An Alaskan Testimony: A Recap By Darcy Pellatz

Survival was such an amazing week, I had fun and I learned a lot of things. One example is the importance of encouragement. Your team can do so much more, if you together as a team encourage each other. And don’t give up; keep trying an idea before you throw it out completely.  I also learned that without my team I couldn’t have done much of anything and that’s the same with God, without God in your life you can’t do anything.

In the evening the leaders asked us to think of spiritual analogies that we learned that day during different activities. With the shooting sports I learned that we have to keep our eyes on the target, and that’s like with God if we don’t keep our eyes on Him we’re going to mess up.

I also learned different survival skills like how to build a shelter out of natural materials, how to make a water still, and what berries and plants are okay to eat, and many more things.

If possible I definitely would like to attend a Survival again. And thanks to all the staff who made that week memorable
