbee and stuff, and then we took showers, had dinner, evening cele., Church group time (which was just like open discussion, it was awesome) and then Late night... it was also my b-day... =) it was the best bday ever... I am so thankful I got to spend it where I did and with the people I did, I couldn't of asked for anything more! Wednesday was the same thing cept we had ropes instead of rec.. and I met this really awesome girl named JoAnna, and we talked for a bit, and than got to work. Thursday we went whitewater rafting... yeah.. it was sooooooooooo stinking awesome! I was like.. WHEEEEEEE!!!!! =) Friday was Good byes.. =( All kinds of sadness, I didn't wanna leave. *Sighs* it's okay, though, we have a lot coming up to look forward to. Worship was so moving. Shane and Shane were our worship leaders, and man, they were so good. Wade Morris is an awesome Preacher. He did an excellent job, too. God moved, and he moved in an exciting way. I've been called to Missions, and just basically being completely open about my faith... I'm really excited about it. Hill and I are beginning an outreach thing in school... I'm really excited. Our youth group is wonderful. The encouragement between everyone could be enough for like 500 youth groups.. =) But... we could still use more, so keep it up, guys. Also, our teamwork is really good. I've learned so much about our youth group and about the people in it. They are "punk rock" kids and I've gotten a lot closer to everyone. Beth and JJ are awesome people, and so is Mike. "Mom" or Cathy or Mrs. Poirier is a very cool woman, she's pretty brave for wanting to come with us to camp.. lol but she loved it. Ms. Irene is such a sweetheart. She does so much for us... and she took time out to take us to camp... and I love her! Chris, too, he's my buddy. All of you guys are awesome, amazing people, and I'm thankful to know every single one of you! Okay, well enough of the mushyness, it's time to get crazy for Jesus...=) I'm out.
