Quick Update


Just thought I would give you all a quick update as camp is coming closer (just over a month now) and I also realized that dates have changed as well.

We have a place rented, the buses are booked, we have all the speakers and other then a couple male staff, we are all ready to go.  However there may be one little kink.  The teachers here were on strike for two weeks and have just gone back to work, because of this there is talk of talking away the kids vacation in June and July, which just happens to be camp time.  They are talking of a couple way of making up for lost time, and this is just one of the ideas and nothing is certain yet so please be praying that this wouldn’t happen.  I think the most miraculous part of this whole ordeal is that I am not freaking out.  This comes as quiet a shock to me and I know that if this happened last year, I would have had a minor heart attack.  But I am completely calm and trust in my Father completely that He wants these kids to go to camp and everything is going to turn out just fine (but please keep praying). 

We also still need a truck for camp, by June 15th to be exact.  We are about $3500 away from the goal.  But again I trust that my Father will provide, although if I am being honest I still have freak outs when I think of the money we still need, but I will be still and know He is God.

Anyways I will keep this short and sweet.  In June and July we are hoping to send 125 kids to camp and then another 25 in August.  It costs about $100 to send a kid to camp and if you would like to sponsor one please go to this website https://msccanada.org/give-now.html and under projects and funds click on Camp Gozo, it’s as easy as that.  (If you are from Capilano, I think they are doing something as well).  So once again I am so grateful and overwhelmed by all your support and encouragement and stunned by all the people who are behind this project, and just so you know, each and every one of you are welcome to come to anyone of the camps whenever you can.
Here are the camps and the dates for this year
June 16-17th Boys 8-10
June 18-19th Girls 8-10
June 22-25th Girls 11-13
June 30-July 2nd Boys 11-13
July 3-5th Boys 14-18
October 6-9th Girls 14-18
Blessings

Keepin it real in Quito

Yo Yo Yo So I have arrived and I made it safe, other then my luggages coming the next day. I was delayed in Edmonton and Toronto so when I got to Colombia they rushed me and a few other passengers to the flight for Quito. I am staying with a family, in my house there is Mami, who is the grandma, Mampi, her daughter and Joanna the niece, she is about 17 years old. There is also another student from London named Bhavin and a Japenese girl just came yesterday...she is super cool. So if I am to be honest the first week was quiet hard. Language school was quiet overwhelming and I hadnt met anyone yet so I was feeling quiet lonely and missing all of you guys. I let the tears slip a couple times but that is just part if the experience. My teacher tells me that the first week is always the hardest and that in a month I will be speaking Spanish....that brings me some comfort. On a happier note I have been hanging around Quito and that has been cool. Climed up to the top of the Basillica...

Fruit

*(names have been changes for privacy reasons)* Back into the swing of things again and I am super pumped for this year.   Remember the time that I was sharing how I felt that there was no visible fruit last year and how that was really discouraging to me, well a couple weeks ago God blessed me with being able to see some of His fruit from last year, some fruit after a year of tears and prayers.   As some of you also know that for birthdays I take the teen girls out for ice cream.   This is a good one on one time and just a time for them to get out and do something special.   First up every year is Maria.   Last year when I took her for ice cream, conversation was a little strained, a lot of her answers to my questions were just one word and lets be honest, there were a lot of awkward moments.   As this year rolled around first up again was my beloved Maria and we had an awesome time.   We laughed, we talked and she was really honest with my...

Boys Camp… Just a little late

Image
When it’s been so long between blogs I always struggle with what to say, or what to share.   Sometimes it feels like so much has happened that I don’t even know where to start and sometime if feels like nothing has happened at all… I guess I will start with the boys camp that we had in November, which was forever ago I know, but I obviously procrastinated and haven’t shared how it went and when I was in Canada over Christmas a lot of you asked me about it. Well it was an adventure.   We only had about 12 boys, which  was a nice small group.   I was really tired and worn out by the time November rolled around, so it was perfect and a more relaxed camp, well for the most part…. I went ahead with three other staff, well that was the plan anyways, but the car we were in kept over heating and we kept having to pull over and wait on the side of the road for it to cool down.   So we got there a few hours after everyone else arrived.   I was ...
