I don't think very many of of you knew, but I was at camp Manitoumi in Illinois July 13-18. The camp is smaller than IRBC and doesn't have a lake or anything, but I really like it. They just added bathroooms, showers and air conditioning to most of the girls cabins (Which there is twelve of, I think) and will be working on the boy's cabins next. We got new bunks, too, so no graffiti.
The theme this year at Manitoumi was "The Wise Shall Shine".
Those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever.
- Daniel 12:3
That was our theme verse. I don't know exactly how many people got saved at camp, but I know that one girl from our team excepted Christ - please pray for Alex, as a new christian.
The speaker was Pastor Brant Vanhooser, and I think he helped Bailey a lot - she told me that she was "perplexed with herself" because she had been spending more time reading popular books and stuff that she was spending time in God's word. There was a point where Bailey told me she was going to camp, then she wasn't going to camp, then she was, and then she wasn't again. In the end, she came, and I think she's happy she did. I'm happy she did, too.
Anyway, I learned a lot, and so did the people in my cabin and team. I brought home a handful of prayer requests, one that I told.
