Camp Blessing I'd Call It

Hi all!!

Obviously, my updates during VBS week did not exist.
It was the best week of the year (so far) for me. Coming into camp, I knew it would be wonderful, but what I did not know was that it would serve as such a blessing to me! Monday I got there early, after having a bad nights sleep and got a few things together. Looking at the class list, I quickly told Diana that oh boy, we have such "bad" boys in our class. Boy was I wrong. Diana and I had such a great week with our students. We ended the week says, boy do we have the BEST kids in our class. Anyway, by Friday I was so exhausted. During the week I got little sleep every night, and I would wake up in the middle of the week thinking about having to do something for camp, etc. But I didn't want it to end. I loved out students. I mean LOVED them.
A silly thing Diana and I did was make cards for each of the kids with a personal message, with two photos, and a bookmark. We played music as each child came up hugged us and took their card. It was cute though. Someone came in and said, "what is this, a graduating ceremony" lol. But most of all, I loved that so many kids were saved!!! Then some students and staff went into a classroom to pray, and I myself was crying so hard. I couldn't stop the tears. I saw the "cool" kids from my class praying, and receiving the Holy Spirit. God blessed me so much to have had the opportunity to be a part of this camp.
Also the boys left to NC and Louisiana Monday, taking the camera, and I didn't upload any camp pics so I have none to share! For the next week, whatever pics will be shared will be from my phone camera!
Blessings,
Lesya
