West Virginia Bound

Hello everyone!  Sorry I haven't written in 2 weeks but everything has been so crazy!!! During the end of our setup week we had a lot of time to hangout and do fun things by the board walk.  Kohr Bros. is supposedly a very popular place, so we ate there and it was wonderful!!!


I love my ice cream and sprinkles!!!
We ate at this place and the wings reminded me of wing stop!!!

So we finished up our week in Ocean view.  The camp was fantastic!!!! I absolutely love my job and could never ask for a better one!  Unfournatlely I did not get to take a lot of pictures at this camp, but I promise next camp I'll do better!!!  All of our site coaches were hilarious and I hope I stay in contact with them.  They are the ones who go to all the work sites and make sure everything is getting done properly and answer any questions that the campers on the work sites may have.  We had 8 of them which were all men and I adored them all!!!  Our director Bill was super nice and he was very hands on with everything so he turned out to be a huge help. Our MC Setrak thinks he is hilarious and he is a huge diva but he was so much fun to serve with and hopefully we will get to see him again before we go back to Colorado at the end of the summer!!!

We had about 430 participants in our camp in Ocean View.  The youth leaders I came into contact with were awesome.  Every night Karen and I would read a bed time story to the girls...they loved it!  We had a great time as a staff!!!  During the week I got to go out to visit the sites twice so I went with Tyrus...he was super excited that I was going with him!!!

 My office team member Jean was awesome.  We had way too much fun together and we got into all kinds of trouble...it was fabulous!!!

Me and Jean!!!
 John sent me a care package!!!  I had cookies from that package everyday for breakfast cause the food was soo bad hahaa.  It was a life saver!!!

Our co-sponsor for our last camp and his wife, Pastor Woody and Christina, spoiled us rotten while we were there.  They gave this to us as a going away present.  This Bible was sent to several different places in the United States, and the whole Bible is hand written.  It is seriously the coolest gift I have ever received.  My name is even engraved on the front.  I will miss Pastor Woody and Christina and all the other helpers we had while in Delaware, their kindness and hospitality was overwhelming!!!
They even engraved it.  It says Kelly 1st State Workcamp


I LOVE IT!!!!

 We stayed in Wilmington Delaware yesterday and tonight and tomorrow night we will be staying in Washington D.C.  There will be more pictures and stories to come!!! I'm sorry I've been so busy that I haven't been able to text or call anyone but please keep trying to contact me and I will do my best to talk to you.  We are on our way to West Virginia, but there is no power where we are going so we are trying to figure everything out.  Please pray for us, they said the power may not be back on until after the campers get there next week so we are working on it.  We will need the prayers.  I love you all and I will talk to you soon!!!
