rain, rain, go away...

Today was a FULL day.  Mondays we always have meetings at the office, and today was no exception.  We have WyldLife camp this weekend (the middle school version of Young Life) and so today’s meeting was jam-packed with details and prep for camp!

I will be taking a couple high schoolers with me and will be acting as a Work Crew boss.   We will be serving the campers by helping with food prep, setting tables, doing dishes, cleaning, running music and supplies for Club...it’s going to be busy but it’s going to be so great!!  Excited to spend a whole weekend with a hand full of high school friends, serving alongside them!

A few prayer requests for camp:

• Protection and safety.  We will be traveling in buses 2 hours outside the city to and from camp.  We also have some kids with some pretty serious health issues/food allergies.
• For our speaker Rich Ward.  That Christ would give him words that would resonate with these campers and Work Crew kids.
• For our leaders.  For deep sleep and rest these final days leading up to camp.  Specifically for Jason and Bradyn who will be leading cabins AND doing program.
• For FUN and energy and adventure at camp!  That kid’s see and experience the Gospel this weekend!

And a Monday wouldn’t be complete without a trek back across town in the pouring rain (the YL office is on the opposite side of San Jose from my house).  We equate the mile walk from one side of Avenida Central to the other as a game of Umbrella Frogger.  You are constantly punching air, moving your umbrella up, over, to the side, between light posts, trying not to hit the other hundreds of people on the street with their own 5-foot-umbrella radius around them.  Lucky for us...rainy season is almost over!!
