Reliving My Youth :: Post #6
Phoenix First Church of the Nazarene
From New Mexico, we drove to Phoenix and stayed the night in a hotel downtown. The next day we set up at Phoenix First and met some great people who work at the church. Our broken window was fixed by George Williamson's brother, James who came to our rescue and I stayed with a really cool dude from AZ High School camp named Braxton. He had a Ferrite named Diablo. I got to play with a Ferrite for the first time ever. And he liked to run up my shorts.
Going up my shorts & living up to his name.

The most killer Media Shout Tech ever ;)
I hit my head on this sealing like three times!
Quaker Meadow Christian Camp :: Central Cal High School
This past week has been refreshing, entertaining, and eyeopening.
-Refreshing because I was able to revisit a camp that I grew up going to as a camper. A camp where God become real in my life. A place where I wrestled with heavy questions placed on me and asked even bigger ones. As I looked to the future threw the lens of a camper, I would search for ways in which God would use me and I think I might have found it in what I do now.
-Entertaining because we met new friends who invited nonstop humor and excitement. Along with opportunity to meet new people, old friendships were reunited as well allowing us to keep the good times rollin'!
-Eyeopening because who knew on the first night of camp, high school campers would be so hungry for God that they would shout, clap, and jump around during worship because that were so stoked to express themselves before their Father. Eyeopening because adventure was easy to come by and when going on hikes that would leave you awestruck for the beauty of creation.
Here are some pictures throughout the week:
The first night, a band called Attaboy from Indiana played a set. They were legit dudes who love the Lord.
We went on a hike one day.

The Return of Buck Buck!
Victoria in the midst of sweaty smashed teenage chicas
I went on another hike to a tree that fell down a while ago during a thunder storm. Lightening struck and took this monster tree down in a flash.
Walking through an avenue of giants
This is King David Tree on it's side
The Roots
Walking on top (or the side) of King David
Chris Farley... I mean... Brent making a fool of himself the excite the hijos before the service!
Getting ready to Rock
Heading down the mountain... only took two hours. Waitin' by the side of the road for our brakes to cool down.
We're in Victorville tonight. Headed to Big Bear tomorrow after we play at the morning service here. Can't wait for SoCal Camp!
Blessings,

Lions, Tigers and Aliens? :: Post #5
Hi Friends! We just came out of another great week of camp in Ruidoso, New Mexico. We feel so blessed to have been a part of this camp as we have experienced God impact many lives. From incredible camp staff to a rad/hilarious/loving director, we were truly blessed.
Last weekend we stopped in Roswell and played at Roswell First Church of the Naz as we met some great new friends. After the Sunday morning service, before heading up the mountain, we couldn’t miss out on the world renown U.F.O. Museum. Quickly, we learned that everyone who works there has “had an encounter” with an extraterrestrial and their stories leave you with a sneaky grin of great interest yet testy disbelief.
New Mexico | Camp #4 :: High School & Junior High
From Roswell, we headed to the hills. I would soon discover an unknown mountain range where prairies and peaks would surround me and all I'd see for miles is refreshing pine trees lining the brim of the Rocky Mountains. We soon learned that thunderstorms strike every afternoon creating quite the light show in each dark gray sky.
Camp Bonita
Games- Once we arrived at this camp, we found out that they had a Human Foosball court! - Chad and Garrett = Stoked.
Chris, ready to rock.
Team Name: Radiation #1
Katie, ready to enter into the next game playing for Team Radiation #2.
Radiation #1 VS Radiation #2
After hours of dirty, competitive, and intense utilization of rusty soccer skills, Team Radiation #2 became Number ONE!

Rock Climbing/Zip Line
Katie, waiting to take flight.

"If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball." Bring it New Mex.

Good Morning Mate!

Rach and the Carvin are a one two punch.
Not sure if you picked up on it yet but We're actually sponsed by Taylor ;)
Gar loves his H two O.

The first morning before campers arrived, we went to the Den and Rach won a new friend.
Some call him Chad the PLNU Admissions Rep, some just call him Cream Puff.
