camp #2

So Monday (the 13th) we went and picked up another team of 7 and they were from Washington! So we had two teams here at once. So we, Johnny, Brooke and I, were doing debriefing with one team and orientation with another team! So we made it through that, and the TN team left early Wednesday (July 15th) morning and then we started our Jr. High Day Camp at 10am and went until about 10:30pm and did that until Saturday! I was relieved about this camp because I was not going to be in charge of teaching or leading a small group, I was just going to be in charge of the late night’s and I was so excited about that! Well I think the KEY to missions is a little thing called FLEXIBILTY!!!!!!!!!! So Brooke and I ended up teaching, but it was good. We had two really sweet girls!! We only had 5 students show up, so it was really small but I think it was a success. This was the first time to do a Jr. High camp, in Celje, so it was the ground-breaking work! ☺
The day camps look a little different. We started around 9 getting stuff ready and the kids came at 10! We would literally play games with them for 2 and a half hours and then go get lunch together. We would teach English from 2-5 and then have an activity for them that went with the theme for the day! Then have dinner, our discussion time, and our late night activity! Then they would go home around 9:30 pm and we would clean up and go home! Fun, but exhausting!!!!!!!!!
OH and how could I forget? For both camps, Brooke and I taught the theme song every night! It was “Wake up, Wake up” by Everyday Sunday! The dance was awesome! Good times! We laughed a lot!
So that camp ended Saturday night! Sunday we had church and a beautiful afternoon of rest!!!! Oh how Sundays afternoons and evenings are becoming my favorite time of the week ☺ Tuesday we went and visited a school that one of the moms from one of the kids from the Jr. High camp, works at, if that makes sense. It was a horticulture school. So she gave us a tour of the place and it was really interesting and then she taught us all how to make bouquets of flowers. I know now that that is not a gift of mine!! After we were done with that, we took a couple kids to the pool and hung out with them for awhile. That night we debriefed with the team and went for ice cream. A packed but fun day!

These were plums that were so so yummy!! Brooke and I picked and ate a lot :)
Learning how to make a bouquet. There is a great reason why I should never work with flowers :) Mine was terrible but it was fun!! But the tiny baby spiders that were crawling everywhere were not so fun :)
