Well, rather unexpectedly, this summer found me back at camp on Boracko Jezero for three weeks (four if you count my time with the Eagle team!). I say unexpectedly because 2 months ago I thought I wouldn't be able to go to camp at all. However, God knows the desires of our heart and enjoys surprising us with them. I not only went to camp for nearly a month all together, I somehow wound up as a last minute member of the full time camp team--as one of the three cooks! There were actually 8 weeks of camp so I was only there for half because of my move to Sarajevo and my brother's team from Cody, Wyoming. However, those 4 weeks, especially the 3 straight weeks I just spent there, were enough to leave me exhausted and very appreciative of all the comforts of the modern world. You can see pictures from all six weeks of camp on the website www.emekberaka.org. You can also check out my pics on Facebook if you're a member.
I was at camp for the young adult camp (age 18-30), family camp and the second teen camp. All together we served nearly 300 people over the 3 weeks of camp. It was a great time and the Lord truly blessed me with great co-workers in the kitchen. Each morning, we three cooks would spend a few minutes praying for the day. This along with the quite time I was able to have each day between 6 and 7 am (while the water was boiling for coffee for the workers and campers) were some of my favorite times at the camp. 
Another of my favorite times was worship because I have found few places that are a better testimony to the greatness of our Creator than the valley where our camp is surround by mountains rising up all around us.

Hey Petula - really enjoyed looking at your Blog page. I love the pix of the Mts. at camp. I remember them well - I had such joy each morning when I came out of my tent and say His beautiful creation. I miss the Mts. of Bosnia. Hope to see them with snow on them some day. I am praying for your ministry. God Bless! Mary Jo
