Camp's done...packing's started

We have officially completed our jobs at camp this summer. We both left camp with a real feeling that we've done good jobs and had a lot of fun. Jason discovered new skills in the area of administrative and office work. He was incredibly creative and organized this summer. I discovered that I can in fact work with youth. I have an amazing group of 16 CITs to work with. They were motivated to learn, to grow and to get to know eachother and their campers. Basically, they made my job easy. I will miss them as we all move on to other areas. It's an odd job in the way that you work incredibly hard to get to know each other and to mentor them, then after 8 weeks of intense community life, you simply disappear from each others lives. Camp is headed in a great direction, we look forward to hearing how next summer goes.

We've got 2 weeks now of packing and goodbyes. Unfortunetly I severely sprained my ankle the second last day of camp, so I'm moving slightly slower then I had hoped to this week. This weekend is my parents 25th anniversary and our commissing from our church here in Calgary. We're spending a week in Saskatchewan with Jason's family and the rest here in Calgary. We'll be flying out at 12:30 AM on August 31 from Calgary. Continue to keep us in your prayers and we make the transition.
