My Summer

K..well I don't know where to start. For starters, some people don't know but I quit my job in June and left my home for the summer. I was in Saskatoon for 2 weeks visiting and meeting people, and from there I went to Big River to help with camp for the whole summer. It's something I've always wanted to do, and I'm so glad it worked out that way. It was such a blessing to be in constant fellowship and being able to talk to another christian in person. Some don't know but I did leave my church in October in 06. It was hard choice but I felt it's like what I needed to do. But I won't get into that right now.
So the first week I was there things were going pretty good. Oh I was helping in the kitchen all summer, mostly chopping stuff and doing dishes. Anyway things were going pretty good. I mean for waking up at 6:45 every morning and being in the kitchen and on my feet most of the day until 7:30ish in the evening, yah it was fun. I actually had tons of fun in the kitchen. Anyway on about Tuesday or Wednesday my friend kaitlyn and I were out patroling one night and we were by the bush like near the driveway and Kaitlyn says to me "I see something in the b.." and we hear a growl behind us and book it back to the house. But not before I kick off my crocs(cause they were slowing me down when I was running) see Kaitlyn in front of me fall a couple of times, and me cruising right by her, and thinking I'm almost there, but no I fall twice and here comes Kaitlyn..well we make it to the house with not looking back, both pretty banged up and huffin and puffin trying to tell Anita whats going on and it seems like all we could get out was "bear....bush...growl..run" cause we were out of breath. Needless to say we were both pretty scared and barely slept that night,. The next day we look at out bruises and stuff. Kaitlyn scrapped her knee badly and I had a scrap on my leg and it's an awesome scar now and my one foot was swollen toes and all...haha..Anyway we're alive and it became the butt of jokes. Which made us laugh. And take NOTE.....if you ever meet up with a bear pray I'm not the one with you cause apparently I won't stop to help you...haha

Anyway the numbers at camp were awesome. The Lord would always provide just enough cousilors for the amount of kids we had. Sometimes thinking...hmm..is it going to be possible to have these kids if there aren't enough counsilors, well silly us..or me I should only speak for myself. I got to see and spend time with some of the people I'm very close to which was awesome. And I got to meet new friends who made my summer alot more worth it We had awesome speakers each week, well working in the kitchen...sometimes we wouldn't make it to chapel but the ones I did make it to I was so encouraged and blessed. I feel like this is a rushed blog just cause I don't want to bore with details about each week. I do have some news to share about the biggest change that happened to me, but I think I need to end this post at least. So maybe in a couple of days I'll do that, cause it's late and it's ablog that I'm very excited to share. But yes it was awesome from sharing to crying to laughing to running into the Lake after sweating in the kitchen to late night talks to singing to listening to being molded to being changed to seeing teens step up and take on leadership to seeing hearts won over for the Lord. One of the best summers ever! I miss camp, it feels like home. I will post pics later when my brain isn't dead and I can function better
