Le Papillon

Finally I have some time to sit down and write an update ! Sorry it's been so long, 3 months, since the last one :s Upon returning from Africa I have been quite busy with a visit from Tarah my cousine, connecting with friends one last time before heading to the States, Camp des Cimes, work, WorldVenture application for career status and debriefing at WorldVenture headquarters.

Camp was great this year ! In all, I was at camp the entire month of August and so helped with English camp (high school camp) and adult camp as I did last year. Last year I was a part of the service team cleaning and this summer I was a couselor. Because I was around the campers more often, I had more interaction with them, more conversations and many more and deeper connections. Interestingly enough, this year was my first backpacking trip... even though I am a

Colorado native, haha. It was great fun and I look forward to doing it again.

What a joy it is to serve God in this way and in the beautiful French Alpes ! As France is a country with a biblical Christian population of less than 1%, a Christian camp is a great respite and light from the presure and darkness around them. Please pray for their encouragement and strength to keep their light shining brightly !

My last few days in Paris friends from camp stayed with me and helped make those days a perfect end to these past two years. The evening before I left we went into Paris and had a pique-nique on the island of Saint-Louis next to the Seine !!! Thank you God !!!

When I returned Stateside it was not long until I found a job with my brother Kit doing landscaping and it sounds as though I will have my old job at the hospital back as soon as I fill out my application, so thank you for your prayers concerning a job ! Once I hit the ground here, I also began my application to WolrdVenture for career

missionary status. My dossier was finished and turned in on September 7th so God willing I will be accepted by the end of the month and attend the appointement weeks at the end of October beginning of November. Once this happens I will begin support raising and God willing be in France next fall.

I don't want to make this update too long so I'll stop here and give more next time :)
