Tonight was the last night of the first week of camp here in Big River, Saskatchewan. Emma and I arrived here at 3:30 this morning and came to came at 7:30 for staff meeting and breakfast. Amanda, Katie, Kyle, Carolyn, and Callee have been here 10 days already. So really they have more of a story to tell about our first week of serving here…

Amanda!!
It is so nice to be back in Canada! Being able to see all the kids and leaders I have worked with in the past years. This is my 4th summer at BRBC and every year it is so different. This is almost the end on my first week at camp! This year I worked in the kitchen and I had a blast!!! It was nice to serve in a different area of the camp this summer. It is different not to be in a cabin this year but I know God has a plan for me. I know he has me in the kitchen planting seeds with other people.

Katie!!!
It felt so great to be in Canada again and seeing the people I haven’t seen for over a year. We were welcomed with new smiles as well and that was good too. This week I was a L.I.T. again for the second time and I could tell that God was teaching me something new everyday, every hour. I could feel that God was with me in trials and I thank Him. I had a lot of fun and new relationships were built. I hope next week it will be even better than the first! Yeah, I decided to be an LI.T. for the second week so that I can serve God by doing those dirty dishes everyone eats on ALL the time!

Callee!!!
It has been such an incredible experience being able to return to Canada this summer. Building new and old relationships and seeing bonds with campers and fellow leaders flourish has been an experience to remember! This past week we have been slightly overstaffed enabling personal relationships to be built with the campers. It has been so great to have more time to focus on getting to know the kids rather than just focusing on keeping track of them!
