When I first met Will outside my car on that first day, I didn't think much of it. It was a simple "nice to meet you" before moving on to the next thing. As the weekend went on, however, we kept bumping into each other. First in the breakfast line, then by the Big Top tent, and then ultimately paired together for the everlasting adventure. I was excited to learn that I'd get to spend the scavenger hunt with him, as he'd already made me laugh in our brief encounters so far.

It was an entertaining afternoon as Will cracked jokes, messed with his blindfolded campers, and told stories of getting deported from London (twice). All of it culminated in the group debrief time at the end, though. This is where I saw that there was more to Will - he shared some insightful truth with these students and I could tell it stemmed from a true personal relationship with the Lord. I knew he was the real deal.

The next day, I made sure to text him and Andrew in a group so he had my number...
