Lucas' Baptism Day!

Today something really exciting happened - Lucas Allen, one of our LIT's this summer, got baptized!!! Lucas was with us for training week, and than LITed the first 6 weeks of summer, then cabin led the next two weeks, and is now out here as a camper for the last week! The willingness this guy has to serve is amazing!! We had such a sweet chance this summer to really watch Lucas grow, and we were so proud of him today!!!! He is one incredible person, and a really great leader - we really love him! Him and 6 other people got baptized in the lake here at camp!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE baptisms, they make me so emotional and happy! Being able to watch Lucas make this proclamation was really sweet. Here are some pics from the day!:

Jon with some of our amazing LIT girls before the service started! Natasha and Marika are LIT's still this week, but Bo came just for the day, and Heather and Ava are campers this week!

AWWWWW!!!!! These three are AMAZING!!!!!

The whole camp gathered around the beach just before the baptisms started
