Though I had no idea I would be attending Secondary camp when I left for New Zealand, I am SO GLAD I got to go. I got to know the teachers and students in such a deeper way and couldn't have asked for a better welcome into the Hebron community. I led volleyball, chaperoned swim time, went caving with ten amazing students, rock climbed for the first time ever, went to Hamilton gardens and museum, and got to tag team a devotional time with the always enthusiastic, positive, and encouraging Lane Smith. God was able to speak through him, and maybe a little through me, to encourage these students. Go to Lane's blog for some detailed descriptions!

I was also able to be "Paula" in the talent show judging panel and played the role of a hunter in our massive game of "animal survivor" which basically means I had to jump in some creeks, get scratched up by bushes, fall in potholes, and kill off some pesky students...finally! Only kidding...it was a fake gun. Needless to say, I came home with some bleeding scars and about a thousand bruises, but it was so worth it. If you're reading this year 9-13s, thanks so much for the awesome camp!

I still love hearing about your adventures my friend! I'm glad things are going so well and I am insanely jealous of you and Laner. :)
