Today was our 3rd full day of camp, and we went off-site for an adventure! We visited a local lake and spent most of the day there. For the first hour, we rented paddleboats and took them out to the middle of the lake where we swam, jumped off the boats, slid down the slides on the boats, threw frisbees, and had a grand old time. Then, we spent the rest of the afternoon playing in the water, relaxing on the private beach, and getting to know each other better. It was a great way to build and strengthen relationships, in addition to getting to cool off from the heat! Please continue to pray for our endurance in the heat, since it hit close to 105 degrees today! Many of us are sunburnt and struggling with dehydration (but all still safe, don't worry!), so your prayers are really appreciated. Please pray especially that we would still be able to reach out to the French campers, which isn't easy with how tiring the heat is.
Now we are getting ready for our large-group meeting, which was moved to tonight since our adventure took up most of the day. As I'm writing this, I'm listening to the worship team practicing songs in both French and English. The bilingual worship has been one of my favorite parts of camp, and I love getting to see so many people from different cultures praising God together.
Please keep praying for the health of our team and the campers, that relationships would continue forming and growing, that God would be working in both the hearts of the French campers and our own hearts, and that each and every camper would feel welcome and accepted here at camp.
We love you all!
Victoria
