Turn Around, Turn Around

Wow! Yesterday sure turned around in a hurry! Me and the girls had a great time together after lunch during free time.  We decided that we were going to go creek stomping (a creek walk). .  Just a tip, always make sure your campers go to the bathroom before such trips.  It completely slipped my mind, and once we were in the water, 6 of my 8 girls said they needed to go.  The poor guy counselor in charge of creek stomping was so mortified! His face was priceless, and I still feel the urge to laugh here the next day every time I see him.  But we had a lot of fun splashing each other and chasing tadpoles.  The counselor even caught a really big crawdad, and the girls were facinated, but still didn't want to touch it!

I'm in charge, sort of, with the two craft instruction hours that follow the free time.  Logan and his friend Wilson are in that, and we had fun too.  A friend of Camie's is in the craft room with me, and she is a genius.  We have a ton of old t-shirts from past summers, and I now know how to make bags, headbands, vests, and hanging vests all? from t-shirts!! I'm so excited! No more 7 dollar headbands from Wal-Mart for me! Just give me a t-shirt sleeve! She promised to show me more amazing stuff throughout the week.  

I don't have a lot of time left of my hour off.  I spent part of it setting up my college class I'm taking though June and July through Ellsworth.  It shouldn't be too bad, though a few people have already told me I'm crazy for doing it.  Camp outs are tonight, and my cabin will be paired with one other for the meal.  I hope I get to light the fire! I find it extremely entertaining.  Once I even had a one match fire, and I speak of that with much pride!  

My homesick camper had another small episode last night, and I had another join her a while later.  As soon as they wake up they're all fine and dandy and ready to have fun, but the nights is when the tears start flowing.  At least I know my girls come from loving families.  Prayers would be extremely welcome, since the incidents almost always overlap the half hour I get to have devotions with them, and those are very important.  

It's been a great turn around from the first night, and thank you for the prayers!
