          I’m sorry your foot hurts. Remember to do the stretches as often as you can. That will help. I hope you had a super awesome day today. I know you will be challenged this week, but I am confident you can do this! You are an amazing son- I believe in you! Try your best my guy. Love you SO much!

    Hi Braden! My name is Sharon and I met you at send-off. I saw the video of you riding your horse today!! Wow, Buddy! That is so awesome!! You did an amazing job! I met Meisha when I was at CranHill in June and she is a beautiful horse. You are lucky to have her as your horse. Are you having fun with her?
    I’m praying for you!! I am praying for god to keep giving you the courage to try new things and overcome fears. You are doing such a great job at camp! Keep having fun! Can’t wait to see what other activities you get to do.

    Isaiah 1:9 is one of my favorite bible verses. The verse says:

    “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”

    God is ALWAYS with you Braden!!

      Hello my boy. I heard you are pretty good at rock paper scissors. Very cool. I know you will be on the trail tmro. I pray your foot holds out until Sunday, and that you continue to meet challenges and try your best. It’s boring here without you! I cannot wait to see you! Love you to the moon!

    Braden,

    Wow! You are doing so great at camp. I have loved seeing you on the videos. I am so impressed with all the new activities you have tried. Sounds like you are great at extreme rock paper scissors. So cool.

    Tomorrow is a big day! You will be starting your hike. You are going to be able to practice and the skills you have learned to accomplish something amazing. When things get tough, remember you lean on your friends for help, listen to the staff, and most importantly trust in God. He had prepared you for this.

    I can’t wait to hear all about it when you get back.

    I am really proud of you.

    Stay strong!

    Michelle
