CEF (Child Evangilism Fellowship) in Warrington Missurri, is a great ministry and their mailbox club leads something like 3,000,000 kids and adults to Christ yearly, so it's extremely fruitful. I guess that in itself is a big part of why it is so great to go there.
The thing that touches me most about CEF, though, is that when we're there we're like family. When else am I going to look foward to playing games with Jacob and Scotty? When else am I going to sit around with Junior high girls and listen intently as they each share deep feelings for a different McCurdy. Honestly. It's almost like I get a small glimpse of what church is really supposed to be like. Like what it would be like if everyone were related (and we act like that too, having our moments of selfishness or other such things that cause fights.)...and it's great.
I love CEF and luckily it's usually a trip where people of all ages are welcome, so I'm sure I'll be going there for many more years to come.

YEA!!!!!!!! I want to go next year, too!!!
I'm glad you guys had so much fun. Did the girls get their e-mails from me?
I'm really glad you posted. I know what you mean about "family". Killing trees with Scotty and Jake was a bonding experience!
Are you SO TAN?
"...as they each share deep feelings for a different McCurdy."
Funny! You probably STARTED the conversation. ;)

Josh--I did not! I sware....and when I say a different McCurdy I mean it, it was weird to hear some girls talking about their crushes on Daniel..;)
I thought you might appreciate the fact that Scotty actually said, "It was more fun when Josh was here."...;)
Gret-You guys HAVE to go next year! Everyone said they missed you all terribly!..and yeah, I'm pretty tan..:) Not sure what emails you're talking about though.
