Camp Bighorn Day 30 7/19/2010

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. I really enjoy this time it is a good time to pray and connect with God. We are all usually tired at 7:30 am but we all seem to get a lot out of our devotional time in the morning. After devotions we had a time for staff announcements. The directors of the different departments around camp announced when and where their teams would be meeting. Luke announced what jobs everyone would have during the family camp that would begin later that day. Everyone is always really excited to know what they will be doing each week. After announcements I caught up with Sarah. She said the administration team would be meeting at 8:45. I was not feeling very well so I went to lie down in my cabin until our meeting. After I rested a little I went back to the office for our meeting. In the meeting we went over what we would be doing during the week. Jeremy and Sarah will be gone from Tuesday to Sunday. They and Dave and Judy McPhee are going to Creation Fest. They will be leaving on Tuesday after breakfast. My job description is pretty much the same as always. I will be in the office answering phones, taking care of the mail, organizing and sorting pictures, I will do some write ups for the facebook page and the website. I will also be working with the facilities crew in the mornings during the week. After our meeting I got the mail out and then headed to the lodge to get some breakfast. I had some coco puffs I bought at the store the day before. They were great. We all enjoyed some great food and fellowship around the tables. After breakfast I went back to my cabin and took my vitamins and some aspirin and went back to bed for a while. I was still feeling sick. So I rested as much as I could. I got up and came back to the office to wait for the mail to arrive. I chatted with Jen, Dianna, and Samantha in the office. When the mail finally came I got it sorted and distributed. After I finished with the mail I went back to my cabin to get ready for the day. Then I came back to the office to work at my computer and cover the phones for a while. I sorted and organized some pictures on the camp hard drive and put them in a photo album on facebook. I posted a blog entry. I was in the office until lunch time. We all gathered in the lodge for some food. After lunch I went to my cabin to rest for a while. I listened to my ipod for a while then went to sleep for a bit. I woke up around 5:00 pm. I came back to the office and used my computer for a while to check e-mail and facebook. I saw a guy that I worked with when I worked here in 1999. His name is Jay. He and his girlfriend were here visiting. I sat outside and talked with Andrea for a while. I headed back into the office until dinner. We gathered in the lodge to get some food. It was fun to catch up with some people and hear about what they had been up to all day. After dinner I got a soda and some dessert. It was great. I wandered around camp for a while. Jay and his girlfriend were still here. They were talking to Zach Vanderwall. I went over to where they were standing and said hi to Jay. It was good to see him. We all had a nice time talking and catching up. It was fun listening to Jay and Zach talk about their past adventures. After a while Mindy wanted to use my computer so I came into the office and logged on to my computer for her to use. Then I went back outside. Jay and Zach talked till about 9:30 pm. Then Zach headed home. I came back to my computer to type up my blog. I also checked some things on the internet. I talked with some people in the office. When I finished my blog I was going to call my parents, but it was too late. I shut down my computer and headed to my cabin to get some sleep. I went to sleep thinking about what adventures were in store for us the next day. More on that later…
