Camp #2 Begins...

Yesterday was the start of Wadi Sports Camp 3 which is for 14-16 year olds. I have enjoyed this camp a lot. I like the schedule better and the camp is just all around better put together than the previous one. But I haven't really gotten close to any of the kids this week. There are a few that were here last week that I have continued to grow closer and closer too, but for some reason i just can't seem to develop the same kind of bond with the new campers. I have been praying hard about this and please do so for me as well. 

However, there is one thing about this camp that I absolutely LOVE! Every night we have something called a Wadi Party. For you CAA people imagine a combined assembly inside of a small venue like midtown or uptown... but instead of campers being 4 yrs-8th grade, they are 14-16 year olds. Its essentially a giant Egyptian mosh pit. They sing worship songs, have dance offs, play games, and just simply rock out. It is so much fun. I came out of there tonight drenched in sweat like I had just come out of a hardcore show. 

The reason I think i like the Wadi Parties the most is that it is closest thing I have had to song worship in the last two weeks. I was struggling with not having something like that the first week and a half... so i have just kind of released during these Wadi Parties and it is awesome!

Also, I have been joined by a new team. This team is from Lake Point church outside of Dallas, Texas. They are all great and have welcomed me with open arms. I do miss the Orlando team, but the Dallas team has jumped right in and made the transition seamlessly. 

So one more day of camp, and then i will begin my trip home. It has been a great two weeks. I am ready to be home, but at the same time I will look over my shoulder as I leave. I have made some great friends and formed some amazing relationships. I wouldn't trade this trip for anything right now. 

Good Night.
