banana-haters have feelings too

dedicated to the kids at occ's huntington retreat, july 3-6, 2003

top ten huntington retreat moments:

10. Learning that to be a servant can sometimes mean removing a roll of toilet paper from the toilet with your bare hands. Okay, actually I used paper towel. But it was still gross!

9. Watching God's fireworks on July 4th while trying to avoid getting struck underneath our very METAL umbrella. At least during cabin sharing we were nice and cozy inside!

8. Wiping shaving cream all over my arms so the kids wouldn't get me in other worse places, only to realize that by then the game was already over. :Þ

7. Samuel Yao's constant state of bewilderedness. He's so cute! heehee...

6. Watching my small group do their skit. I swear, i had NOTHING to do with the hatching Lamb of God! The cheer was pretty sweet though. Great job guys!

5. Prince Jordan resurrecting Snow White from her slumber. AWWWW...

4. Dave's interpretive rendition of "The Enchanted Forest." If only we had a video camera...

3. Winning the cookie Iron Chef contest! Thanks to Rob for his expertise. His orange-glazed brown sugar-raisin-powdered sugar cookie was a hit! Too bad none of us got to taste it...

2. Leading a Bible study and getting to know the kids in my small group. It was a blessing!

1. Praying for my kids during open mic sharing. Thanks guys, for letting me pray for you. I trust that God was and is listening, and that He is going to continue working in your lives!

Thanks to all who made my first counselor experience a blessing and lots of fun! Mostly, praise God for His faithfulness! Keep in touch!

always,
Laura =)
