NO SLEEP

Howdy!

Has it really been since May 8th that I wrote on this last? Wow time has flown. I have been out here a month now and it's so much fun. There have been some really down days but I am getting so connected with some people now and doing a lot of fun things. This last week I went hiking and then got lost on the way down making us bush wack back to the road. I tasted some really good salmon, slept a lot, went to Starbucks too many times to count, had a girls night Bible Study and the latest adventure was an all nighter.

Last night I was so tired and had heat exhaustion from lifeguarding all day in the sun so I decided to get hyper and have some caffeine. We went to Starbucks and I had a Caffe Americano which has 4 shots of expresso. My body is not used to that in the least. So at counselor training seminar last night Alycia and I were so hyper. The caffeine never wore off as we tried to sleep outside on the trampolines. At 3:20 in the morning we fell asleep only to be woken up 26 minutes later to the sprinklers pouring water down on us. We sprinted to the deck and stayed there for a bit. At 5 we made some popcorn and watched the sunrise and listened to the birds. Then we showered got all dolled up and are now on the computers waiting for breakfast and the seminar again. Should be a long day!

I have been on lifeguarding a lot which has been good. Some people here just call it life tanning cuz that's pretty much all we do. Just a little more than 2 weeks and it will be staff training. There is much to do at camp still like finishing the stairs, getting the inflatables in the water, finishing the bathroom and lots of maintenance. It looks so good and we are all amped for the summer. Please continue to pray for kids that are coming and for those that haven't registered yet and are in the process of deciding if they want to or not. Pray that God will use us the staff to reach everyone and really like for His glory in our daily lives. It has been amazing being here, meeting so many people, really growing in my faith, and just enjoying the summer. I hope to write soon again more about what I have been learning spiritually so that it might encourage you and help you remain faithful in prayer.

Thanks for reading this little piece of note worthy news :) God bless! Later days!
