Thursday at Camp

Oh boy!! the wind was just blowing a good one and it was Artillery Day. Gary made 6 (2) liter bottle launchers and we really didn't want it to be windy. However, the owner of the fields by the church had said "why don't you go to the field by the cemetery that I just mowed". And that was our answer. We had to bus the kids over there but it was just a load of fun. Everyone got wet (it felt really good on this 95 degree day) and no one got a blast of water in their eyes (Thanks for the safety glasses)......nor a bottle on their heads. Lots of fun!!!
We then went back to camp and worked on our "life bowls" and belts and then had some water balloon games. Lunch was ham and cheese on buns, baked beans, potato salad, and watermelon. Good stuff! Then on to our Bible Lesson. Once again we are able to Praise God for His Awesome Goodness. A new girl - Diondra - prayed with me to receive Christ. We gave her a Bible and talked about "growing" in her faith. She said her parents take her to a Catholic Church.
We are tired but blessed, worn out but ready to keep on going, ........ Tomorrow we will be watching the children's version of the Jesus Film. We have also asked a Lakota Lay minister from White River to speak to our group. He has been coming to camp all week and his 2 oldest sons have been playing in the band....drums and keyboard. (White River is about 30 miles north of Lakeview.) He is Pentecostal and very much on fire for the Lord.....should be an interesting day!! We are looking forward to it.
Please pray for the end of our first week.....and pray also that we don't just loaf all weekend but realize that we still have Monday and Tuesday to witness to these kids and then have a fun day of tubing on the Niobrara.
