Hi Everyone!

Just have a few quick minutes to write...youth camp starts tomorrow and there's still a ton of things to be done but we're progressing. I'm assistant to the camp director (Marion), which basically means that I'm supposed to be on top of everything and I also get to teach on "Intimacy with God" and maybe some other topics and I'm putting together the student handbook for the campers. It has taken me a couple of days to get back into the intensity of working with Marion and the usual last-minuteness of everything. The campers arrive tomorrow and there aren't enough beds in their dorms, nor do we know who will stay in which room, some of them don't have their registration forms completed, I have to go into town tonight to restock the first aid kit (it's in poor shape) ...I'm glad to be a part of this, though. Always a variety and not a dull moment.

This youth camp is going to be pretty intense, one week of "boot camp" where the day begins with exercises at 6:15 (Junior and I are in charge of that) and it's packed until lights out at 10. Those of us working with the camp will sleep in the dorms with the campers. The second week we split into 2 teams for outreach and all together it'll last 17 days.

So please pray that I will be able to communicate and connect with the youth (speaking Patois has been a challenge for me), that I will have endurance and energy and that we will all grow in the knowledge of Jesus Christ.

Thanks. Gotta go!
Em
