Monday Camp 2011

To start the day off, Mark was to lead us in devotion, but he forgot so he make shifted and talked about his anniversary and what marriage is all about. Continuing with the armor theme, chapel was about the helmet of salvation. The story to accompany this was of Shadrach, Meshack, and Abednego. Today's lesson was on occupations and it seemed to be a slow day for the children. They were quite tiered. Lunch was an over medium/hard egg with green beans and mashed potatoes. It was quite random, yet sill good. I was kind of skeptical because I was not sure of the kind of egg I was eating. It seemed to large to be a normal chicken egg, but that’s what it tasted like. Following lunch was a celebration for the all the adults for Jolene’s birthday and Mark and Julies anniversary. It was a cream puff and Beth asked me, “Can I eat it and use my epi pen?” I told her might not be the best choice but it could be exciting. Our craft for today was to create a wallet out of duck tape. Some children had a hard time sharing the fun, colorful tape at first, but after getting it taken away for a while they straightened up. Drama was a review of the plays and the children were starting to become more familiar with them. It is great to see them really get into the acting with their facial expressions. Since it was kind of rainy out we had "sports" inside. It started out with Train Wreak, then human knot and finished with "Honey, if you love me..." Which is quite hard to say in polish. Music was combining all the different skills taught in the past days as a way to prepare for the performance later in the week to come. Dinner came quick and it was Pyzy which is kind of like a egg noodle dumpling with shredded beef in the middle. To conclude the campers day we played Family Feud with the classes and all the adults being of "their" separate teams. Tonight was also when we had to start our good-byes because Estera had to leave early. Closing devotion was lead by Jolene and it was titled, "View from the Mountain." No matter were we are in life, either the top or the valley of the mountain we can see where we are headed and where we are going with God as our leader. Some of us ended up playing Prawlo Jungli and had multiple fights over the totem. Ending in laughter we all headed to bed.
