Camp!!

This year we went to a Bible camp and our brothers and several of our friends came, too. We had a blast!! From the pool (boys and girls swam at different times) to all the sports and skits, camp was GREAT!!
But, what was even better than all the activities, was the preaching services and the devotions held each day. We were blessed by the preaching and the different singing that they had. We had a chance to sing twice during the services. On Tuesday morning just us, ''The Hawks Trio'' sang, and on the next day we had a mini choir! (Well...not really. Haha) We had 4 girls and about 6 boys. We sang ''He Touched Me!'' the second time. (What a wonderful song!) Rebekah played the piano both times and we really enjoyed it. What a blessing to be around other teen-agers who are serving the Lord. One of our friends in our group gave a devotion on Tuesday night in our cabin, and it was wonderful. She did a great job!
 We made lots of new friends and got even closer to some people we'd known for a while. We didn't want to go home on the last day. I truly believe we could have stayed another week and not have cared a bit! We loved it that much! We got to celebrate the 4th of July there, too. It was an amazing week...teens made new commitments and changes, and had so much fun all in one week!
 You can have fun while going to church and serving God! Bible camp is not boring, actually, it is LOTS of fun!!!
