I see the King of glory, coming on the clouds with fire.

This week is already looking like something fantastic. Not only is counselling with Nathan, a guy my age from New Zealand, a super sweet match, but it's a Junior High week! My favourites. It gets better though... for the first time ever, I have some campers who I had last summer for a second time! I actually had a picture of me and them glued in the back of my bible since last summer. It's so sweet. We had the most incredible conversations ever last night, huge questions... By far the best first night in a cabin I've ever had, and one of the better ones in general as well. My prayer is that this would be tip of the iceberg, and I echo Nathan's prayer that we'd really see the heart of what's going on with these boys, in their lives and faiths. I'm praying that parting with these boys at the end of the week would tear me apart like never before.

Also really sweet is being made a Club Edge host this week, so I get to hang out with a group of 5 guys and 5 girls during activities this week, and go with them to all of the more intense activities (challenge course, rocket dock, water skiing, biking, etc), and I have a boy in my group who I counselled during a retreat in Kaleo and had made a note to pray for when he left (hadn't kept up with that very well, unfortunately...) so that's really sweet as well! My prayer is that I'd be able to build really significant relationships with these campers as I adventure with them, as one of my few clear memories of being a camper was hanging out with my Club Edge leader.

That's all for now, I'll try and throw pictures up as much as I can... Often I haven't uploaded them and gotten them sorted until after I've blogged, so they might be in separate posts.
