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.

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.

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.

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!
