I can't believe it's been a whole week since my last post! But then I can because the last four days have been busy.

I have some photos to post from the last half of the week. But until then:
Marilyn (who was upset about coming to camp because she didn't know anyone) is currently missing camp to fullest. Ironic.
All five girls made decisions to become more like Christ in the area of respecting their parents and not being judgemental. Having the attitude of Christ was an ongoing theme throughout huddle times, after teaching discussions & cabin devos. They were a difficult bunch because 3 of the 5 stuck strictly to social standards talk as little as possible about God & spiritual matters, but it made a good opportunity for Farrah to take leadership and make a path with or without her usual posse. The youngest of the group, and one of the least spiritually interested, Amber, also broke from the group for good reasons in the end of the week. She decided not to sit with the other girls on the bus home because they were going to be hanging out with the boys ... a big deal in 7th grade! It was a pleasant surprise!

As for this week -
I got campers Sunday evening, before staff even moved our gear to new assignments! They were 2 hours early! Then Monday morning we had 2 more girls added to our group and we all had to move across the camp to a new building so that there would be room for us all. They are middle school girls from 11 - 14. The maturity difference is certainly there. 8 are from one church, 3 from another. So far there is not a divisive spirit!

We're on the Mango team and our name is:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M O MANGO!

The total number of campers this week is down by 100ish so its more intimate and the meal lines are shorter - but theres also less excitement with less people - please pray for our spirits! It is easy to get tired and lazy with few campers.
