O how the time has flown by already

Wow this week has flown by. I have been in Africa for 2 weeks now and it only seems like a couple of days.. I was the counselor for the oldest guys group this week and most of our activities put us outside of camp. It has been so much fun getting to know all of my guys and it was sad to see them leave this morning. We get a new group of guys tomorrow and I just found out that I am the counselor of the youngest group of guys.. A little change never hurt anyone ha I am super pumped to turn everything into a game and act all goofy with them. We have brought a lot of American candy over here and they go crazy for it. After a good week without the sweets it is quite sad how us counselors have to sneak a couple of pieces in as well..I have many stories to tell but so little time to write. I will try and let the pictures tell a lot of the fun we are having.. We leave for Uganda next week and I am excited to get experience the rural Africa. Word through the grapevine is that we are going to get to play a Uganda High School guys soccer team. Africans vs. Muzungus (Swahili for White Person). I am excited to see how the Lord can really bring glory to his name through something like soccer. I will update when I can, but I miss everyone back home and hope all is going well. Thank you for the prayers. God Bless

This was my life this week.. We spent every minute of every day with this group and the bonds we made were so strong. That is the Tana river behind us, and as dirty as it looks surprisingly it was really clean and refreshing.

On our way to go rock climbing we ran into some pretty sweet little Giants. You see them in zoos and it is really cool but to see them in the wild really throws a whole new perspective on things..super rad.





The Kili men right before summit fires.. Sporting our blue and yellow "nothing but hitz" gang signs ha

The 7-47 as we call it.. The Guys seemed all tough on the ground but when it came to jumping off the pole some of them changed their minds

Camps Got Talent.. Took the Mario theme and made a pretty funny skit out of it.. Costumes just make life a lot more fun

Paintballing in Africa? Two words you normally do not put together. It was a lot of fun, especially with our sweet jump suits we got to throw on

So I introduced the "feeling the vibe" move to camp and in the end got made fun of a little bit.. It was pretty entertaining to say the least



Got a treat this afternoon as we ate lunch.. These tribal dancers could sure put on a pretty sweet show

Summit Fires.. This has been a camp tradition since the beginning.. real cool to see the rich tradition of Camp Blue Sky first hand. After the fun and games we closed the night with a great praise and worship time under the amazing African stars

LAST BUT NOT LEAST.. what everyone has been waiting for.. currently holding down first place in the dirtiest mustache competition.. ha every Tuesday we have a huge fiesta at camp and all of the guys are trying to grown the "sickest" looking mustache possible.. 5 days and counting
