Youth Camp
Youth Camp
Don and I had a great time at the Youth Camp. We really didn’t know if there was anything to do except carry things for camp and the people from San Lazaro and August Pine Ridge. But we shouldn’t have worried. There is always work to be done in Gods Kingdom. The Youth Camp attendance was down this year. They couldn’t get the Kings College for the same date. That made Youth camp earlier some of the children weren’t out of school. Also some of the teachers were gone, couldn’t get off their jobs or at workshops for the ending of school. But sometimes the smaller camps are the most Spirit filled. And that was so this week. Don ended up preaching except for Spanish night. There were about 12 decisions made at the camp. on Thursday night . Wednesday Bro. Victor preached and did a great job the Guiana Grass group came up and their band played it was a good night. The Spanish songs were mostly sung that night all the night services were attended well and the music was very good. Sand Hill has a great group. . Don will baptize those from August Pine Ridge on Sunday if the rain doesn’t get in the way. I was asked to help Osman with the teen class. He did the teaching I only helped. But I had a great time. We carried a van full of people and Don carried the truck to get supplies for the camp.
There were games and good classes. I enjoyed the Iguana look alike contest. Everyone had a great time with that. They divided up into three teams and dressed up the smallest child to look like an Iguana. The best would win. Those poor children!! But what a good time they had. I was asked to be judge of the contest but everyone got into the act. I am glad about that. I hate deciding such things it was too hard to choose. Everyone worked hard. Claudio worked hard to get things together. . I think his favorite time was the water fight. Claudio and Osman did a great job of working with the Youth. Don and myself have always enjoyed the youth and we did this year. They all treated us with great love and respect. They were such a great pleasure to know. The singing was good Alice taught us some new songs. Georgia was like one of the youth. We all had a great time. Together. It was a good week and lives were changed.
I was surprised with a Birthday cake on Friday. It was pink and full of sparkles along with candles. They all sang Happy Birthday to me. Thanks to Meralla, Angie, and Heidy for all the good meals. They did a super job. They ask to hand out the diplomas. It was a great pleasure. It was a good week.
