After last year's mission trip to Belize, there was no doubt Karson was going on mission trip again. He saved his Christmas and birthday money and thanks to the help from grandparents, he had enough money to go to Alaska!
This group of 22 went to Solid Rock Bible Camp near Soldotna, Alaska. The "wiser" bunch worked on remodeling staff housing and the students were camp counselors. The camp was a 3 hour drive from Anchorage, so they saw lots of beautiful scenery.
I know what you're thinking...WOW! Karson was so sweet to take pics and share them with his momma. uuhhhmmm NO! He didn't send a single on! Lots of the moms that went took pics and sent them to me. Thanks so much to each of them!!!
One of the afternoon stations Karson worked was the rifle station. He loved that. The above pic was what they did on their time off. Went to Chris and Andrea's room to use phones. HA!!
One night (only not in the dark since the sun doesn't go down til 1am) they had a counselor hunt. The counselors hid from the campers. If they got caught they were thrown in the freezing cold lake. No Texans were caught!
Probably the coolest thing that happened was that Karson and Hunter decided to be baptized. What a proud moment as a parent. He has given his life to the Lord and shown all those campers an awesome example. Unfortunately we didn't witness it in person, but again those moms came thru. I had pics and videos from every angle!! They said they cried for me too!!
So thankful for the men and women on this trip with Karson. All were super encouraging and had so many nice things to say when they came back. The men and several boys spoke before the baptisms with verses and words of encouragement. So special...and I have the video thanks to those mommas!!!
So proud of this kid. His example to serve others and now to follow Christ is amazing. So blessed to call him mine!!
