Camp.

So, it took me forever to post the last post for summer camp, so here it is. Let me just start by saying that this summer has been an absolute blast, one of the best I have ever had. Traveling the south, bringing the gospel to thousands of kids, and getting paid for it? Let's be real here, that is truly incredible. Truly blessed.

Lakeland was a blast, from having the opportunity to use the churches existing set, to having camp in an old shopping mall, to the giant gator stuck in the storm drains, it was a perfect way to end the summer. The owner/operator in Lakeland, Scott, was super sweet and together with our team provided an amazing camp experience for these campers.

Lets not forget Stephen Moore, this was his last week of camp, so blessed to have him as my director, had an absolute blast. I couldn't have hand picked a better leader and role model, thanks bud!

You know that you have a great job when you cannot wait to wake up at 5 in the morning to head off to set up camp. It went by so fast, I can't wait for it to happen again.

Thanks Zach for making camp even better than it already was and being there for support and wisdom, it was greatly appreciated. You are a man of God, don't let it falter, keep going strong and He will continue to bless you and your ministry.

Camp was amazing, cannot wait to do it again next year.

P.S.

O'Haire for 8 1/2 hours has got to be one of the worst things ever.

Saturday in Lakeland. Best Day of the Week.





So, many of you may know that I love to go to Disneyland. Maybe a little too much. This week for camp, we are in Lakeland, FL. This is about 45 minutes outside of Orlando, FL. So naturally, we had a day off of camp, soooo we go to Disney World. Naturally. We didn't go to the main four parks, but instead, since it was half as much, went to one of the water parks at Disney World. It was magical. Dreams came true people, let me tell you. Memories were made, slides were conquered, skin was burned, everything that should happen at Disney's Blizzard Beach happened. Anytime you go to a park that is decorated as if a freak snow storm has hit Florida, you know you are in for a treat.

Going between 50 and 60 mph down a water slide is the most amazing thing ever. But talk about a major wedgie, haha. I rode the tallest and fastest free fall water slides in the world! Pretty truly it is called summit plummet, dropping you down 125 ft. It was incredible. Talk about a rush. Then going to dinner at Bahama Breeze (by the way didn't know there was a specific type of Cuban bread, but it is freaking delicious. Thanks Megan, Melody, Katie and Anna! And then afterwards going to Downtown Disney Marketplace for some desert at Ghirardelli chocolate store. Not to mention just walking around DDM is super cool, being on water. It's a totally different feel than Anaheim, much more spread out, but less like a downtown feel, which I kinda missed, but then I remembered I'm at Disney World and I loved it, haha.

To top the night off, we watched fireworks over WDW while we were driving out of the park, such an amazing cap to an already amazing day.

Shout out to two rides an hour and Cuban Bread.

Late.

P.S. Cali get ready! Only 6 more days!!!!!!!!!!
