During the week that Resound was with us I had two people that I know past away. One was my cousin's grandpa (not related to me) and the other was my best friends grandma. I was only able to make it to one funeral and it was the happiest funeral that I have ever been to. It was a celebration of Grammies' life and how she is now home. It was really awesome. But still keep both of those families in your prayers for the next few weeks. We all know it is tough to loss a loved one.
This last week we had a MEGGA HUGE BIG (insert other word for large here) from Roswell and Tuson. The tuson group was led by Pastor Scotty and the Roswell group by Pastor Branden, they are a Father son combo team of awesomeness for God. Their kids were extremely different at the beginning of the week but they all grew/got to know each other and by the end of the week you couldn't tell the difference between the two groups. God worked in these kids and you could see it by the attentiveness they had in the teaching times. Even if they ran too well over 2.5 hours.
Both groups had several first time dedications to God as well as some re-dedications. It never gets old of seeing new brothers and sisters joining the family! Pray for these kids that they will continue to walk with God in every aspect of their lifes and that they dont fall back into the old ways before camp started.
This week was the end of the summer for my dear friend and sister (well I claim her as that anyway) Taylor (left). She had to go back to school for her RA job at school. We will miss her. She has done an amazing job this summer despite how hard it was for her. God worked in her life in crazy ways. One being public speaking. She HATES it but she had to do it a few times this summer and God now has her giving a message to the Resound group tonight in ABQ! How awesome is that! After getting to spend a week with those kids and then getting the opportunity to go back and teach them something new! Any way, pray for her tonight because thats when she is talking to the kids and pray for a safe 20 hour drive back to school for her next week.As for Jesse (middle) and I, we still have a little ways to go. Next week is a work week for a few days then we are off then two weeks from now we have our last camp. It is a small group and I have class on one day durring that week so I will have to drive down for an afternoon to Las Cruces to go to class and then head back and finish out camp. As of right now I couldn't have withed for a better summer. God has shown me some awesome stuff and possibly provide me with a job or two after I graduate in May, awesome! He has also shown me a lot of other things that I knew I had in me but just didn't know how to tap into just yet. And I am sure that He has taught me so many more things that I just haven't realized yet and wont till I have some time to process everything that has happend this summer.
Pray Stuff
1. for the kids that have made decisions this summer
that they continue to walk the good walk no matter what they come up against
2. for the staff, both here and gone
that we will find rest in God and God alone, and maybe in that awesome stuff God made called sleep
3. for the last week of camp
That the kids will be open to everything God has in store for them as they come
that is the week that ACA is coming to inspect camp and renew our accreditation (loads of paperwork to be done)
Thank you again and again for everything yall have been doing for me and the rest of the staff. We honestly couldn't have done it with out all of the support we get from people just like you. You are fueling the work of God by helping us and for that I thank you.
