I don't even know what to say right now. Camp starts tomorrow. All systems are go (hopefully) and everything that has been previously mentioned/talked about goes into effect. If camp was a rocket ship we'd be counting down.

Anyway, I really have no good things to say or stories to relate to you right now. Pray that camp goes well. I should have some better stuff next week. Until then,

Sitting, Sailing, Singing, Standing, Searching...

Hello at the end of week one of Staff Training!

The title pretty much sums up all the "S'' words I have been involved in during the first week out here at Cedarwood. There are probably more. Who has time to list them all though. I most likely don't.

Things have been going really well out here. Everything is underway in all aspects of camp and it is a beautiful thing to see community built so quickly and to have so many people with good hearts and work ethic. Pray that can continue and that energy levels would remain high as everyone has lots of work to do.

Mostly I have been doing lots of music stuff so far and my band is amazing and talented. I think they are all better than me, so that is helpful and nice. This is Dale, he plays guitar.



Dale is a wonderful character.

This week the majority of our teaching has come from Pastor Daren Redekopp (a former director at Cedarwood) and has focused on the gospel. What it is, why we believe it and how it should take root in our lives so that it may transform us every day. We often take the simple message that Christ died for our sins for granted and apply it only to our conversion experience, however, the gospel is worth far more than that in our daily lives and deserves a lifetime's worth of study and thought.

Anyway, this is an update, not a sermon, so blessings on your day and thank you for your prayers. Cheers,

Jordan

A Rival....

Ok, so I don't have a rival so much has I had an arrival at camp yesterday. Yes, I packed up my van yesterday as you can see here:















After packing my van at 8 am I headed to the YFC office where, lucky me, I was privileged enough to do some more packing of our program office in the city. That's what the next picture is all about.



















And now, camp is here. And I have an office. And I have lots of work to do. And life is good.















To give an update on staff, we are currently at enough counselors to run the summer without pulling our hair out too much. So please praise the Lord for that because it has been a huge answer to prayer. Thanks for the prayer and support. More updates next week. Cheers,

Jordan
