The Last Day...



It's Friday, the last day of SC'08. Bitter-sweet. I will definately miss the nearly 500 kids learning about the Savior. I will miss our 7am volunteer meetings and waking up in the middle of the night to go to the church to get ready for the morning. I'm going to miss the smiles on the kids faces and the volunteers who selflessly give their time and energy away. I'm going to miss the phone calls and emails from parents about how their child is applying what they've learned at the camp. I'm going to miss the times of singing.

I'm looking forward to a good night of sleep and being with my family. Most of all, I'm looking forward to seeing and hearing about all the good fruit that comes from God at work in SC'08. We planted alot of seed this week. Moms and dads are watering. God brings the growth. Pray to that end.

There's still one day left with some very exciting elements. Pray that Mr. Somerville can make it to the top!!!! Enjoy!
Mr. B

It's here and I'm loving it!!!

This morning is the start of day 3! God has been so good to us in allowing the kids to learn about Love and Contentment the first 2 days.

Some highlights for me thus far have been the times of singing (Boom and the Love song in particular) as well as watching the kids apply what they've learned when they are playing the games and going home. One little girl woke up at 1:00AM to clean the house as a way to express love to her mom. Her mom sent her to bed but I love the fact that this little girl was thinking about ways to serve and love her family in the middle of the night, long after she had been put to bed.

May God continue to bless the remaining days!

Kate Price has posted some great pics from the camp here http://beautifulinheritance.blogspot.com/2008/06/summer-celebration-day-1.html

I'll try to post some updates throughout the week and the week following the camp!

SHINE!
