    Hi Cohen, Grandma and I are praying that you have a wonderful and blessed time at camp. We will miss seeing you and hope to hear some exciting news from you soon. We are praying that God will help you to better understand just how much He and your family love you. We also pray that you will be making some good friends at camp and will be able to help them as they also work thru some difficulties in their lives. Hope to hear from you soon.
    Love, Grandpa and Grandma Van Enk

    Hi Cohen! I am so proud of you for following through with this program. I am confident that if you give it your best everyday, that you will discover things about yourself that you didn’t think were possible. Keep open to new experiences and look for ways that God is teaching and leading you. I’m going to miss you this week!! I love you!

    Hi Cohen, Grandma here. While I was eating Cheerios this morning, the radio guy was talking about God’s creation in Psalm 104. I thought about you enjoying God’s creation this week and I am looking forward to one of our golf cart trail rides when you can tell me about it! I also heard this morning of a guy finding a bear locked in his car during the night. His car was trashed! He said his car is now a Su-bear-ru. Just had to tell you yet another animal story! I’m thinking about you, praying for you, and you know that I am loving you very much.

    Hey Cohen, We miss you! But we are so glad you are having a good time. It’s fun to see the photos of you with the other guys and the horses. Finally a good use for your cowboy boots, LOL! :). I can’t wait to hear more about what you are learning and what you are doing. You should write in a journal so you don’t forget anything. I love you so much and I am very proud of you!!!!!

    Hi Cohen, We are looking forward to seeing more photos of you tomorrow. I imagine that by now you are ready to trade in your lawn tractor for a horse! I’m sure it is a much quieter ride (and possibly faster as well!) I can’t wait to have you share with us how God is becoming more real to you as you draw closer to Jesus. We are so proud of you; that you were willing to give up over a week of your summer vacation to spend with total strangers. I’m sure your new friends are no longer strangers, and am praying that you can keep in contact with many of them even after you come home from camp. Hope you get a good night’s sleep and are all rested up for more exciting activities tomorrow.
    Love, Grandma and Grandpa

    Hi Cohen!! I’ve been watching all the videos posted on Facebook and every time I have one up, Kensie asks to watch too! ๐Ÿ™‚ She keeps telling me we are “missing someone at home” right now so know your absence is noticeable and you are missed. It looks like you are doing incredible things and getting to experience so many things. I’m sure you will have so many stories to share with us! Keep up the great work and remember you are loved by many.

    Hi Cohen,
    All these new adventures remind me of the saying- Courage is not the absence of fear, it is the determination to do something in spite of the fear. Know you are there for a reason. Praying you have a great day and are making some new friends. Let us know how the trail ride goes.

      Hi Cohen!

      Not sure my post last night went through. ๐Ÿ˜• How’s it going?? We would love to hear from you! It sounds like you are doing some super fun things while bonding and problem solving with peers. That is so awesome! I hope your anxiety has gone down some and that you are able to really focus on everything you are learning and experiencing.

      Hope you’ve been eating alot of good food too!!! ๐Ÿ˜

    Hi Cohen, It has been exciting for us to hear about what a great time you are having. It is such a blessing to know that you have camp leaders that love Jesus. I’m sure you have a lot on your mind and we are praying that it isn’t too overwhelming. Don’t forget to pray for the rest of your family; we miss you very much and will be eager to catch up with all you will have to tell us soon. Looking forward to seeing more photos tomorrow. We love you. Grandpa and Grandma.

    Hi Cohen,
    We are keeping you in our prayers as you have your final time with the horses and move on to the trail. You are BRAVER than you believe, STRONGER than you seem, SMARTER than you think & LOVED more than you know. Hope you enjoy this time in nature. I’m thanking God for being with you this week. Cast all your cares on HIM. You can do this!!!

    Hi Cohen, that spaghetti, marshmallow and tape tower looked really cool! You’ve probably told your new friends about the fantastic shop you have at your home. The river also looked very refreshing. I hope you have enough quiet time by yourself where you can pray and reflect on all that God is teaching you this week. It is our prayer that you will never forget this important week in your life and the lessons taught will help you navigate thru any new challenges that you face. God is certainly answering our prayers that you have a safe and fun time as you enjoy His wonderful creation. Please remember to pray for your leaders; they also need God’s wisdom and strength to keep up with so many young, energetic boys. With much love, Grandpa and Grandma.
