Spiritlife 2012


On July 20 I finished work at Calvin Crest Camp and Conference Center, where I worked for about eight weeks this summer. These are the amazing people who were on staff with me. Although it was hot, I had a wonderful time. I started going to camp at Calvin Crest after first grade, and have gone almost every summer since. It’s always been a place of great faith growth for me. The highlight of my summer was the last week, when I had the opportunity to go mountain biking on the trails surrounding Calvin Crest. It was a small group, just five campers, but they all did an awesome job, especially the girls. The two girls grew a lot during the week, both in skill and in faith. Since I was so busy this summer, and focused on camp, I didn't have much time to think about my upcoming travel. I don't exactly feel prepared at this point, but I don’t think I’ll ever be fully prepared for where this path is about to lead me.

The Start of a Journey

I've recently been selected to be a YAV (Young Adult Volunteer) for the Presbyterian church to Africa for 2012-2013. I don't know much about my placement now, other than I should either be in Kenya or Tanzania. I'm hoping to teach at a school and work along with a church. I will be posting on this blog throughout the next year and a half as I take my journey.
