Camp (summing up)

Today was the last day of camp I said good bye to many a new friend that I made this made this week. I learned a lot from camp and was able to do more than I had hoped. I went in not knowing quite what my job would be or how much I would be able to do. I ended up being the co-videographer this means I got to film,edit,and anything else we might have needed as far as multimedia goes. One of my jobs in particular was making a movie that would be showed to the youth right after the gospel was explained. It was not easy, I had to mix the kids having fun and being... well kids with the Jesus film. What would seem like opposites ended up working out together to be a short video that showed Jesus on a relateable level. I know that God's hand was in the making of it because I can never get the sentimental stuff to work out well. But this did, I saw kids hugging and crying together and grown men falling on their knees. It was truly amazing to see God work through our team in such a meaningful way.
I absolutely loved camp and think that it was a amazing growing experience where I was able to help out in a way needed but also learn a lot myself.
I think there is going to be a sort of party when I get back. You are all invited and if you come you will be able to see some of the work I've been doing. Right now I am getting ready once more for a much needed sleep, I was up till 4:00 last night finishing some video stuff for the DVD we gave to each camper. I only have 4 days left and as much as I can't wait to get home and see you all I know I'll miss Spain and everyone here. God has been so good to me and this trip has been amazing.
Thank you all for keeping up with this I can't wait to tell you all sorts of stories soon as I get back.

Wow. God is so good. I can't wait to hear all of your stories when you get back. I talked to Bill about the offering for India and he said that they would do it, but they haven't yet. I'll keep working on it.
