lars the intern

A big part of my internship is living with a host family. A host family, opens up a bedroom, a bathroom and a seat at the kitchen table- by allowing me to stay with them they make my internship financially possible.

This weekend I'll be moving for the fourth time in about 5 weeks! Downtown Phoenix -> the Leggett's -> the Browns and my next stop will be with the Jenkins. I feel like I'm on a speed dating show called "the who's who of New Life" ;-)

Each move has been blessing! Currently I'm living with Sean and Michelle Brown. They're a wonderful young couple, with great hearts and they are a lot fun to be around. Although I only stayed a short while between moves I have really been enjoying my time!

Before the Brown's I was staying with the Leggett's. Originally, the plan was to stay there for about a week. Well, that turned into about 4 weeks... but I'm really thankful it did! I was welcomed by Scott, Jenny and their three children like family. The Leggett's are great people, who truly have taught and modeled a lot that I hope to see in my life and family one day.

The Leggett Kids!

My next move will this weekend with Elaine and Lou Jenkins. I am very excited for this upcoming move. Earlier today Elaine showed me around their home- it’s a beautiful and spacious home.

Hey all, I just got back from our Junior High Camp at United Christian Youth Camp in Prescott(UCYC.) Our time there was a huge success! I was a counselor for the 6th grade boys' cabin. Our students enjoyed some awesome recreation times: paint balling, a zipline, a 40' climbing wall, as well as off-site rock climbing and kayaking were just a few of the things that they experienced. It was great to watch our students build friendships, work together and share new memories!



UCYC has a beautiful campground that inspired our students to be in awe and wonder at God's vast creation. We were blessed with some phenomenal times of worship music and teaching. This week became life changing for many of our students. Some were moved to tears learning about Christ's love for them.
