Well first I want to apologize for taking so long to update this blog! Things have been a little busy, and now that I've gotten behind, it's going to take a long time to catch up... Our summer family camp has come and gone :( , it's sad but true. I think that the camp went really well! We had a great facility, great teaching, and great fellowship! There were 120 people at the camp this year, which is about 5 more than last year. One of our problems however, was that we didn't have 120 beds at this facility. That meant that some people were tent camping outside in the field area, and I was one of those people. Yep, I slept in a tent with two teenage guys during the camp. It was fun, and we had a great time! The tent belonged to Jūstas Sāuka, and Chris Bolyard from the US also stayed with us... Anyway, pictured above are some of the youth and I doing a skit on the first night, which was during the Jāni celebration. I also sang and played my guitar during the celebration, which was a tradition started last year. I played and sang one song solo, but I also played a song by Metallica called ''Nothing Else Matters'' which Jūstas sang to. After that, it was time for our annual ''Night Trek". The Night Trek was fun, but it was too long for me! It lasted until 4:00 in the morning on Thursday! Remember that Wednesday was the first day of camp, this is why I decided to walk back to camp around 1:45 am, and some of the youth followed. Anyway, that's the main stuff for Wednesday... Čau!

Sounds like a terrific camp. I also have to say the facilities do look fantastic...much better than last year! Of course, last year, you slept in a bed, so maybe you'd disagree!

ReplyDeleteHey Caleb! Sorry we didn't get to say goodbye at the camp. It was great getting to know you - you are doing an awesome job with the youth! I'm going to try my best to stay in touch with Gabriela and hope to start a blog study with her and a few other girls I've gotten to know on various mission trips and at home. Blessings to you and your ministry there! - Susan B.
