thinking back...
montlure.
i can't describe my experience that i had at montlure this past week. people have asked me, but i am speechless and i'm not quite sure what to say. amazing wouldnt even make the cut.
montlure is a place where it doesn't matter the type of person you are, how you look, act, everyone is treated with the same amount of respect and decency as everyone else.
at montlure, there is never a bad or boring moment. every single thing you do at montlure is fun, inspirational, or something that will benefit you in some way.
even me trying to describe this right now is making me mad because i can't seem to find the right words to say when writing about montlure.
the people i met at montlure could easily have been better than most of the people i've ever met in my entire life. i grew closer with some of those kids than most people will in their entire lives. by the end of the week, i felt that those people had not only become some of my best friends, but they were my family. and we all lived together in gorgeous greer, arizona. and it was the best experience of my entire life.
and these words aren't even close to my experience at camp. but i did my best, and i just felt i needed to get that out into the open. this camp has changed my life, and i don't know why i never discovered it sooner. i can't wait until next summer. i want to start counting down the days. hahaa.. oh dear. but i hope that i can keep in touch with everyone, and see them outside of camp. because i know for a fact that i can NOT wait another whole year to see some of the friends i made up there.
i miss it so incredibly much it hurts to think about it.
i miss cutting everyone in line with chris during meals, i miss the greennnn trees, i miss jason getting hit in the the head by chelsea during teatherball, i miss laughing for a half hour straight with everyone in small group about nothing in particular, i miss going to every other impact group except my own, i miss being hardcore wearing scarves with aaron, i miss the squirrel calls (and elk, and crow...), i miss singing the songs like sanctuary and breathe and the montlure song, i miss gazing up at the stars during twilight chappel, i miss first time montlure initiation with chris and jason, i miss watching tim and aaron and nate and jordan with amazing talent on the guitar, i miss the dance on the last night, i miss trying to steal nates UPS hat, i miss the flying chipmunks, i miss 80s day, and the list just goes onnn and onn...
but this camp really teaches you alot about life. its an experience that i can't put into words because either i will not say it right, or it will come out weird. but montlure has changed me in so many ways and i can't wait to go again.
i loovvee you guysss!!!
