Our first work day was quite a hit!
Today I woke up at about 7:15 got a quick shower and then started making breakfast for the campers. We had two ovens so we got one going and started cooking then started on the other one. Well...it was a lot hotter than the first, so we ended up burning a few french toast sticks, but not too many so it wasn't a big deal. We did set off the smoke alarm though so we had to take it a=off the wall and take the batteries out....Stacy had to go to the grocery store again, so she wasn't around to help us figure everything out. I'm proud to say nothing TOO major happened and we served breakfast on time! Then we split our groups up into three and had them doing little tasks. Sarah's group made sandwiches for everyone's lunch, Sofia's group put away the breakfast dishes, and my group cleaned the bathrooms. I'm pretty sure they were all a little upset when they found out what they had to do. I felt bad a bit for them, but someone has to do it!! It only took about fifteen minutes then we broke into different groups to start on our real jobs for the day! I was in charge of the prayer table today which was quite exciting! I did a devotional with my group then we hit the streets!! When we started everyone was a bit apprehensive so I started off the process and after a couple of people allowing us to pray with them a few just telling us prayer request and one very rude remark they were all very excited and stepped out on their on to ask and pray with others. I was so excited they all got comfortable and I wold say it is safe to say we prayed with over thirty people today!! We got relief about one to eat lunch so we ate lunch for about an hour then and free time for about an hour. We then set up kidz klub and as kids started coming in I ran to the grocery store for some things for tomorrow. (Yes I did run away from the kids....) Right as I was getting back from the grocery store it was time to start working on preparing dinner. We made dinner and served it at six then it was free time until worship at eight. Sofia's talked about prayer tonight and it was great! She was super nervous and even cried several times before worship, but when she finally got up there she did a wonderful job!! Everyone told her how great it was! I only hope tomorrow I can do as great of a job. Everyone remember to pray for me at eight eastern time!! I'm not nervous yet, but I am sure I will be tomorrow! Okay so I swear I have pictures, but I have to wake up at 6:30 tomorrow so I'm headed to bed! When I get a free moment (maybe not until this weekend....) I will post this week's pictures! I love you all! Remember to "Pray as you go!"
