Day Camp

Well it has been a while since I wrote a blog. I am of course back from my journey to Austria, Hungary, and Slovokia. It was an amazing experiences and one word to sum it up would be community. I felt that community was built between both handbell groups through many circumstances. After tour I journeyed home with the man and was only home for maybe 24 hours. Then we were off to Camp. I cried after my family and my love left. But I was shortly later greeted by some amazing people who made me feel right at home. I will say the first two weeks during training it was hard but it was a great growth experience. The next week there were over 400 youth around camp. It was not a normal camp week but it was fun. I continued to form relationships with the other camp counselors. That weekend we found out where we would be at and I was supper excited to work at a day camp this week. During my day off I went to one of my friends houses and we slept in did laundry and talked A LOT! Oh and caught up on our favorite TV shows. Sunday we had our service, cleaned and headed out to day camp. I had the unfortunate experience of getting my first speeding ticket....grrrr....thats another story for another day. After cooling down from that I was in camp mode and ready to go for the kids. This week has been so much fun and so challenging at the same time. Yesterday my highlight was being chased by little kids with buckets of water and getting soaked! Today I was pulling out the discipline card...lots of tired cranky campers. But overall they are so much fun! Tomorrow is the last full day. And we have a parent program to put on at night. But all in all the week is winding down. I am thankful for this week and looking forward to what the Lord has in store for me. I will say one thing that is on my mind is how much I miss my friends and my love! Well until next time...
