Growing up at camp, I learned about mission trips from an early age. Occasionally, if I was lucky, I would get the chance to hear others share about their experience. These stories were incredible and were always the highlight of my week. Hearing people break down and become vulnerable in front of a crowd was shocking to me. Their passion and love inspired me to one day dream of going on one these mission trips myself.
So, here I am. After all those years of hoping and praying, I am finally here. Thank God! This has been the most incredible experience! Literally, a dream come true. It has been a blessing to spend a week with these people. They are so generous and so kind. One lady gave up a whole week of her vacation time to come help us at camp. It has taken a great amount of patience from everyone to fix the kinks in the schedule and get things running smoothly, but the kids are so great. I haven't heard one of them complain. In the end, we are all here for one purpose. We want to recreate camp to provide another safe environment to build relationships and worship God. It's only Tuesday and despite the change of location, camp feels exactly as it should, like a little piece of heaven.
I want to thank Jeff and Jen for giving me this amazing opportunity and let my parents know that I am safe and well.
