Hello, New World!

Well, here it is! The first post on the first blog for the Diggins family of Alaska. I feel like I have just entered a new world...or perhaps I have just begun to enter the 21st century! Anyway, here is a short update on what is happening here:

Maverick #2 (Jr. Hi) is this week. With 105 campers, we have a good amount of energy around here. The sky trolley is getting plenty of use and the tubing is very popular with this group. They are out and about all over camp in spite of the downpours we are having this week. Yes, downpours...there is hardly a break between them all day long and night, too.

Jon-Michael is the camp speaker this week and he is a very popular speaker among the jr. highers. He mentioned to me earlier today that a camper this week has been very angry with him. When he spoke the truth of Jesus in chapel it didn't match up with the teachings of the cult this camper is involved in. He had no clue someone was here from that cult and he did not address any issues directly regarding any cults. He simply spoke Biblical truth. Could the Holy Spirit be awakening a heart? We all hope so. That is why each member of our camp staff is here.

Ok, I am closing for now. I want to see if I can actually get this to post properly, etc. Until next time...

Safely in His hands, Michele for the Alaska Diggins family
