Friday @ Camp

After my all-nighter landed me at breakfast, I slept for an hour and a half before the camp's final service. Then it was lunch time and people headed home. I was one of the last one's to leave. After saying goodbye to Aaron and his dad, I cleaned out my room and loaded the car. We left around 1:20. We stopped to play mini-golf on the way home. Then I returned the two teens I was transporting to their homes and my sister and I pulled into our own driveway right at 5pm. Here are some random recaps

Great camp attendance for our church once again
Great sermons and studies from pastor symonds
Great ping pong action, I ended on a hot streak
I ended up with only 32 glasses of chocolate milk
I provoked a crazy few hours of joking about cows
I lost 10 years of maturity and had 7 dumb crushes
I had 1 un-dumb interest
I kept the 1 all nighter tradition alive

God spoke one key message to me throughout the week:
Faith isn't trusting God to _____
Faith is trusting God

Thursday @ Camp

Well, it's Friday morning. I just pulled my traditional Family Camp all-nighter. Let me see if I can remember yesterday. I made it to breakfast again. John's morning Bible study was good. I slept a good portion of the afternoon. At supper I tried to finish 5 glasses of chocolate milk. Bad idea. But I did manage to make it to evening rally which was very good.

I didn't lose in ping pong today at all (except for 1 game left handed)

At night we played a lot of card games. It was hilarious to watch each person fall asleep in the lounge one by one and start saying crazy stuff. In the end, only 2 were left. Us being the last two is also somewhat of a tradition, a tradition I enjoy very much.

So it's breakfast time. I don't think I will be able to break the chocolate milk record though. I actually don't want to see chocolate milk anytime soon. When I get home I'll post a final camp post and then I'll do the July blogger awards.

Wednesday @ Camp

I made it to breakfast again. I had French Toast, scrambled eggs & sausage. My current chocolate milk count is 22 glasses. I'm trying to break my previous record of 36 from last year. I played a ton of ping pong today. I can't remember all the scores. I won more than I lost, but I couldn't beat Nate today.

After supper Aaron started watching 'The gods must be crazy' and we both fell asleep and missed the 1st part of the evening rally. I would have felt bad, but I read all those Beulah recaps and you guys hardly ever go to service :)

Tuesday @ Camp

I missed breakfast today. Bummer. I woke up around 8:30. My sister and the crew wanted me to play non-table-tennis. We decided to do a double elimination tournament, but we didn't have enough time to eliminate anyone today. Here were the results:

Matthew 6 Lauren 0
Nate 6 Phil 2
Lauren 6 Brandon 4

After that I went to John's Bible study on being still before God. Then lunch. Then I was locked out of my room all afternoon because Aaron and his dad went driving and I had left my key in my tennis shorts. But I played some ping pong and took my adorable niece for a walk in the crick. Here are the ping pong results:

Lost to Nate 21-17
Lost to Nate 21-17
Defeated Nate 21-18

If you've noticed, my side of the score has improved every time against Nate, so now I consider myself the king of things in these parts. The everning service was moved to the cafeteria because it's like 100 degrees out and the sanctuary isn't air-conditioned. It was about moving outside our comfort zone. Kinda ironic. Then we played some more table tennis. I defeated Aaron & Phil a couple times each and lost to a stranger named Tim. But strangers don't count. So I've really only lost to Nate.

Monday @ Camp

Surprisingly, I made it to breakfast today! Breakfast foods are so delicious, but I rarely get to enjoy them. I bought a new Bible after breakfast. It has very wide margins on each side. I'm going to use it for my sermon outlines. John's morning seminar was about doubt. Lunch was too soon.

In the afternoon I watched some remote control car racing. That was cool. Then I sat in the air conditioned building with Amanda (she demands to be mentioned) for a couple hours till supper. After supper I waited till service which was also good. Then I chatted a bit with some BBC friends before some ping pong. Here are my matches.

Defeated Phil 21-9
Defeated brother-in-law Derek 21-12
Lost to Nate 21-9
Lost to Nate 21-10
Defeated Aaron's dad 21-11
Lost to Nate 21-12
Defeated Aaron 21-17
