AHHHHHH 11 year olds!

Greetings,

So I guess it's been awhile since I blogged on this thing. We are in our second week of juniors camps so 9-11 year olds. I am with 11 year olds and this week is throwing some definite curve balls at me. I have had homesick kids, kids fall out of bed, 3 girls not getting along, a CIT who is driving me bonkers with her taking over the leadership and whatever else. I can't wait for this week to be done. I miss my campers and friends from last week too. They were so great. So please pray for patience for me and a happy positive attitude and the ability to confront my CIT and talk about things. It's frustrating having someone overthrow my leadership. Also the girls have had tons of questions so pray that they will continue to open up and accept Jesus as a Saviour.

On my brief 24 hours off, Alycia, Lonnie and I went into Nanaimo to shop a bit, went to Montana's and then went to the Proposal. The movie was alright, good to get out and do something mindless none the less. Then on Saturday morning Lonnie and I went out for lunch, our usual thing, and had a great time. I am so thankful for her friendship.

The next two weeks after this is junior high camps, so 14 year olds again. A bit of a struggle but maybe I will be counselling by myself and then it should be alright. Today we just had the big slip and slide and water fight game and later I will be lifeguarding down at the waterfront. I am really enjoying doing that, mainly because I get to help out and talk to campers a lot. Please continue to pray for patience for me in general, and for most of the staff. Just having to put up with campers and other staff and other things that arise that aren't super fun. I also went on the 80 ft swing yesterday with my campers and they had a blast. It's fun to push them out of their comfort zone. They will certainly grow too.

I can't believe it's already the middle of July and 3 weeks of camps have almost past. God is sure working here and it's so awesome to be a part of it. I love it. Thank you for your prayers and thoughts. Later days!
