This last week I had my first assignment at Hope Lutheran Church for a Day Camp! YAAAAAY! We had 22 kids and it was a pure joy to work with and love on these kids:) On Sunday, my team and I attended 3 church services and did the Children's Sermon. We taught the kids a song from camp and performed it for the church. This church and congregation was so generous! We stayed at the church and when someone heard that we were sleeping on the floor, they went out and bought us air mattresses! How thoughtful! We were blown away! Each night we went to the home of a family who volunteered to make us dinner and let us use their showers. We ate so well this week!! We were definitely spoiled with smoked roast, porkchops, BBQ chicken tacos, tri-tip, lots of veggies, and showers longer than 30 seconds!
One part of day camp that I was in charge of was the Creation Station(aka Art Room). I got to make sample projects, instruct kids on how to do the projects and help them! I absolutely LOVED it! Crafts and kids are two of my favorite things:) I also had a small Bible Study group of 4 and 5 year olds that I led. I loved being able to work with these amazing kids! It was such a blessing:)
I was very lucky and got to work with an amazing team this week as well! My friend Beth and I were put on the same team and I was so excited! Everyday after the kids left, we cleaned up, and then planned for the next day, we went running! Although I was exhuasted from entertaining kids for 6 hours, being able to go out and go running around the church was so great! It was something that I looked forward to every day:) This past week I was beyond blessed by a very generous congreation, amazing kids, and a wonderful team of counselors! Fortunately I was able to come home for the weekend for Emily's birthday and the 4th of July. On Tuesday I head back up to El Camino Pines for week 2 of campers!
{Much love from a girl that is beyond blessed}
