I spent the last week at a camp called CYIA, it stand for christian youth in action. It is basically a week learning how to do 5 day clubs. It was one of the best weeks of my life, the kids were adorable, I got to counsel a couple of children for Christ and I grew in my spiritual life.
One of the most amazing things in the world is having God use you to bring someone to Christ, it doesn't get much better than that.
Also my team was absolutely amazing I had my supervisor(a girl), two other girls, and then a boy on my team, and I kind of feel sorry for the guy and the overload of female he got for the week hehehe. hopefully he isn't too scarred from this experience and will come back next year despite his predicament of being stuck on a team with 4 other girls, who despite the male presence didn't care to tone down any of their girliness.

washington weather humor...
Now if you have ever spent any amount of time in Western Washington, there has probably been something you have noticed- not the Space Needle... not the Pike Place Market... but, the rain.
When people visit from China to see the great city of Seattle they don't remember the city,
they remember pondering to themselves if they should have brought a boat with them, so that they could get to their hotel without drowning.
Now of course it is good to keep everything green, but it has gone past the point of keeping everything green to drowning everything it can get its slippery hands on.
Also, like everything else out there to get me, and ruin what would might have been a perfectly good week, I think it too has a evil sense of humor. Have you ever noticed how the day can start out as sunny, warm, and a semi good day, only to be crushed when it decides to rain cats and dogs all the while you hear spontaneous sinister laughs seemingly coming from the sky while you get soaked to the bone.
And it seems that these days mostly happen when you plan some big event, like an outdoor birthday party... a day at the lake... or the biggy, your outdoor wedding that you have been planning since you were six years old and specifically placed in August, just so that assuredly it would be sunny, right? I think not. And even worse when you pick this special day and it just ends up being the only day in August that it rains. coincidence? Nope. Like I said before, the weather most assuredly has a malicious sense of humor. It's out to get me.

Camping, sunburns, and blow up mattresses gone bad...
I went camping in Eastern Washington with my best friends family this last week, and lets just say it was... interesting. I spent the week hiking, swimming, and attempting to get a tan, and I have to say I failed at the getting a tan part, I personally think my skin has a evil sense of humor, I can just hear it thinking to itself: so this time I will turn a slightly brown color just to give her some false hope, and then I will go completely red and CRUSH it, BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!! or something along the lines of that...
while we are on the subject of Evil things, lets talk about the blow up mattresses we were using... now I can sorta understand, I mean they are cooped up in the garage for a year without any entertainment other than the occasional giggle when someone attempts to get something out of the garage, and then ends up getting buried in a mountain of miscellaneous camping/random things we throw in the endless pit of stuff, some people call a garage.
but still, why must they pick me as their victim. I can just hear them giggling while planning there Evil plans for the night when we are getting breakfast or out on a hike, so Fred hehehe you slowly let out your air so that at the beginning of the night she thinks that she will get lucky and wont end up on the floor, and then then crush her hope like a grape, hehehe, then I will stay up until the other one falls asleep and then deflate so fast she will hit her head on the ground, then tomorrow we will switch, giggle, giggle... I swear one night when I woke up at around 2 in the morning to a hard floor and a deflated air mattress I heard a giggle. Now I guess it could have been one of my fellow campers, but still its kind of suspicious, don't you think?
