Moose Deer '08 | Day THREE Report

Written by team member Jordan Turner today:
Day 3: Off to another early start, which everyone seems to be getting used to. It was an amazing breakfast to start the day – pancakes and sausages!!! When it seemed like we were going to be late for camp, our drivers got everyone into the cars and off to camp with plenty of time to set up and get the kids.

The kids were starting to show their true colors today by bonding with their leaders and also by showing how much of a handful they can be. After a great wide game (“Capture the Baby Moses” – a twist on Capture the Flag!), the kids enjoyed making “burning bush” pin wheels and played “stones” in sports, with some of the kids playing another Bump marathon.

With the weather being overcast and cool today it made swimming with kids hard so, while some of us braved the water, others used the time to talk with them. After dinner, a few of us went to the local church meeting, where we met some of people that go to the church and Bill Halll got to talk about Jonah. The rest of the group had a fishing marathon, and then we all finished the evening with discussion and games.

All and all an amazing day.

Please pray …
- For our baseball game in the community tomorrow (Thursday) night – please pray
that some of the older members of the community would join us for this event
- For the community as a whole
- For the church congregation on the reserve … they have a faithful group of about 7 people!
- For energy and health for our team members
- That we would give all of ourselves to these kids for the remainder of the week – that we would be wholehearted and gentle with them
- That there would be less distinction between people living on the two sides of the reserve … that the kids would be able to enjoy and value each other
- That we would love these kids as God loves them

We praise God for …
- The unity we have experienced as a team
- The fact that one of the older boys we mentioned yesterday did come to camp for the first time today and was fairly well behaved
