Basketball Counselor
I was a counselor coach for children, ages 7 - 13 years old, in April & May of the year 2011 when I was 26 years old. We would meet at the Salvation Army's Moore Street Corps church in Portland, Oregon USA Friday nights for about 2 hours and each Saturday from around 8 - 10 AM, or so.
I guided my dozen or so of kids to the different activities. There were basketball drills, games. We had snack time, games, and other activities.

Party at the Campbells
Party at the Campbells.
After Blake Edwards Webb died on Sunday: the 2nd of May 2010, I moved in with the family of Jackie and Bruce and Maggie and the brothers Cambells in Portland, Oregon USA. I lived at their house until the day I hopped on an Amtrak train to be a Relief Counselor & Program Staff at the Salvation Army's Camp Redwood Glen in Scotts Valley, California USA. A few days before going, Charlotte Battle let me pack my things from my apartment room 414 in the Alder Housing Apartment: 523 Alder: Portland, OR USA, or the address is something like that. I was able to pack my bags into her van and we stored them at The Salvation Army's Moore Street Corps church. After camp, we took my stuff into her house in PDX. I lived with Charlotte from July 2010 until June 2011 when I moved back in with my dad, where I was born and raised at 163 Rose Grove, Forest Grove, Oregon USA.
At the Campbells, we saw movies in the big screen. We watched the sitcom TV show the Big Bang Theory. We would play Wii video games, especially Donkey Kong and the New Adventures of the Mario Brothers where you can play four players at the same time.

The Cook At Camp Kuratli
The Cook At Camp Kuratli.
He was actually an assistant cook, or a substitute cook. He said that he knew Lincoln Hawk. This man was around 27 years old in the year 2008. This was my second time working at Camp Kuratli. I also worked there in 2007. Before that, I worked at other camps during the years of 2005, 2006, and 2010.
He said that him and Lincoln go back to like 5th grade or something. This cook was only a few years old than me. in 2008, I turned 23 years old. I do not know how old this cook was but he was taller and bigger than me which makes me think he was older.
He was fun to talk to. He was enthusiastic and full of energy. I have never seen him since, that is after camp that year of 2008. He was staying in a room across the hall from me. During the weekdays, I was a Wilderness Counselor with my co-counselors out under tarps with campers in the woods but we had weekends off, and we were given rooms to sleep in during weekends.
This cook told me I could go in his room and play on his Nintendo Game Cube (video-game machine console). I spent all day every Saturday and Sunday usually playing the Game Cube version of Paper Mario (video-game). I think I got close to the end of the game but then it was the end of the summer.
The second summer here was missing Jeff Walters, Blake Webb, my sister Crystal, Seth, and possibly others that are dear to me, but there were things about 2008 that were unique and special that I will never forget, including the climbing wall that I think was not there in 2007 yet.

Wilderness Counselor
My sister inspired me to apply at Camp Kuratli of Trestle Glen in Boring, Oregon. The application landed in the lap of Michael Kurtz in 2007, and he became one of my best friends to this day.
He liked how I drew myself in the application, since one of his questions is about drawing yourself, and he allowed me to be a wilderness counselor during the summers of the years of 2007 and 2008 at The Salvation Army's Camp Kuratli.
One of my favorite summers were those 2 years.
My camp name was Oatmeal in 2007.
In 2008, my nick name was the Ice Breaker.
Mike called me Ice Man, because he was Maverick from the film Top Gun.
He called me his right-winged man.

Donald Kamese
Donald Kamese told me that if you are dating a girl, take her to "Bull-fighting" because she will think it is so romantic. This Donald Duck was born in Africa, lived in Europe, and even went on to be a missionary in Mexico.
I met him during my first year working as a wilderness counselor at the Salvation Army's Camp Kuratli of Trestle Glen in Boring, Oregon, United States.
He went on to write a book called Mission Possible.

To Save My Mother
To Save My Mother
I am always thinking about my mother. My father was having affairs, for decades, and he was leaving her and living other places. After my one year at my second college, the Appalachian Bible College in Bradley, West Virginia USA, 2006 - 2007, I returned back to the same trailer that I was born and raised in, which is at Rose Grove "Ghetto" Mobile Trailer Park Community: 3839 Pacific Avenue Space Unit # 163 in Forest Grove, Washington County, Oregon, United States of northern America.
I gave my mother the money (almost $2,000 USD) that I earn from the Camp Kuratli during that summer of the year 2007, when I was 22 years old. I was there to save the life of my mother (Marilyn Mitchell of Restore Main Street).
I promised to stay with my mom for at least a year, so that I could support her. I felt conflicted when I saw the opportunity to do Revolution Hawaii. I told my mother about my conflict and I said that I would still honor my commitment to her, but she told me that she would be fine. So, I ended up doing Revolution Hawaii after getting the blessing and approval of my mother.
My mom reunited with her high school friend, Bill Williams Cunningham, and they moved all of her things to his house in Shelton, Washington, United States. My dad helped carry things out of the house. My dad ended up living there after my mom moved out. My dad still lives there. My mom marries Bill in November of 2008. I walked her down the aisle. Bill died in 2011 I think. My mom married Larry Mitchell in 2012. I was not there for that.

2nd Summer As A Ranch Counselor
2nd Summer As A Ranch Counselor.
What was different about my second summer working at the Ranch, from the first summer, was the special snack bar thing that they had for the counselors. On a certain day, each week, at night, you would go to a building to fellowship with other counselors, worship God, have snacks, drinks, and somebody usually gave an inspirational sermon to keep the counselors focused.

West Coast Counselor
West Coast Counselor.
I was able to send letters to people I knew. I asked them to give me money. I needed around $400 to around $800 USD or so, or more, or something, so that I could fly from my first college, the Word Of Life Bible Institute (WOLBI) in Pottersville, New York USA, to the Word Of Life's West Coast Camp (WCC). I raised enough money. People mailed in money or I at least thought people did. I was able to fly in an airplane to the camp. I was able to be a counselor. I use to go to this same camp each year when I was younger as a camper from the years of 1999 to the year 2003, which was 5 strait years.
