Week 3: Closer

Hola, everyone! My deadline for finishing this is closer than usual because I'm leaving for Challenge in like 45 minutes! (Which I'm super excited about.) So I can't say everything I want to, but I'm praying God guides me in saying what will bless you most.

This week was AMAZING. There were over 400 campers; more than any other week in Hidden Acres history. So lots of staff members were pretty stressed/nervous beforehand about how stuff would go because camp is crazy even with just 200 kids. Thankfully though, God gave me lots of rest over the weekend, an optimistic spirit, incredible peace heading into the week, and confidence that more kids would just mean more of His power displayed in mighty works. Which, of course, is exactly how it went down.

In Johnson Lodge (J Lo) room #5, Abbey Hanish and I were blessed with 10 fantastic 7th-9th grade girls. Every one of them became visibly closer to God in those 5 activity-packed days. I got closer to them than I have to any other campers, and closer to Abbey than I have to any other senior counselor. God was so good. It was super fun, really powerful, and God is now more glorified in more hearts. Blessed be the name of the Lord!
