Christ Lutheran in Orange

This week I am at Christ Lutheran Church in the city of Orange. I have an awesome team that I get to work with! We have had a lot of fun so far this week and it's only Tuesday! Saturday night we stopped in Buena Park and had dinner at Tyler's house. Him and my mom made us all dinner! It was delicious. Our team loved it! Our host home is great! We are staying with an older lady named Jean. She lives in a gated community with a pool and she wanted us to go enjoy that. So we went to the pool and spa and planned out our stuff for Sunday. Sunday morning we taught Sunday School and did the children's sermon in the service. We went to Chipotle (it had been too long since I'd been there) for lunch then went to Huntington Beach to drop Brandon off for dinner with his family. He lives super close to the beach so we rode bikes down to the beach for the afternoon! It was gorgeous! Brandon attempted to teach me to surf. It was fun but mostly unsuccessful. haha We met up with the day camp team from Fountain Valley and gave them some of their stuff that we drove from Yolijwa. It was fun to see them! We went home and Aunt Jean (that's what we call our host) had a wonderful dinner prepared for us! We went to the pool again to plan worship, games, and Bible Studies for our first day of camp. Yesterday we met some adorable kids! Our campers are great! We have about 23 kids who definitely keep us busy and make us tired each day! We are having so much fun with them. I just love the kindergartners and first graders!!! Craft time is a little chaotic but manageable:) For dinner last night the boys BBQed hot dogs for us. They were so good! I really love BBQ hot dogs these days. After we cleaned up dinner we went to Downtown Disney to hangout and watch fireworks! It was so magical!!! We had a ton of fun! And we went to a candy shop and got a carmel apple to split. We had a lot of fun and it was great to laugh and bond with some great people!! Tonight we are going to watch a movie at home and rest. We are wiped out!!! Tomorrow we are going to the Santa Monica Pier to hang out with all the day camp teams!! I'm so excited!

Lovin day camps and the people I'm with,
