We are in Blakely at Kolomoki Methodist Camp. It's is in the absolute middle of nowhere annnnd we will proudly say we got lost trying to find it. only slightly though.
Everyone, thing, object speaks in a thick country accent and I even heard from a boy the " This one time when I liked my cousin....." I'm sure there will be many more of those to come.
So far we've had to find a ridiculous amount of things to occupy 100-ish kids..ages 5-15. not the easiest thing but definitely fun. a lot of running. playing tag. and listening to 10 year girls talk about how hot they think kyle is (one of our leaders who is playing/singing for worship). We hope their little crush will help engage them more when it's time to sing for Jesus and they will get something out of it! ha.
We did have time to hang out with just the older counselors and they are pretty great. a lot of music talk. one then dared me to eat 8 s'mores..she had no idea that 8 is a typical number of any kind of dessert in my life and soooo of course i won that little game.
So yes. the team is definitely exhausted but excited about this week. we LOVE the kids here and yeah, please just pray for endurance for us. we could use as much energy as God can give us. We also just want to be able to connect to all of the different ages we have here. it's a big range and wisdom on what to speak on that will reach each kid personally is something we are asking for.
