Alas...the end of Day 3...half way done with camp...a very fun day, packed with lots of different things...with the best ending for some of our students!

Morning chapel was a Mission's focus, hearing from a couple of men who are doing amazing ministries around the world...a great small group time followed with our guys and girls (in different groups) really opening up...

Rec was crazy, as we started the two days of the "BIG 5" rec games...my team, the only green one remember, went from 20 (dead last) all the way up to 7th...we're still considerably behind the leaders, but it was fun to make a jump in the standings...

After rec, and lunch...most of the group headed for the beach. Well actually, shopping...hung out in the stores for a couple of hours...

then dinner and then chapel...tuesday night is typically "decision" night (for non-Christians) and tonight was great...the band was spirit filled as usual and we had an excellent time of praise and worship...then PJ (the speaker) came and gave the message..main point talked about taking up our cross, losing our life to Christ so that we can find it...

We had 3 girls re-dedicate their walks to Christ...Britnii Spino, Kaylie Pitzer, and Alex Lam...and one surrender her life completely to Christ for the very first time...Kourtanie Anderson! WOO HOO!!!!!!!! Heaven is different tonight! Eternity has changed! There is a new soul in Eternity with Christ! YES! This is why we do this...the Angels are having a party!!!

Once we were done celebrating (and how can you ever REALLY be done with that?!)...we had about an hour of free time...being that I am the Egyptian Rat Slap Champion of Horizons, I was challenged to yet another game, which I of course.....DOMINATED!

It is a week going very well...many different combinations of students going to different places and just hanging out, God is truly moving the group to a huge spirit of unity...you're prayers that it would continue would be awesome...

as for me, on a personal note, I'm feeling the weight of back-to-back weeks as I'm writing this blog. I'm tired, I'm sore, and I miss my family. But I don't regret any of it...it is when I am at my weakest, that Jesus can be made strong! You're prayers for continued energy and health are appreciated and coveted...

Rusty is doing well, though feeling the effects as well. Please pray for my young red-headed friend and intern :) He's doing amazing, and has made the transition from JH to SH week very well...I'm proud of him :)

Well, some of my guys are waiting for me so they can recite their memory verses (they get spirit points) to me...talk to you tomorrow! TN
