Keeping with Carnival...

Greetings!
I wanted to let you all know about an exciting Eagle Lake event that you are all invited to! Eagle Lake is hosting a carnival day in Colorado Springs on April 30th at Glen Eyrie. The day is free and will include carnival games, inflatables, face painting, arts and crafts, guided hikes and more! There will also be free popcorn, cotton candy and snow cones! If you will be in the Springs that day or know a family who might be interested in coming you can get more information here.




We are also looking for people to come down and help run the carnival that day.  We could really use as many people as we can get so if anyone is at all interested in volunteering that day please click here.
(you'll get a free t-shirt, lunch, and good old fun time!)


Please be praying that this event goes well and that we have a good turn out! I will update you afterward about how it went and hopefully have some pictures!

Keeping with Spring Break...

Hello friends! Sorry it has been so long since I've updated you! The last couple months have been mostly consumed with substitute teaching and working on ministry partner development (aka “support raising”), but I wanted to share a bit!

Although I haven't been able to do much at camp these last couple months, I did get to go up to Eagle Lake two weeks ago! A small group of students from CSU and myself (seven of us all together) spent 5 days of spring break serving up at camp. Another group of college students from the University of Arizona came to camp to help get it ready for this summer and we helped take care of them while they were there!

Riding up to Eagle Lake in the van... always a fun experience!

I spent my time making meals for everyone serving around camp!  Don't forget the oven mitts!
































Making brownies.  An Eagle Lake must!
Trey and I enjoyed doing some dishes at the end of the day.

The week at ELC was very productive and camp is on its way to being ready for this summer!

A few things you can be praying for me right now...
  • I will be heading to Eagle Lake around the middle of May! Please pray that the Lord would prepare my heart along with the hearts of all those who will be at camp this summer (the counselors, leadership and campers!)
  • Please pray that I can get everything done in the next month that I need to for support raising. Along with this, please pray for the funds to come in so that I can continue to work with Eagle Lake after this summer.

Thanks for all your love!
