To tell you the honest truth, I had no intentions of attending M-Fuge this summer. I only decided to come to camp two days before we left, but it has truly been worth it. I chose to be in the children's ministry area because I felt led to do so. One of my youth leaders told me that they worked with Mission First last year, and I knew after her explanation that I would absolutely love it!

The first day I was at Mission First I was in the singing room, which I enjoyed a lot! I had a song prepared that I had written a long time ago. It's a fun energetic song that every group seemed to enjoy. No matter what room I was in, the kids would ask me to sing the "Birdie Song!" The kids called me "crazy" because of my different hair color. But it was all in love.

Towards the last couple of days, I became really close to G'Montae! He is so adorable and very caring! He has a heart of gold and no matter what instruction I would give him, he would listen very carefully! I wish that I could be here every day because I became close to the children and got to know them very well! I love them all very much and I will continue to pray for them when I go home!
