Ashlyn Burke-Jones – (SR Camper):... SEP…Wow amazing camp!  This year was amazing. My dorm was so supportive right when I got there. I felt like ‘wow’ these people already love me and they don’t even know anything about me. Heather was my dorm leader for me the first year I was at camp I think it was about 2005 or 06 and she is just the best.(: She was my dorm adviser this year as well and I thought wow I have someone here that kind of knows me. But I also had Holli in my dorm she was in my dorm last year. Just camp is so life changing I think to myself, “Normal people are never like this, are they trying to fool me?” Every year I come to camp saying, "Oh, I’m going to change. I’m going to start going to church." but I never follow through. This year I think I’m going to. God pursued me in so many ways. I now know more about Him, I choose to talk to Him, I have let Him into me and I love Him and know that He will always be there for me. SEP brought me home as someone that changed. Because of this wonderful camp my faith in God has become stronger. At camp I asked God - I said, "God, right now I’m not feeling my best friend is strong in God and I asked Him if she was bringing me down and if she was right for me.  Turns out God said, “Ashlyn she is bringing your faith down.” He gave me a sign. He talked to me. My friend text me and said Ashlyn we are no longer friends for such a reason as because I couldn’t hang out. So I thank SEP because if I didn’t go then I would have never noticed how bad I was living and how lost I was. I have found a new and improved Ashlyn. May not be perfect, but loved by the right people. (:
