Today was most excellent, we spent a
while in prayer for the upcoming week first thing in the morning and
then began the necessary prep for campers to arrive.
Also I should mention that the staff
did the climbing wall and zipline here at TWM at some point. My
memory is fuzzy on whether it was Sunday night or Monday morning.
Either way it was fun and when I reached the top I was amazed how
little the height was affecting me, and then I made the mistake of
looking straight down... at least by that point I was already done
and it was ok that my brain shutdown in a panic for a short moment.
Anyway campers arrived and were
assigned teams {the composition of which was 1-2 guys and 4-5 girls,
one male counselor and one female counselor} and at the time of this
writing we've completed several challenges without winning any. But
thus far we're doing well, the team is bonding and we havn't really
embarrassed ourselves in any of them.
And now for a strange collection of
short paragraphs.
One of my campers was a bit hesitant to
be placed with me instead of the same leader he had last year but
Keith {the leader he had last year} put in a good word for me and
since then I haven't had any issues.
It is already exciting to see the
changes between high school kids and the little guys. We had a short
moment of reevaluating coming off of primary camp but it's very cool
to be with an older age group.
I'm really excited about my partner in
crime this week. Thus far we're working quite well together and it
should be a great week for us and hopefully for our kids as well.
{as mentioned yesterday these were
written on the day in question and are simply posted late... for the
sake of historical accuracy I'll copy everything as accurately as
possible}
Prayer Requests:
-That I can find time to get everything
I need to done this week
-That I and the rest of the staff will
have enough and the right kind of energy to keep up with our charges
this week.
-Nick
