Kodak Moments

Here are a few of the most recent pictures I've taken at Kamp and a little caption to go with each.

This is just a cool picture. I like it. Marshall and Carli were rockstars, as well as their whole family! Miss them a lot already!

This is Karen, Tyler, Maddie and I. We became extremely close friends during our time at Kauai. This place isn't the same without them! Their hype energy and realness is truly missed!

This is my good friend Pat Luken. He and I got really close during the first 6 weeks of Kamp. For the Taney County Fair, he dressed as a cow for Cow Tipping, in which kids wrestled him for an hour straight. He's tough.

This is Gideon Strong. He's a cool kid. At our "Taney County Fair," we dress at Hillbillys and Hillbettys and play silly games. The tickets you earn get you a piece of watermelon or a chance at the Dunk Tank! Gideon was rolling in the dough.

Suga-booga

What a whirlwind of a few weeks this has been! Here's a short recap of Week 4.

1. over half of the families that came were from Louisiana.

2. they were the most energetic and excited group that we have had thus far.

3. i quickly became famous with the kids when i taught them how to beatbox using the words "boots and cats."

4. i became even more famous when i taught them the rap that Billy Bloomquist wrote to go along with it. They loved it so much that they begged me to write a second verse... so I did.

5. the kids became obsessed with my Harry Caray impersonation, although none of them actually knew who he was.

6. i had the opportunity to purchase one of my guys, Alex, his first Bible. we sat and talked about the structure of the Bible, how important it is to read it, and what some of my favorite verses were.

7. one of the ten year olds in the group was called "suga-booga" by his own mother the first night at dinner, so we called him that for the rest of the week. he also became famous quickly.

8. it was the first time that i cried when families left.

9. this week, i got moved up to the breakers group, which is the 12-18 year olds. its refreshing to have this move smack dab in the middle of the summer.

10. i'm starting to miss home, but the Lord has provided me with a couple of amazing friends this summer to counteract that.

The Lord is good. The WORD is good. Seriously. If you're not already, dig into it every day. It will change your heart.

Peace, love and pray for me, ya'll.
