Summer's Over!

This has definitely been the best summer I've had in years! I've made some really great memories and some even greater friends. Although the schedule has kept me insanely busy and I've barely even had time to sleep, I've absolutely loved cooking out at Forest Cliff Camp.
I thought I'd post a few pictures so you can get somewhat of an idea the things that go on in the kitchen and see some of the people that I've had the opportunity to work with this summer. The first picture is of me icing the cinnamon buns, that we have for breakfast every Wednesday morning and then the next picture is of me and the week seven guys, getting the roast beef ready to go in the oven.
I kindof like this picture of me with my 'mom hat' on, because it became a really souvenir of week seven, when the guys that were in the kitchen all changed their camp names, and then changed my camp name from 'Carrots' to 'Mom'. It was really a great week with lots of very memorable times! In this particular picture, I'm making the gravy for the roast beef dinner.
Of course, I can't forget my kitchen crew girls. The kitchen crew are such a big part of what goes on in the kitchen, because they serve all the food to the staff and campers, and then they even do all the dishes. If it wasn't for the kitchen crew, us cooks would NEVER leave the kitchen! This picture was taken at the luou on Thursday night of week seven. It was an all-girl kitchen crew that week, and boy was it ever a lot of fun!

Things have definitely wound down around here. I'm still living at camp, even though the summer program is officially over. I've moved all my things into what is considered the 'Nurse's Station', during the summer. It's nice to be living in an insulated building again. The trailer's been kindof cold lately and those racoons can be really loud at night. I've finally received confirmation that I will be returning to Haiti to teach English as a second language, with Haiti ARISE. I'll most likely be headed back down in the middle of October. I'm really looking forward to spending the rest of the school year down there and having the opportunity to really get to know the people there. Please continue to pray for me as I prepare for this trip. Please pray that God will provide all that I need financially, and also that I will be emotionally and spiritually ready for all that lies ahead. Thank you all, once again, for all your prayers and support. Now that camp's over, I should be able to keep this blog more updated, so keep checking in!
