Whew... I just got back from a long, but super fantastic, week at camp. We started out with a lot more kids from our chrurch saying they were going than actually went, but God had the ones go that He wanted. The messages preached by Bro. Johnson were such a blessing this year, and I know God did work in many hearts and lives, which that is the whole purpose! This year there were 280 campers from 14 different churches, which is the most they have had. It just keeps growing every year! I feel so blessed to have been able to go and help with the different activities and kids. The first day I helped judge the singing competitions, there were some very talented teenagers there.. wow!!! Then I signed up boys for the basketball shootout and kept their points, and ended up with a not so nice sunburn (althoguh I did put on sunscreen, working in skincare I know better, it just wore off and I didn't have time to reapply, whoa that was a rabbit trail). I was also one of the judges of the songleading competitions, helped one of my friends with the Jr. girls volleyball games, and helped tally up all the points to find who placed what in the music competitions. Last year I only had one girl camper, and it was my first year going, actually just a few months after I had move here, so I didn't know people that well and wasn't asked to help with anything. This year I thought it would be like just watching our boys when they competed, playing the piano for them, and then my brother and I had to sing a special one night. But....... as soon as I got there, "Katherine, can you judge singing competitions in 20 minutes?" Then it just went from there. I love helping and serving though so it was really a blessing, and I am so glad I went!!! Sorry, I will stop ramblign on now here some pictures I will post some more throughout the week too. Have an amzing weekend ya'll!!!
One major highlight, is the arm wrestling competitions Tuesday and Wednesday nights. So fun watching!!! I love their faces in this picture, they are both looking intensely competitive!
