With the end of all staff training comes some relief and excitement for what is to come. I do have to say that Double H training is the most innovative and funniest training that I have been through. Even something as simple as handing out the new staff t-shirt becomes a show and activity which gets everyone all excited. The shirts are lime green by the way!

 Camp begins on Thursday and I know I'm ready for some kids to be here. I am in the Bear Cabin which is the oldest girls; usually 15 or 16 years old. The kids come for a 6 day session, and each session different kids come.

Right now we're putting our feet up during a two day break, although we did put our feet to work this morning in a 7 mile hike. Josh and I joined a group of our fellow staff who set out to hike the trail called 'sleeping beauty' which leads up a scenic mountain. It was a great way to spend the morning which left me feeling nature-y, healthy and tired! 

Josh and I are of course already thinking ahead to this fall and where we might go next. But we don't want to look ahead so much that we're missing  out on where we are now. There is great value and responsibility to pray into what God has entrusted to us this moment, and to exemplify the nature of Jesus to the people around us right now. It's easy to say 'oh when this happens or later, I'll do all those right things." But integrity says that we are the same person no mattter where we are, who we're with and what we're doing. So whether we are on the foreign mission field or in Lake Luzerne, New York, we are the hands and feet of Jesus with no compromises.
