Summerblast!

This past week was an amazing week for me!  I had the pleasure of being a camp counselor to ten precious 2nd grade girls.  I don't even know where to start with all the amazing things God did this week!  I have lots of pics so I'll just sum the week up and then let you see the fun for yourself!  The one thing that stands out most in my mind are the nine kids that accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior!  On Monday, my friend Tracey had one of her 3rd grade boys share his news with me and it was the sweetest way to start off the week.   After hearing him share the great reminder of our need for Jesus I came home and fell to my knees in gratitude to the Lord for His goodness.  On Tuesday a sweet 2nd grade girl accepted Christ and we were able to celebrate with her!  Friday was a super special day as three of the 2nd grade girls were baptized!  Throughout the week we had an awesome time of worship, bible stories, scripture memory, crafts, games, swim times, celebrated a birthday and had great conversations with campers and counselors.  I feel so blessed that God hand picked me to be a part of His plan for these campers last week.  I do want to say that the days got busy and unfortunately I didn't get individual shots of all the girls; although I share a few each girl added such a special element to my week.

Co-counselors for the week!

On Monday we won the "most spirited" during worship time and got the honor of wearing this awesome flamingo hat for the day!

Craft time!

We celebrated Parker's 7th birthday with

balloons and cupcakes!

 

The girls enjoyed the water activities in the afternoon, especially the water balloons!

 

Sweet Haley!  I loved seeing her little personality throughout the week.  I don't think I ever heard her complain...that's HUGE!  It was so fun to hear her talk about her family, it was very clear how much she loves them.  She always made me smile!

It was so fun to see the girls do this because it was something I did as a little girl.  They even sang one of the songs I used to sing too!  

Martha!  This little girl was so stinkin' cute!  Every word that came out of her mouth

was awesome!

Maddie!  Love this little girl and her awesome fam!  She was a part of the other group of 2nd grade girls but because we camped next to them we got to share lots of fun times.

Watermelon!

what a special day!

 

Baptism was on Friday and sharing this very sweet day with these three girls

was a huge honor.

How cute is she in the flamingo hat?!

Spending the week with this girl was

icing on the cake!
