Camp Bighorn Day 25 7/14/2010

My day began with devotions at 7:30 am. We all gathered in the lodge to go through the reading in our devotional books for the day. After devotions and announcements I went back to my cabin to get ready for the day. When I finished getting ready I got the mail out and headed to the lodge to get some breakfast. We had French toast, it was great. We all enjoyed food and fellowship with each other. After breakfast I came into the office and finished up my blog entry for the day before. I had most of it already written. I just turned the detailed outline I wrote into a blog entry. After I finished my blog I sorted and distributed the mail. When I finished with the mail I went down to the ropes course to take pictures of the groups who were going through the course. Taking pictures of the different events is really fun. It’s cool to just walk around and observe and take pictures of what is happening in and around the different groups. I came back to the office around 11:30 am. It was a pretty quiet day in the office. I helped get receipt letters ready to mail. I folded the letters and also put a bunch in envelopes. I found several letters that were to people who are supporting me. So I recorded the amount of each gift on the letters I have from my supporters. It’s cool to know that people are supporting and praying for all of us here at camp. After I finished with the letters I made a list of my supporters to use for writing thank you notes. Then it was time for lunch. We all gathered in the lodge to get some food. After lunch I came back to the office and worked at my computer and answered the phone. Jeremy and Sarah were in a meeting for most of the afternoon. I hung around in the office and used my computer to check e-mail and facebook, read for a while, and answered the phones. I was in the office for the afternoon until a little after 6:00 pm. When Jeremy and Sarah were done with their meeting and back to the office I went to my cabin to take a nap until dinner. It was nice to get some extra rest at the end of the day. I woke up in time for dinner. We all gathered in the lodge for some great food and fellowship. The store was open after dinner. So I helped Jeremy run the store. I was mostly in charge of directing traffic in and out of the store. The store was really busy. It’s fun to see who comes into the store and what kind of stuff they buy. The store was open until about 8:00 pm. When we finished in the store I went to get a soda and some candy for dessert. I talked with some people in the lodge for a little while. Chapel started at 8:30 pm. I went to one of the junior high chapels. It was fun to hear what the kids and leaders had been up to all day. They played some games and then gathered up to talk about their experiences during the day. It is always really great to see how God is working in the hearts and lives of the people who come to camp. After chapel I came into the office to check my e-mail and called home to talk to my parents. We had a really good talk. I got a little update on what is going on with some of my family. My brother and his wife will be moving to Florida sometime very soon. The engineering company my brother works for has offices in Florida and the company wants him to start working in Florida as soon as possible. That is very exciting news for my family. I talked with my parents for a while. When I got off the phone I talked with Andrea for a while. We had a good talk. She is a really cool person. When we finished talking I went to my cabin to get some sleep. I went to sleep thinking about what was in store for all of us in the days ahead. More on that later…
