What a crazy week this training week has been! I can't believe that I have already been gone for a week now. It seems like just yesterday. I feel like I've known my team for years. They all have become my best friends. I like to refer to my team as "The Dream Team!"
We are now in Lynchburg, VA and the weather is great here! I don't know how it is at home but it is perfect here. The camp that we are at is perched up on top of a mountain and from where we are staying, we can look off the mountain and see the town of Lynchburg. It is really cool at night because we can see all of the lights. It looks like lightning bugs flying around in the valley. The camp is really spread out and since we are on top of a mountain, everything is at the bottom of the hill, or at the top of the hill. What I am trying to say is, my legs are going to be very strong when I leave this place!
Campers come to the first session of camp on Thursday. I am very excited to get camp started but it is also very scary! During these past few days of training, I have realized that I still have a lot to do before the campers get here. That is why I have neglected my blogging. I am the main character in the opening skits and its not really that I have a lot of lines to memorize, but it is four different days of lines and I keep getting them mixed up and different things like that. Also, we do a Chinese night market where our campers get a glimpse of Chinese culture. I am a street sweeper and when campers come to me, I have to give this long speech about what I do. I am also having a hard time memorizing that. Oh yeah! How could I forget Bible studies. While memorizing all my other things that I am responsible for, I also am working on my Bible studies. I'm pretty sure that I am ready for them its just continuing to read over them that is going to make the difference. One of my goals is to completely rely on my memory for my Bible studies by the second session. Its great to see everything come together though. Although I am a little stressed out, I am really excited for campers to get here and get the sessions started.
After today, there is only one day left of training and then we have our day off before the first day of camp. There is a lot to accomplish in that time so I would appreciate prayer that everything gets done and that time is used wisely and that all kinks get worked out before Thursday. I miss all of you, and hope that you are doing well! Welp, its time to get back to work!
Until the nets are full,
Zeke
