So the first week was pretty awesome and I had a Bible study of just 8 people. That just seems pretty much unreal to me now as I consider it. The first week only had about 200 students and while that may seem somewhat large, it's not even close. It was pretty cool the first week because I felt like I knew every student at camp and so it was neat to go around and know everyone. I honestly can't say that that will happen again this summer considering how many students we are having week to week. My week one group was pretty excited to be at camp and it was cool to see the relationships formed in our group in just that very short time. That first week I did not get to teach my Guy's Track or apologetics tracks because no one signed up for them but it was cool because the first week I got to help with Basketball and Handball, which is pretty much amazing. Handball is like a mix between ultimate frisbee, soccer, and a bunch of other sports. Anyway, week one ended successfully and I shipped those students off with a tear.
The second week was equally awesome except for the fact that the second week is when I began to come down with that nasty cold. My group second week was very enthusiastic and I had 15 college students from the same church. It was crazy because I went from 8 students to 36 students in my Bible Study! I could not believe the difference but it helped to have a group that was very excited and self motivated because I just did not have the energy to do it on my own. After I started to take the Mucinex I began to feel better and by the end of the week I got to be excited and loud with my students. The second week I ended up having 40 students in my apologetics class and 17 in my Guy's Track. The apologetics classes went extremely well and it was cool because at the end of the week the guys track met with the girls track and asked them questions. Week two was interesting but the thing that stinks is that I didn't feel like I knew nearly as many people.
Week three has just begun and it's cool because I can say that I know every one of my students' names. My Bible study is really cool and I am looking forward to getting to know these students better but it's hard to keep myself from getting tired of the same repetitive Bible lessons and track outlines. It is cool because I have been getting things revealed to me on a weekly basis. I have been super encouraged in reading the book of Galatians. Galatians is by far my favorite book and I have an awesome verse to share with all of my devoted readers.
In Galatians 4:9 which says, "But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how can you turn back again to the weak and worthless elementary principles of the world, whose slaves you want to be once more?" I found this passage quite cool because it talks about how we have come to be known by God. God knows who each and every one of us is by name. We have come to know God but even more to be know by God our creator. This verse stood out to me in a new way that I had never experienced before and I wanted to share that with ya'll. Please pray for the team and their sickness and thanks for reading once again. I am sorry if this seemed rushed or all over the place but here ya go! I don't know when the next one will come but happy readings and happy trails.
