Thursday prayer requests

Today is zoo day with the campers. Our students are excited but very tired. Please continue to pray for them. Today is a physically exhausting day. Three hours at the zoo chaperoning children is also mentally exhausting. Also, pray for tomorrow's carnival from 12-2pm. Our students will be responsible for all carnival booths. All students are well and vibrant. Some are a little sleep deprived and tired but other than that we are all great. Pray for physical strength, extra energy, patience for the last two days. Thank you ahead of time for your prayers.

Trust Game

After dinner we had a time of "unity" building. Students started out in their teams working with a hula hoop. I don't know the name of this game, but if you are a Type A personality like myself, this game makes you nuts. The object is to lift the hula hoop up and down as a group. Each person can only touch the hula hoop with one finger. Loads of fun. The second game they played was a whirlwind game. One student stood in the center of the circle an let the others move them around in a circle as they fell back on their hands. The last game was the trust fall. Rocky and Chris attempted this first. Did you know we have some really STRONG students? Ha! They had a great time, but most of all they are learning to trust each other.

Happy Birthday Ryan and Alex!

Yesterday Alex Smith celebrated her 18th birthday and today Ryan Durban celebrated his 18th birthday. So, tonight we celebrated both birthdays. We had a little cake for them.

Wednesday - June 20

Wednesday is officially over. I am so proud of our students. They continue to serve and shine doing it. They have such a servant's heart. I was most impressed with Jadi today. All three students taught today during Bible time, but if you know Jadi you know that she tends to be on the shy side. NOT TODAY! It was like watching another person...I was seeing Jesus through her. Incredible! Our students ROCK!

Today's slide show...loving God, loving people, loving life!

Video of the Day

Today in the gym each team was numbered. When your number was called you had to run and pick up a swim noodle and try to be the first to hit the beach ball on your assigned wall of the gym.

My favorite video today was Susan playing one of the children. They were too funny. What great fun they had today.
