On July 4th, it was our last day of day camp. We had 9 children attend on the beach. After Abby finished telling the story of the Passover and Resurrection, we broke into small groups and prayed. Janeen, a girl from the reservation asked to pray with me. We talked and asked questions. I asked her how she could thank Jesus for paying the ultimate price. Janeen replied with, “By telling Him I’m a sinner. I asked her if she has done this and she said yes, so I asked when. Janeen said, “Right now, Tractor, will you pray with me?” We prayed together and I added another sister to the family of God. I t was very exciting to see her run to the leaders and tell them about her new faith and saying she’ll see all of them in heaven!
God is teaching me to be still. I fill my life with so much noises and distractions to avoid what really needs to be done. God is also teaching me that he needs to be in control of everything. The song, “Surrender”, has really stood out to me. It’s hard to give God all my dreams, but if I don’t, it’s wasted time.
I am missing home a lot, I miss my bed, my family, my friends, and alone time. I miss you all. Ryan and Tyson don’t mess up on my bedroom. J hnnnmm.
Love
Sara
P.S. It was very exciting because we had pancakes for breakfast today and I found out other people eat pancakes with peanut butter and syrup. Jesse is my new BFF! (twitch)
