I dont think we realize how GREAT our God is...

Well I have been in Kenya for about a month now. The second week of camp was amazing! I was with girls ages 12-14. A little more work than a younger group of girls, but God is good. He moved mightily in the lives of these girls. The end of the week they received Jesus into their heart. What a humbling experience to know that you are being used by God. Wow! This past week the team and I went to Mosai land. It is like a desert. There is no electricity or running water. It is near mount Suswa. You literally have to go on a dirt road for 2 and a half hours. It was VERY BUMPY! and dusty haha! The Lord blessed us with wonderful weather. We also saw Zebras and giraffes on the way. We built a greenhouse while we were there and showed the people how to filter their water in order to have drinking water. We stayed in tents on the Bishiops land. He is known as the superintendent of the Asseblies of God in that area. It was awesome. Although the language was a barrier we worshipped the Lord and prayed over one another together. The spirit moved so mightilty. We also visited churches there and the school. The kids were beautiful. They were in awe of our non skin haha! The Lord has overwhelmed my heart with his love. I feel so priveledged to be used by my savior. This weekend we have been staying in Nairobi. Tomorrow the team leaves to Western Kenya for a week then to Uganda for a couple of days to raft the Nile! Pretty excited! Please keep praying for me. Your prayers have envouraged me and have been felt! Thank you for your support through out my trip!! Miss you all!

Camp Session 1!!

Well I have already been here about a week and a half and God has been rocking my world. Last week was staff training and it was great getting to know the people that I will be serving with this summer. Its great to see how God has been orchestrating this summer and this team before we even knew we would be in Nairobi. We have been to town once and it was great! There are alot of missionaries here, which I have never been surrounded by so many in my life. It has been a blessing to see their heart to serve Jesus, no matter where. As a team we went rock climbing, not as easy as I thouhgt but I did it. I also jumped off a 44 ft swing, built by Winshape. It was pretty sweet. The night sky here is beautiful, the stars, sunrises, and sunsets, God definately knew what He was doing. He is so good!
This week I am a counselor of 5th and 6th grade girls this week and they have been a blessing and have taught me so much already. Its amazing How God can use children to minister to adults just as much as adults to children. WOW God is good! Its definately been on the go since I got here but God is good give the strength I need each day to have the energy to love on the kids. Our theme for this summer's camp is overcome. John 16:33. Please read it and be encouraged. Its amazing. Well my friends I am trying to give as much info as I can, and as time permits. Until next time....
Please keep me in your prayers!
