Camp Bighorn Day 6 6/25/2010

Life at Camp Bighorn is good. I am still adjusting to my new environment and new job. My day began with devotions at 7:30am. We did our individual devotions then got into our family groups and got caught up with each other and prayed. It was a good time of connecting with people in our group. We all talked about how our experience at camp has been so far. It’s good to know that I am not the only one who has struggles in life. God is using our struggles to teach us about ourselves and others. He is helping me get used to my new surroundings. However, I still feel homesick sometimes. After devotions I got cleaned up and ready for the day. I collected the mail before breakfast. The food at camp is amazing. The kitchen crew has really stepped up because Dave McPhee, the director of guest services, got sick a few days ago and will be gone from camp till after day camp next week. After breakfast I came into the office and talked with Jeremy and Sarah for a while. They had a staff meeting at 11:00 am. While they were in there meeting I organized some pictures on the camp hard drive and facebook page. When I was finished with that I checked e-mail and facebook. I posted my blog entry on my blog and facebook. I was unable to post it last night because the internet server was down. I chatted with some people in the office. I took a little walk part way up a trail behind the cabins. I walked for a while and then turned around and came back to camp. I then took a nap until lunch time. I was very tired it was nice to rest for a little while. I got up and went to lunch. I got caught up on what some of the staff had been up to this morning. Everyone here is very nice and friendly. After lunch I met up with Sarah and Jeremy. We planed out the afternoon. I came back to my desk and organized pictures on the hard drive and facebook page. I put too many pictures in the staff training photo album so I got rid of lots of pictures. When I finished with that Jeremy showed me how to post pictures on the Camp website. Then we went over how I am supposed to answer phones and take messages. I will start answering phones tomorrow probably. We were done for the day a little after 5:00 pm. I checked my e-mail and did some other things on the internet. I went outside and read for a little while. It was very warm and sunny today. I came back to the office and checked my e-mail. Then it was time for dinner. We all had a good time catching up with each other while we ate. The camp store was open after dinner so I was able to buy a nice cold coke. It was very good. I hung out in the lodge for a while talking with one of the girls on summer staff, her name is Julie. Her dad Jim is the director of operations here at camp. It was nice talking with her for a while. I came back to my computer for a while and played some games and checked e-mail and facebook. I went back outside and chatted with some people for a bit. I am back at my computer typing up my blog entry for today. I am heading for bed. I wonder what exciting things are in store for us tomorrow. More on that later…
