The Father's Love

Here we are in week 2, day 3!
This week we have some familiar campers here at Malibu, students from Snohomish, Lake Stevens, Glacier Peak, Olympia, Puyallup, and the Wenatchee Valley (YIP, YIP).
It has been fun to see kids from our church and our friends kids here enjoying Malibu!  Please pray for these kids!  They have a lot going on in their lives.  They bring many hurts with them and after the first few days, they feel comfortable enough to share them with us and their leaders.

One amazing thing that happened on the last day of last camp was that our very own Lizzy Aagard, work crew girl from my JHS campaigner group, had the honor of sharing her testimony during the work crew presentation for the whole camp.  Campers and all were blessed to hear Lizzy talk about how there was NOTHING she could do to cause God to love her any less.  And NOTHING could keep her from the love of her heavenly Father.  She so freely and comfortably shared with the hundreds of people in the club room.  Jeff and I rejoiced with her and praised GOD for all he has done and brought her through.  What an honor to lead young ladies like Lizzy!

I am feeling a little disconnected from the spiritual things happening in the lives of campers because I spend so much time with the kids and Jeff is busy working on the details of the program. This is weird for us, but hopefully, we will feel a little more connected as we get the details worked out.
This is the entire work crew during the work crew presentation on the last night of camp.  Lizzy is in the very middle.

Janna puts make-up on Jeff for his club character, Kenny Winnerhart (find him on facebook).

Our kids are doing better and so I am.  Dietrich is more thankful, and acting like himself singing, and having a great time.  Thank you all for your prayers!
