and she's back, folks!
Just when you were wondering whether i had abandoned you or if some space aliens had taken me away, here I am!!! jk, anyway, I was at camp this past week, and it was AWESOME!! i love going there! i feel so close to Jesus when i'm there! Then, when I come home I'm fired up for Christ,a nd it's awesome! Trout Lake is a truly great place. We had an awesome chapel speaker this week, and great TAG time books! (TAG stands for Time Alone with God, pretty cool, huh?) Chapel is so fun! We sing good songs, and it's wild and really hot!! (especially this past week in 100 degree temps!) Everybody jumps around and shouts. The funny thing at camp is that when we are happy about something we just yell at the top of our lungs! I have a hoarse voice now!We went to this ice cream place by boat and got ice cream there. It's called Crafts and Cones and it's in Crosslake. They have this ice cream cone that is called a "doozie" and it has three enormous scoops of ice cream on it. And guess what~ I ATE THE WHOLE THING!!!! If you go there you will see my picture along with many others up on the wall!! i felt so sick that I couldn't do anything though. $5 for that thing and what do i get? a stomachache. Well, i can also impress people by saying that I ate the whole thing! my friend got one too, but it melted so she had to throw it into the water. She named hers Troy. Following suit, mine was named Tina. They are in heaven now, together. lol rofl anyway, some fish had a nice lunch! We did a lot of fun things including:
- zipline-you azre harnessed in, and it's kind of like a glider? REALLY FUN!!! (and free too! lol)
- leap of faith aka pamper pole-I have no idea why they called it pamper pole, i like leap of faith better! Again, you are harnessed in, and you are totally safe, so don't think i'm such a daredevil. You climb a really tall pole that just looks like a tall, straight tree trunk without any branches, and a little thinner. You climb up using the footholds, and then at the top (you have nothing to hold onto) you stand on top of it! It is smaller than my two feet! Then you jump to a trapeze that is about four feet away and try to grab it! i did it the first time, and kind of just hung there for a sec. Then i said, "what do i do now?" it was a kodak moment. my friend got scared at the top, so she just came down, but I can understand why. It wa fun, but still scary! They have a verse towards the top of the pole that says, "i can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." and believe it or not, i can't remember where that is in the Bible!!!! i know, a total blank! if you know, please tell me, and put me out of my misery! yeah, anyway, it was a blast.
it was totally fun! yup, so now you kind of know what I did! ttyl!
see ya,
