Camp Bighorn Day 44 8/2/2010

The adventure continues. I woke up at 7:00 am. We all gathered in the lodge for devotions at 7:15 am. We went through the reading for the day in our devotional books. The reading for the day was called “God sees the inside.” The reading talked about the fact that man looks on the outward appearance of a person but God looks at the heart. The main scripture reading for the day was 1 Samuel 16:1-13. After devotions it was time for announcements. Luke announced what jobs everyone would be doing for junior camp this week. Everyone was very excited to find out what they would be doing during the week. After announcements I went back to my cabin to get cleaned up and ready for the day. When I finished getting ready I headed to the lodge for breakfast. We all gathered in the lodge for some great food and fellowship around the tables. After breakfast I went to the staff lounge and the office to get the mail out for the day. I discovered that someone had already taken care of getting the mail out for me. The administration team met at 10:00 am to talk about the week. We have several summer staff people on our administration team this week. We talked about what everyone would be doing during junior camp. After our meeting I got the mail sorted and distributed. When I finished with the mail I hung around in the office for a while. I used my computer to check my e-mail and facebook. I covered the phones. I talked with some people in the office. I was pretty much in the office until lunchtime. We all gathered in the lodge to get something to eat. It was fun to talk with some people over lunch and hear about their plans for the week. After lunch I went to my cabin to take a nap. I was not feeling very well so it was nice to get some extra rest. I got up from my nap around 4:00 pm. I headed back to the office to see what was going on in there. The first group of junior campers arrived early. Junior camp registration began at 5:00 pm. Most of the campers arrived by 6:00 pm. The group coming from Shiloh arrived at about 6:15 pm. My dad and my brother Terry drove some of the kids from Shiloh. It was good to see my dad and brother for a little while that evening. My dad brought me a huge care package my mom put together for me. I had a good time catching up with dad and Terry. They headed back home at around 8:00 pm. I was really home sick when they left. I wanted to go home with them. After they left I showed some people the care package my mom sent. There was so much stuff in it to share that we decided to have a party for all the girls in the dorm some time this week. That should be fun for everyone. I came back to the office to type up and post my blog entry for the previous day. When I finished with my blog I called my mom. We had a good talk. I thanked her for sending me an awesome care package. It is always good to talk with my mom. After we talked for a while I got of the phone and headed to my cabin to get some sleep. I got back to my cabin and talked with some of the girls in my dorm. After we talked awhile we all went to sleep. I went to sleep thinking about the adventures that are in store for us the rest of the summer. More on that later…
