Good Morning!
I am so blessed to have been able to attend this years Camp Meeting in Ventura, CA. One of my fav. quotes that relates, "A joy shared is doubled". My brothers were able to attend the camp as well so this joy was tripled! lol Even tho anybody who went can testify, these types of camps cost a lot of money to put together. Registration for these events be very expensive for campers. With that said, it was neat to hear stories from many of my friends on how they found ways to raise the money. Some Traveled as far as North Carolina and even Georgia. Bro. Alvear put it best one night when he spoke. He told of how his son really wanted to make it to the camp. His youth worked really hard to attend as a group and also raised money for the Pastor and his wife to travel with them. Bro. Alvear was reminded that his son wasn't asking for a concert ticket, or sporting event seats but rather asking for more of God. We really could not put a price on such a special camp! The preaching was phenomenal. Elder Lambeth spoke in the morning and Elder Kerr in the evening. I was truly blessed and recommitted. Yes, it cost me a bit but I am FOREVER grateful. I have memories that will last a lifetime. As Bro. Lambeth stressed, we've got to go DEEPER. That is my prayer and to preserve my walk with God. As we all should strife to do. One day at a time.
Annnnnnndddd now....PICTURES!

@ Anvali
Thank you for relaying the competitive message to Jen. haha I like your blog as well. Team 5 was a lot of fun!! I'll check it out. I've been really getting into spanish praise music lately. Mainly the classics like, "Quando levanto mi manos". etc. But hey it's a start. lol
Ahem * cuando, lol and yeah Spanish music is the best, but some are too modern. Jesus Adrian Romero and Marcos Witts OLD cd's have good music. And Jen's still the blog queen in my book lol
ReplyDeleteElias, you posted an entire yearbook worth of pictures! (high five) that makes up for you rarely posting :)
ReplyDeleteWow, so many pics! I haven't even uploaded mine yet cause my laptop crashed and I don't know if my dad will let me upload them on his. lol Anyhow, yes thanks for the lovely competitive message. Haha! Keep trying to blog....lol
