Tonight I got to hang out with two of my Base Camp girls from Lodi, CA. I chatted with them and looked at pictures and videos with them. I was a great way to spend my last night here. I love being able to spend time with our Base Camp kids outside of Base Camp. I thank God for the opportunities that He has given me this year. The girls like to call this our Oreo picture. :) I will miss these girls.

Please pray for us as we head to Beaumont, CA Friday morning. It will be a quick trip down there. Only there for 6 days. I pray that we connect quickly with the kids. This will only be a 4-day THIRST Conference so 4 days will go by super fast.

Lodi, CA....The Home Church

Tonight we just finished an 8-day SUMMIT. We had a great group of kids and I think I may have found some new prayer supporters. I'm so blessed to minister to kids who in turn pray for me.

Here's a few pictures from the week.

Ladies Luncheon Day....we help with nursery...we had 19 kids from newborn to 3 years old. Crazy but all was fed!

Anna loves babies and also was watching the kids during Ladies Luncheon.

Mountain Man Jack and Murrill getting ready to set up a tent for our Base Camp skit.

Crazy Head Night in Base Camp

Brennan and Josh during out skit on Saturday....Max and Stevie

Enjoying Oranges in more ways than one :) So much fun!!!!

Jonathan with a Go Bananas shirt....He wore it just for us.

Twins that I had lots of fun telling them apart. Amazingly I got it right every time. (One has a dimple when she smiles and one is taller than the other.) Two shy but sweet girls! I will miss them. Twins are an amazing thing and I can only imagine what it was like for the first mom that had twins....talk about a shocker.

 

 

Austin, Brooke, and Cylie....that's C-Y-L-I-E! Austin was in Base Camp this week and his sisters were in Happy Heart City. I met them while they were signing in Austin. They brought a smile to my face every time I saw them. More and more kids that I will miss!

Of course I had to get a picture with them!

Another pic from Base Camp....yup that's my hair for crazy head night and the kid with the paper in his hair....yup that's his homework. I love the creativity that the kids have!

We get a few days off before we head to Beaumont, CA for a 4-day THIRST Conference. For the home stretch we will travel for two days to get to Colorado Springs for our last 8-day SUMMIT and on to Fort Worth, TX for our final 4-day THIRST Conference of this travel year. This year surely has flown by. But I've love it. I definitely have come a long way this year....and love it that God expresses His love for me in soooooo many ways. He truly is the Lover of my soul....I wish I could come close to loving Him like He loves me.

Please pray for me as I finish out the rest of this year and try to figure out my summer. I will have a break from the end of May until the beginning of July. In July I will be helping at our ministry's camp and than it's off to train with the new team for the 2012-2013 travel year. I'm amazing at the fact that I will be starting year 5! Wow.
