Texas:


My beautiful and gifted intern for the week, Megan

Opening day before students arrived

An interesting building around where the students went witnessing in Shreveport, Louisiana

LeTourneau University where camp was held

Our leadership staff made us goodie bags after the week was done and this was what was on my bag


All ladies van ride after the Texas camp finished up


Our camp in Texas had 193 kids that God allowed us to love on for a week. My small group consisted of 12 girls who loved the Lord and desired to grow in their faith. It was certainly a busy week but also a beautiful week. :) Here are some blessings from the week.

  • Happy hike in Arkansas before traveling to Texas
  • Sharing testimonies with fellow staffers
  • Bacon at breakfast
  • My awesome intern Megan
  • Texas Rain downpours
  • My skin actually tanning.....well more like majorly freckling ;)
  • Practicing flexibility as we had to rearrange the schedule because of a downpour and then a power outage
  • Deep, deep sleep for 6 1/2 hours
  • My girls' sweet smiles
  • Pretty colored pens for taking notes
  • Texas crazy humidity
  • Not getting any tick bites during the week
  • Dealing with a 1/2 day long power outage and no AC in the lecture hall
  • Gluten free pb&j's
  • Receiving a care package from home 
  • Lighting the lecture hall with little lanterns during the power outage
  • Waking up to God's glorious sunshine streaming through the window
  • Programs between lectures going well 
  • Sweet 1 on 1 times with some of my girls
  • Putting together a spa night where my 17 year old girls got to bless the 12-14 year old girls group and get to know them.
  • The fun energy that happens when 193 students compete for color team points
  • Safe and productive evangelism in Louisiana
  • Getting to play nurse again this week. I got to examine a student's stitches and bandage/clean a puncture wound. :)
  • Encouraging text from my daddy
  • Clouds that look like cotton balls and a cool breeze during the frisbee game
  • Guacamole
  • Sad but sweet send off of 4 of our staff team
  • Free "Happy Camper" shirts from LeTourneau University
  • God sustaining me after less than 5 hours of sleep before closing day

 I loved Texas and am grateful to the Lord for allowing me to have such a refreshing, growing, and encouraging week there. :)
