Favorite memory from Aldersgate:
There are so many memories it's hard to pick just one! As I sit here on the back deck of my house in Australia I think of all the amazing people I met and all the incredible moments I was apart of! My favourite (this is the way it's spelt!) memory would be listening to one of my 10 year old campers and her sharing wisdom beyond her years.

Funniest Memory from Aldersgate:
As I think back on all the hilarious things that happened at camp, I can't get past the time a 10 year old camper told me that she thought I was 30 and when I said I was actually only 18, she declared "Wow, most 18 year olds I know are pregnant or high on crystal meth!"

Please write a short statement of where, how, and with whom you are doing life currently:
I'm now back in Australia. I'm studying primary teaching at the University of Canberra and am officially half way through my degree! I am actively involved in my church back home and with my sister I run the youth group and a weekly bible study for high school students. I am so very happy and grateful for such wonderful experiences at Camp Aldersgate!
