Alaynah was a long-time camper & a SALT! She cannot wait to spend another summer at camp & is excited to impact lives for God's glory!

If you were a pasta shape, what would you be and why?

If I were a pasta shape, I would be Bowtie Pasta because I love bows and wearing them in my hair. I also love all things girly and bowtie pasta gives me a stylish and unique vibe. Although I think it is very elegant, I also think it is a very playful pasta and I am very playful and love to have fun!

What are the top three things on your bucket list?

The first thing on my bucket list would be traveling to Egypt. The second thing on my bucket list would be swimming with dolphins. The third thing on my bucket list would be to go on a hot air balloon ride over the Grand Canyon.

If animals could drive, which animal would be the best and why?

If animals could drive, I think an octopus would be the best because it has 8 tentacles to use for the steering wheel, adjusting the mirrors, pressing down on the gas and brake, and of course controlling the music! They are also very smart animals so I think they would be very good at navigating to different places. 

What's your favorite Bible verse and why?

My favorite bible verse is Proverbs 3:5-6 which says, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding: in all your ways submit to him, and He will make your paths straight." This is my favorite bible verse because it is always a great reminder for me to put my faith in God and not worry about what the future may hold because God already has a plan for me and it is perfect. I also love how this verse explains that we should lean on God and submit to him because God is so good and he will not lead us astray.

What are you praying for in anticipation for this summer?

In anticipation for this summer, I am praying for fun, friendships, and to see lives changed. I pray that God really moves through the staff and campers this summer and leaves us with changed hearts and souls on fire for Jesus!
