Camp Bighorn Day 38 7/27/2010

The adventure continues. My day began at 7:30 am with active devotions. We all gathered in the lodge to read the passage for the day in our devotional books. When we finished reading our personal devotions we headed out to the field to get some exercise. I went outside for a while and then headed back to the lodge to finish the devotional reading for the day. When I finished my reading I prayed for a few minutes. They everyone came back into the lodge. We gathered for announcements. When we finished I went to the office for an administration meeting. We went over what was happening this week. We got caught up on how things are going for everyone. We talked about what events we would be involved with during the week. I would be taking pictures of the ropes course and rock climbing. I was excited to get out and get pictures of what is happening around camp. After our meeting I went back to my cabin to get ready for the day. Then I came back to the office and got the mail out before heading to the lodge for breakfast. We all enjoyed some great food and fellowship around the tables. It was fun to hear about what people had planned for the day. After breakfast I came back to the office and typed up my blog entry for a previous day. When I finished my blog entry I collected, sorted, and distributed the mail. When I finished with the mail I headed out to take pictures of the ropes course and rock climbing. I took a few pictures of the guys on the low ropes course. I headed over to the rock climbing area to take some pictures. Then my camera ran out of batteries. So I had to go back to the office to get different batteries. When I had new ones I walked back to the ropes course and took a few more pictures. Then as I was heading to the climbing area again the same thing happened with my camera. I went to the office again to get new batteries. When I got new batteries for my camera and a helmet for myself I went back down to the climbing area. I decided I would try to take pictures of the climbers first. Just in case my camera broke down on me again. I took some pictures of the climbers. I hiked up to where they were climbing so I could get some better shots. After I was up there for a while I headed back to camp. I got back around lunch time. I was pretty much done for the day when I came back to the office. Then it was time for lunch. We all gathered in the lodge for food. We all enjoyed great food and fellowship around the tables. It was fun to hear about what everyone had been up to all morning. After lunch I was in the office for the afternoon. I went down to the ropes course again to take some pictures but when I got there no one was around. I walked back to the office and decided I would not go back down to the ropes course because my ankle was giving me trouble. It was hurting so bad I was having trouble walking. So I hung around the office and worked at my computer for a while. I checked my e-mail and facebook. I responded to some e-mails. Then it was time for dinner. We all gathered in the lodge for some great food. After dinner I had a soda and some dessert. I talked with Janelle for a while. We had a good talk. After we talked for a while I headed upstairs in the lodge to go to chapel. I took some pictures of the chapel service. It was fun to see how the group was bonding after just two days. It was cool to hear how God is working in their group. After chapel I came back to the office and typed up my blog entry for the day before. When I finished my entry I called my parents. We talked for a while. It is always good to talk with them. They are enjoying their summer. After we talked for a while I got off the phone and headed to my cabin to get some sleep. I went to sleep thinking about the adventures that were in store for us in the next few days. More on that later…
