Girl's Camp: Zambia style

Hey!

I had been feeling kind of down near the end of term.  I have gone to camp since I was ten and loved it!! I love the worship and the crazy camp songs.  I love that we are getting God's salvation message out to so many kids.  I love getting to know the girls a little during the week.  I love hanging out with the counsellors until Cinderella hour.  The thought came to me that this is the first year I'm going to miss it.  When kids from Amano Christian School were here we sang some of the worship songs that we sing at JBC, and that helped, but I was still missing it. 

Then I get an email from Mrs. Poidevin saying I was welcome to join the girl's camp here in Zambia!!  There will be approximately 80 high school age girls from the surrounding area.  I was so excited to here this!  The experience will be totally different but I still get to go to camp!

We'll be sleeping under the stars enclosed in grass walls.  I'll have a mesquito net hanging from a branch for protection and an extra big sweater, sleeping bag, and an extra blanket to keep me warm! I also have to bring my own water and toilet paper!! They'll be doing things like sports, swimming and, I believe, devotionals of some kind. 

I'll let you know how it all goes! Please pray that God will bless this week coming up!! Have a great long weekend everybody!!
