Weekend of Camp

Image
As the title implies this past weekend I was at CAMP! This camp was different from most camps that I have worked with because this time there was not just kids at camp, it was the whole family. Also because the parents were there instead of counseling the kids I was their Bible teacher/co-game runner with Desire. It was also a more relaxed atmosphere than what I was used to but it was a very good time. Right before the adults preacher was about to start all of the kids were dismissed. We then had about 45 minutes to tell them a Bible story and play some games with them. The kids were from ages 2-12 so it was challenging to find games that they all could play and give lessons that they all could understand. We eventually broke them up into tow groups and with the help of CJ and Chae we were able to all have a fun time.  View from near the top Warning sign at the trail head View right before we went down Since coming to Africa one thing that I have missed dearly is hiki

Whats Happening

Things have been getting into a bit of a routine here in South Africa. School is going on, so the kids are in school and therefore there is no camp right now. But we do not sit around and cry in South Africa when there is no camp. Instead we get other things done! During these past few weeks I have been working in the office of Brad Hawkins -a missionary here for the past 9 years- filling various roles. Currently another missionary Mike VanBruggen and his family are back in the US for furlough so John Cottier and I have been doing some of the things he usually does. I would go into great detail about all the things that I do on a day to day basis but that would be a very long post and no one would actually read it except for my Mom. So here is a nice list to skim through. 1. Call Churches to check up on clubs and things like that 2. Design newsletters/posters/flyers/any thing else made of paper for any upcoming event 3. Be a Olympian club leader on Fridays 4. Be a Teen club leader
