first week of camp!

well we went up to camp for the first time this week! it's gorgeous....pine trees in the mountains with blue sky in the day and bright stars at night. i learned how to do cpr on dummies with no arms and legs and hopefully it'll work the same on people with limbs too if i ever need it. we even got to play with "training" defibrilators so i feel very prepared now =P. the whole staff worked together one day to muck out our pond...by hand. it was really fun and messy...i'll hafta put up pictures someday. we got our first group of campers this week and it was good. i got to work with a co-counselor and we had 5 little girls. our youngest was 5 years old and it was a fun week! i mostly know my way around camp now i think =P - only got lost a few times haha. it's so pretty there. and i got a fun new superhero cape for "the phantom farmer" and i even have a super power now....i transform into different farm animals and plants haha. we presented our first lesson this week in my group and it seemed like it went pretty smoothly. the times with other counselors have been so good....theyve been so helpful and welcoming and fun and its just been such a good time. theres such a focus on the Bible and even taking kids back to it whenever we're walking around with them or disciplining or anything like that and its been good. the counselor devotions in the morning and the meetings where we have like 15 college-ish kids gathered in a little room singing and doing motions to little kids songs are some of the best memories so far. God has blessed me so so much out here. it's been a very good week. i'd appreciate prayer this coming week for rest and focus and love (the patient kind =D) and thanks agains for all of you who are praying. it means very much and makes a difference too =D. hope you're all having a good week! and it's time for me to go now and have another meal prepared by some favorite cedarvillians. much love to you all.
