So here we go...a short final post from HUME/SD 2011

We are off to the beach where at least one student (Alex Berthusen) will be getting baptized...next to leading a person in their prayer as the receive Christ, is the blessing of being able to baptise someone...can't wait!

Had a neat time with Brian Kitson, my former campus life director from high school, being a last minute guy counselor for us this week. What an awesome thing to share with a guy who played a HUGE role in my comittment and walk with Christ...so thankful for Brian. He came by my room last night and had some neat words of encouragement and affirmation, from the unique perspective of knowing me for so long. I love that guy :)

Another special way I was blessed yesterday, as the camp called all of the youth pastors to the stage to let their churches know where we'd be doing our "Church Time", which they reserve for the teaching time on Thursday morning. The youth pastor standing next to me?? One of my former youth, who is now a youth pastor himself. Pretty cool. I'd seen him a number of times at camp, and we'd talked and hung out already, but still just a neat moment to stand side-by-side with him in front of youth together.

There truly are many, many thoughts that I want to write out...so if I'm awake, I'll write one more P.S. on Saturday...if I don't end up writing, then know this...this has been one of the best weeks of camp I've ever been involved with.

Pray for safety as we head home! Hope to be there by 5:00-6:00pm

GOD RULZ!
