Summer Vacation

I started my summer off by going on a mission trip to Rosebud, South Dakota. Every summer my church takes our youth out there, and this year was by far the best. Not only did I make new friendships with Brandon Valley's youth, I also strengthened my relationships the the residence of Rosebud. Everyday I had a new job, from painting to shingling to cutting fire wood, and even getting lost and stranded with no cell phone to call for help. You could say that was quite the experience. I also was a camp counselor at Minneboji Bible Camp for a week in Okoboji, Iowa. I had 25 energetic, little girls in a cabin, who always had to be reminded to shower, drink lots of water, and to not spend all their money on sugar! Also this summer, Ben, Logan O, Jayden, Landon, Phillip, Austin, Hanna, Demi, and I went on a camping trip in Watertown. It was a great weekend for us to get together and bond before senior year! We did a lot of swimming, playing football and Frisbee, and cooking over the fire. I had an amazing weekend with them all, even though we woke up to a cold, windy thunderstorm and leaking tent!
