I love looking at the sea.

The beach in front of our camp


It's no wonder that blue and light tan is one of my favorite color schemes.

meeting outside in one of our sessions


Geovanny, our team leader, was one of the speakers.

This is Andres, Geovanny's son. The children had a presentation to give on the last night of camp. Andres was suppose to say one line during the program. When it came his turn he was nowhere to be found. His mother found him hiding in their dorm room in fear of speaking before everyone. She brought him to the service (yes, the program stopped until he was found) where he said not only his one line, the name of the country we were going to pray for, but all kinds of other information- how many christians in that country, what the culture was like, etc.- as well. His words flowed like a seasoned speaker! It was amazing and delightful.


Daughter Anna enjoyed all the activities they had for the kids/youth.


The sea can be very distracting during a session that isn't as interesting as others. I always sit on the end of the row so that I have something beautiful to look at during those times!


What can I say- they love their carbs at camp! That's a piece of chicken on top of the rice and potatoes.


They have a tradition for washing dishes at camp- each one does his own.


The Hammock- an essential part of life on the beach!


I love bouganvillae and this is my favorite color!


On the last morning of our camp a group of fishermen came and fished right in front of our camp. Usually they fish a few miles down the beach. It was really interesting to watch them all work together pulling in their nets. They do it in such a way the nets don't get all tangled up. They didn't pull in much that morning but entertained us all (yes, I was naughty and played hookey to go watch them!)


One of the fishermen


Their catch, such as it was, included a lot of these small stingrays. One of the fishermen pulled out the barb in the tail so we could hold it safely.


Where there are fishermen, there are birds competing for the fish. It was fun to watch the pelicans. Many of the fish were too small so the fishermen would throw the fish high into the air and the birds would swoop down and catch them.


There's nothing more beautiful than a sunset on the beach.





It is traditional in our camps to have a bonfire on the last night where we sing, pray, and share what God has done in our lives during our time there. We used to just sit on logs around the fire, but they are getting fancy these days and brought out benches for us to sit on.
