Camp!

Well, I have had a great week. Last Monday I went to church camp and I had a great time. The one problem with camp however is that the ground is mostly dust and I have seasonal allergies and the dust was not good for me. Other then that I had a blast. I didn't even get a sunburn and that is an incredible feat for me to achieve. But I think that my favorite part (besides getting a week with new people to talk to) was evening worship. I loved the speaker and the worship was very serious and meaningful to me. Every day there is a clean cabin award, one for the boys and one for the girls. Each cabin cleans everything up and tries to get the cleanest cabin out of all the cabins. Well, sometimes there is a messy cabin award but this year the directors weren't planning to have one. Our cabin didn't know that and so on Wednesday everyone but me and the counselor and one other person were trying to get the messy award and so they put leaves all over and threw clothes on the floor and in the rafters and messed up their bunkes. Well, the councilors thought that that was a bad idea so they gave our cabin (with the exception of us who kept ourselves clean and organized) the job of cleaning up after the meals for the rest of the day. Well, after that they decided that the messy award wasn't any fun so we got our act together a won the clean award on Friday, the last possible day. Friday evening one of the girls in the pink cabin (not my cabin) had left wet clothes out and open food on her bed and so guess what happened, she found a scorpion in her bed. Well, of all sixty nine kids there, she was the one person that didn't need one in her bed. When she found out about it she screamed for about ten minutes then she finely left and wouldn't sleep in the cabin so she moved to the air conditioned cabin (our cabins were only screened in at the top) and slept there. If she had to sleep in her bed I think she would have passed out from sheer fright! Amazingly everyone got over it rather quickly and she was the only one who moved. In addition to finding a scorpion, people found snakes all over the place. They must have killed about five or six while we were there and there were some that didn't get killed. I kept on looking for a snake but I never saw one. Darn. Well, I need to go now, I've been on for longer then I should have. So until later, goodbye!
