Hi there,
I apologize for not writing for a couple days. I had no free time the last few days of camp. I have had my fill of dealing with little girl drama! One of the girls in my cabin freaked out because she messed up her nail polish. I mean that she literally could not function. And then I had the pleasure of dealing with cliques and silly arguments, but it was worth all the drama. On Thursday night, the Gospel message was preached. I had the opportunity to pray with two girls who wanted to accept Jesus, and one of the other girls in my cabin accepted Him too!! During service, the pastor called all of the leaders to stand in the aisles. If a girl wanted to talk or pray with one of us, then she stood and we walked outside to pray and chat. I was so nervous; I had never led anyone to Christ. I prayed in the aisle and then two girls approached me. So I took them outside and we sat under the flagpole. I asked them a few questions then asked if they wanted to pray. I know that the words spoken were not my own. I had no idea what I was doing, but my Jesus did. He is now their Jesus too. Many other decisions were made that night. I am so glad I was able to be a part of it all.
The next day parents came and the girls performed what they learned over the week. I taught "God of this City" by Chris Tomlin to my sign language class. They did great, and I was proud of them. Then we had to say goodbye. It was not very difficult to say bye to my girls (that probably sounds mean), but it was very difficult to say bye to all of the other leaders. They became such good friends and I pray that we stay in touch.
For the next few days, we are helping prepare for a 4th of July celebration at a church in Delaware. The church pastor is hosting a barbecue tonight (and I think it might be a BBQ for us, but I'm not sure). We get to relax today, and I'm so excited!
If anyone has a question or would just like to contact me personally, my email address is screamingmime139@yahoo.com. I would love to hear from you!!
