Moose Deer Point, Day 2 | More Bugs… but a Blessed day for sure!!!

PICTURES HERE. Day 2: It was another early start, up for breakfast at 6:45 – Camp kicked off at 9:30 with the addition of a few new young faces. Despite forecasted showers, it was a day of sunshine. God has definitely been in control of the weather this week. PTL!

We had several exciting events that the kids really enjoyed today; a giant 4 way Tug of War contest, a razzing display of water balloon toss, and an exciting, hour long, “Bump” marathon at the basketball court. We also performed our 2nd skit, sang songs with the kids, and had an enthralling bible teaching on the topic of giving your burdens to Jesus.

More relationships were built today, as the counselors got to know the kids better and the kids warmed up to the councilors. We praise the Lord for every opportunity to build into these kids,

On the negative side, Becki Lee unfortunately had to leave the group tonight (don’t worry, it was planned)! She is heading off to Edmonton where she is starting the next portion of her journey with Athletes in Action at U of A. Her enthusiasm and skill with the camp kids will be greatly missed, as well as her spiritual leadership and, of course, her laughter. Sadie, one of the 8 year olds at the camp, gave Becki a present today because she knew it was her last day. (awwwwww) We all, and Becki, thought that was pretty awesome.


Prayer Requests:
- Kids behavior tomorrow, as a few of the more difficult older boys are expected to attend tomorrow that didn’t today.
- Becki as she transitions: Prayer for comfort as she misses our group and the camp, the smooth transition to her new life out West, and protection from any spiritual attacks after a very spiritually moving few days.
- Continued protection from spiritual attack
- Get rid of those bugs!

Praise:
- Kids behavior today
- Beautiful weather
- Kids have been very attentive and focused during the bible teachings so far, a big surprise for sure!
