Hey!
I've forgotten to write about KAA and what a wonderful time I had there. I mean, to sum it all up quickly I had a wonderful time! I got to re-visit being a komo and work in the kitchen one morning (I completely forgot how early we had to get up!) and I got to see some of the lovely people I worked with two years ago. They are still so lovely and great. I got to play in Branson (yay for senior citizen's Las Vegas!) and get some rocking earrings. My kids opened up during Cross Talk and it was heartbreaking to hear their struggles, but wonderful that they trusted me to open up about their problems. The kids had a bit of a culture shock adjusting to camp, but overall I think that they learned a lot and really enjoyed it and I pray that they want to go back next year!
I think the most impacting lesson I learned that week was at KAA 3's Cross Talk where the director said: If you flirt with sin, it's going to rape you. The images that, that statement conjured up were so powerful and have stuck with me. I've just been really trying to not place myself in situations where myself, or others, can be tempted to stumble. I think people try to play with sin too much and are surprised when it doesn't turn out in their favor. I'm trying to avoid it at all costs and I thank God I never was good at flirting.
In other news, I have decided to not pursue guys that I like. I'm going to start pursuing those I hate, because those I like always (and yes, I mean always!) have something wrong with them. And I'm not talking general human imperfections, I'm talking they have criminal records. I can neither confirm or deny that this happened at camp. Alright, I'm out!
love,
ktv
