June 10 Today we started camp, and I must say, I’m quite excited! I’ve never been to camp before, even as child and this time I’m starting off as a camp counsellor and it’s amazing to have a group of about 10 kids under me this week. I’ll be leading them in two bible studies…
Mission Trip Diary – June 8th
Costa Rica has just been an amazing experience, like words cannot describe everything in my heart or the memories I’ll carry from this place throughout the rest of my life.

Mission Trip Diary – June 7th
