It's been a while...

Hey everyone! It's been a busy month of October. Crazy to think that the month is almost over. Things are getting ready to change here with the interns at SharpTop Cove. Next Monday will mark the beginning of our second rotation of the internship. I will be moving to Sites (Maintenance) with Patrick. Not my dream job, but we're going to make it fun for sure. Watch out Bob Villa and Norm Abrams; your replacements have arrived. Here comes This Old Camp!

One thing I have really appreciated about October has been weekends of Young Life camping. Church and school groups are always great and welcome when they come. But, there is just something special about Young Life areas bringing the furthest out kids to hear about Jesus Christ. Without a doubt, this camp was made with them in mind.

Our intern group is continuing to study the book Celebration of Discipline by Richard Foster. The past couple of weeks we have read through submission and service. Each day as I live in this community I am learning how to better give all of my life to Christ and serve others each day. It can be challenging, but the fruits that come from sharing in this community are definitely worth it.

One final cool thing to share with you all is that we recently found out that our February mission trip has changed locations. Instead of going to the Dominican Republic, we will be heading to Nicaragua. Either place would be amazing. I have never been a part of an international mission trip before, so I am excited to grow both individually and as a group of interns during this experience. Please keep this trip in your prayers as we prepare over the next few months.

Some other things you can pray for include:
  • Good transition between jobs over the next week as we learn our new roles.
  • More and more kids to meet Jesus Christ as leaders bring kids to Fall Camps on weekends.
  • Fundraising for our intern class. We still need to raise more money so all of our interns will be able to travel to Nicaragua for our mission trip.
  • Travel arrangements coming up as we think of heading to see family and friends during the holidays.

Thanks for your continued prayers and support!

Blessings!
