Camp BlueSky!!

So friends...I am FINALLY here!! Kenya is beautiful! Its really cool to have giraffes, zebras, and such basically in my backyard! So, im going to try to give a quick run down...but just to warn you, its going to be super random!
This entire week has been staff training for camp. We get our first group of campers Sunday! I am a Meru counselor, which means I will have a cabin of 12-14 year old girls. I'm really excited about it! We get to go rock climbing and do high ropes. woohoo!
the facility here is nice! all of the people are really nice and helpful! however, kenyans have a slightly different idea of what "on time" means. haha. the internet is SUPER slow...we have like 2 computers to share between about 20 people. the food is actually pretty good...we camped out last night even though it rained for a bit...which it has rained every day since we got here! which is good, because they really need the rain here.
i know this isn't very much information, but i have to go for now! i love you all, miss you lots and hope you are all doing SO well!! OH! email me!! they will print it out and give it to me...info@campbluesky.org ...just put my name in the subject line!

LOVE:)

Up, up...

and away.

So friends...it's about that time! Tomorrow, I will be meeting with my fellow staff members in Atlanta, and we will be flying to Kenya on Sunday! Please pray for our team as we travel and get settled into our new "home" for the next few months! I will post my address here as soon as I know it...you know how I love snail mail:) 

Love.

fifteen days...

and I will be on a plane to Kenya! After a week of training, I'll be working five weeks at Camp Blue Skies, run by Brackenhurst Ministries. Kids ages 7-18 will be coming from all kinds of ethnicities and backgrounds and spending their days doing archery, crafts, games, and being love on by a camp staff that is eager to share the love of Christ with them. I'll also spend three weeks of the summer doing ministry in nearby villages--serving by whatever means possible.

I am SO excited about this summer. There has never been a better time for me to leave everything I've ever known and just go on faith. God is going to change me, grow me, and shape me this summer...more than I can even imagine at the moment. I'm ready to go...

So...please, please, please keep me in your prayers!

Katie:)
