Prairie Light Youth Camp - Day 3 and 4

 On Wednesday we had the kids color tee-shirts.  We found out there are some REALLY artistic kids out there....and the shirts were grand.   We had the design drawn on the shirts and they went from there.

 We got to sit inside in the air conditioned school room.   That was wonderful.....105-106 degrees on Wednesday. 

 Today we had the kids make a "Footprints" plaque.  I'm sure you all know what the poem says.   It went along with our lesson on Joseph very well.  There again.....I showed the kids what mine looked like....they asked if they could have markers and add some other designs to them.....  Really neat!!

The activity ( plaque) didn't take a lot of time so we got to play a LOT of games today.....and does it surprise you that we played with water balloons and wet shirts and more water balloons.  The kids loved it!!!  And we had fun too.

It's been good getting to know these kids.....seems like camp should still be 2 weeks so we could REALLY get close to these kids.  But that's not to be.

We thank God for the 1/2 inch of rain that we received late this afternoon.  We had gone to a cabin on the Niobrara River for a fun time in the water.   As we were about ready to end the day and go to Valentine for pizza --- we could see dark clouds to the north.  It seems that it was just a nice rain and no bad things - like hail or strong winds.   So - Thank you Lord!

Tomorrow we will have our Bible Lesson first --- then lunch ---- then we will ALL go swimming at the Valentine Pool.  I am told that busing has been a BIG headache this year - all because of the one van breaking down.  However, safety has been good and we pray for that for tomorrow - at the pool and on the roads. 

Thanks again for all the prayers!!!
