I am less than one month away from embarking on an amazing adventure that God is sending me on. On April 29 and 30th, I traveled to Plymouth, Minnesota, for training for A Christian Ministry in the National Park which is the volunteer organization that I am working with this summer. It got me even more excited than I already was and also helped to remind me why I am doing this. I love doing service work, love traveling, and love God. Working in a national park for the summer combines all three of those things.
After the training conference, I headed to Holmen, Wisconsin, for a night to spend the night with a friend before starting my May Term adventure at Sugar Creek Bible Camp. I spent a week with 8 of my colleagues, one campus pastor, and two retreat hosts, doing challenge course activities, hiking, canoeing, and spending time with God learning about camping ministry and youth/family ministry. We learned about D.R.A.G Bi.G. which is now a group joke, and had fun making up stories about bears, wombats and doors (deer). The week was quite exhausting in every sense, but also was a way to connect with God and remind myself why I am going to the park this summer. Upon arriving back at school, I was thrown back into work and realized that I am pretty much alone at school for May Term. One of my friends is traveling around Europe, two are in England, two are in New York City, and a couple are doing various internships. The couple people who are here though have decided we are going to have a kick butt may term filled with laughter, good weather, and good times.
I think that is all for now. I am at work and should probably get back to actually working..
Look back soon for pictures from Sugar Creek Bible Camp.
