Febuary 13-17, 2012 = HighSchool Camp for the lovely 9th -12th graders of the Santa Cruz Christian Learning Center. Oh what JOY! (That's where my brother, sister, and I graduated from highschool here in Bolivia.)

I was blessed to attend 3 highschool camps while here in Bolivia the first time and now I've managed to weasel my way into a forth. You may be wondering, "But how Whit? You don't work or volunteer at your old highschool. How did you even get an invite?"

I invited myself! I heard Miss Emily Barlow (shoutout to my highschool english teacher!) talking about it at Bible study and basically said, "Take me with you!".

"But WHY??? Isn't camp caracterized by montser bug stores told, and retold hundreds of times by those attacked and their loved ones?". To that I say; Indeed it is. But, camp is also caracterized by an entire highschool student body coming together in one, sometimes muddy, hot, and bug invested, BEAUTIFUL campsite to learn about the one true God.

How could I miss out on that?? I want to see what God does in their lives. I want to see God move among them and through them. I want to see them learn things that I learned when I went to camp. Not long ago I was in the same shoes as these "kids" and I want to serve them during this time.

(My senior year of highschool I helped out at Junior High Camp. These lovely ladies are now 10th and 11th graders! And yes, if you can believe it...that is me!)

Please pray for them! Pray that during this time they will be safe, have a good time but more than anythng that they will GROW. Pray that they will grow in their understanding of who God is and how much he loves them.
(ps. You can pray for me too, I like to grow and I certainly don't want to have to relate any such bug tales when I get back!) Have a great week!
