| We are smack in the middle of summer camps right now here at Victory! We had a great orientation week with the summer staff, and we are now preparing to begin our third week of camp! The weather has been amazingly warm with almost every day in the past week or two hitting 80 degrees. While this is great for swimming in the lake, it's not so good for forest fire hazards. But the kids and I have sure been soaking up the sun. :) |

| Coming out the front doors at Miracle Lodge. What a beautiful day! |
 |
| The poster for our theme this summer. I've gotten to write skits again this summer to be performed at Frontier Chapel and it's a great theme to write about! Our theme verse is Romans 12:2. |
 |
| Everyone getting into the music at chapel. Grady likes to sing a line from one of the songs over and over again. This week is our largest yet as far as camper numbers, so chapel will be exciting! |
 |
| Last Friday we got to take in the horse show and watch my sister Jessie in her class routine! Yeah for Ranch Camp...it's always had my heart! |
 |
| The kids with our friend Kelly, taking in the show...also playing in the sand and climbing on the corral...:) |
 |
| Saying goodbye to campers after a great week. I get the privilege of leading a prayer group of summer staff girls and it's always wonderful to hear the stories that have happened in each cabin through the week, and also tough to hear that some of the kids are going home to regular life and it's going to be hard for them. Good thing we serve a mighty God who hears our prayers. |

| We journeyed into Hatcher Pass with the summer staff yesterday and went on a family hike. I guess it was our way of celebrating Father's Day with family time since we won't see much of Justin today. He drives the bus to pick up campers and it makes for a long day! |

| If you look closely you will see the stream winding its way down the mountainside hundreds of feet below! Some ways you can be praying right now: -A praise, first of all! I am feeling much better these days. I still have a ways to go to 100% health but I am praising God for his healing and faithfulness! -Pray for two of our summer staff, one who has had to go home with a broken foot but would like to be able to return before the end of the summer (and whose help we could really use!) and one potential staff member who is from out of the country and is waiting on a visa to be able to come to camp. Pray it will go through quickly! -Pray for safety at camp, as always, with work teams, at the waterfront, on hikes, etc. -Pray for the summer staff to keep a good focus and a heavenly perspective. We have a great group of young people this year but the enemy doesn't want to see camper's lives changed and will use distractions and frustrations to knock us off track. Thank you for your prayers! They are so valuable! We hope you're enjoying your summer! |
