Halfway up the mountain!!!!!!

Hey all!! Today we're halfway through the week - we all had a successful day and most of us finished our projects. We got away with very few injuries... be in prayer with Clark Hooks because he got cut by some tin and had to get a few stitches. Knowing Clark, you wouldn't be surprised to know he's in good spirits and everyone's lifting him up for his bravery.

At dinner we were surprised by George and Rene Bass. They came up to see how we were doing and we were so happy to see them!!!

Some pictures from our day...

It's the first day, and it already feels like it's a hundred degrees--and we haven't even done any real work yet!

Our YRG's awesome. The community of people that we are in is great--we wasted no time playing for squares, ultimate frisbee, volleyball, and octoball together. Quite frankly, they are all pretty interesting to watch. The food is super yummy. The staff are hilarious, energetic, and so fun to hang out with. Mountain TOP feels like family.

We cannot wait to start working and meet the people of Van Buren County. It's gonna be a blast.

Love from,

Aina and Rachael Junard

hey there blakemore


well its going great everybody is really nice and its surprisingly good to meet new people.  today was very very long but never boring it went quite entertaing.  i got to play sand volleyblall and 9 square and octoball.  the food was good and the ice breakers were good as i think icebreakers always are.  it rained really hard for about 30 min wich was fun for me and the other rachel because we ran in it and rolled down a big hill...but that was bout all.

We've had a great first day at camp!! There are about 100 of us here at camp and we were broken down into "major groups" and then youth renewal groups (yrg). Tomorrow is our first day out working with our yrg's. Very exciting! Tonight we're playing games and then it's early to bed.

Thank you all for keeping us in your prayers this week!

Getting ready to go!

We are just a few days away from heading up to our week at Mountain T.O.P.! We've been planning for months and are very excited to finally be there.

We'll be using this site to share our experiences with friends and family at home while we're away. Feel free to follow along, comment, and share with others. Much love to you all!
