August

I know, it's August, but seriously, I didn't have to wear a sweatshirt out of the house this morning and it is warm enough that we let the girls (Ruth and Mayne) go swimming this afternoon. Ruth was a little fish in the water, Mayne took a little while to warm up to it but lived it after a bit. I don't blame her though, the water was pretty cold!

One of my jobs has been taking pictures for an end-of-the-week slide show, and it's great fun getting the pictures of kids completely enjoying themselves. I am finishing up the staff slide show, then both main roles of mine (pictures and camp nurse) finished. We are finished with the kids camps, so now we have a few weeks of Awana camps, church camps, and a family camp. We are not as involved in these camps, we don't do counseling or teaching, but we run some activity areas such as climbing wall, zipline, and canoeing. Josh's role as mentor of the high school program leaders has wrapped up, but his facilities management role continues, and I will probably be helping him on some projects. I will also be continuing to develop the camp's Health Center and other policy writing.

We are beginning to pursue some jobs and housing as our time here is ending in a few weeks. We appreciate prayer as we jump in to the next leg of this journey!
