Well, while I was sleeping there was morning word, that Jonathan led and I heard it was really good, I’m kinda bummed I missed it! Then the students had team time again. The girls just sat around and played some word games and the boys headed up to polar bear pond. Then they had an extra “Bonus Free Time.” That’s when Kathy and Gabi came and woke me up for lunch.
MMM… Turkey Sandwiches was our lunch today. After lunch we played a game on the green. I don’t really know what it was called…something like “Swirly, Twirly. Splashy…Gamey-thingy.”
They circled around a kiddie pool in their teams. While holding hands they walked around the kiddie pool and tried to get the other people to step in the kiddie pool and then they would be out.
The cabin with the most people still in at the end of the round, won. The girls decided to team up against the other churches and so they eliminated all but 2 other girls. It was kinda vicious, yet extremely funny.
After the crazy game and R&R, there was free time so I decided to hang out near the snack shop and I ended up playing cards the whole time. It was really fun!
Dinner tonight was burgers and fries (or salad in my case). After dinner the students had one last Team Time where they wrote encouraging notes to each other and what they learned this week about themselves and about God.
Ryan’s talk tonight at CAMPFIRE was really good. We talked about what we’re taking home with us and what we need to remember—There’s no Place like Home! We need to keep what we’ve learned in our hearts and minds down the mountain. As they were closing the campfire in music Gabi, Kathy and I could not stop laughing. It was over nothing and it was so funny that we couldn’t stop. Man it was fun and funny!
After cabin time tonight they had a dance party for the whole camp where they played fun and crazy music and we just danced our little hearts out on the Green. They had hot chocolate and ice cream sundaes for everyone! It was so fun. At the end they had us all lay on the grass in our cabins and cover our eyes. They turned off the lights and then told us to open our eyes and we looked up at the most beautiful night sky I’ve ever seen. The stars were so beautiful and bright. From up here we could see the Milky Way, the big dipper and Orion (I’m sure others too, but those were the ones I could recognize). The girls cabins continued with star-gazing after the dance was over and I came back to my room to rest and pack.
Well we’ll be coming home tomorrow and part of me is really glad to be going home and another part of me is so sad to leave here. So many wonderful things have happened and we’ve had such a wonderful time. I love all the friendships that have developed and I can’t wait to see what God has in store for us when we get home. This was so much fun! I can’t wait to come back next year!
Peace and Grace to you!
