Hey friends and families! It’s our last full day here, and what an amazing week it has been! The majority of our kids are going to do the High Adventure ropes course a little later today… I think I’ll use the time to take a short nap; Oliver and I had a long day yesterday. Oliver’s eye got a pretty serious scratch on Wednesday evening, and we had to drive down to the hospital in Fresno yesterday to get him some medical attention. After 3 ½ hours in the ER (mostly spent waiting around for different doctors to show up), we were released into the waiting room, but unfortunately the injury was serious enough that Oliver couldn’t return back to camp. He’s back in Walnut Creek now, and will need to spend a full week in bed recovering. The pain has pretty much subsided and he’s doing a lot better now, but he’d definitely appreciate your prayers for a quick and full recovery; it was a pretty scary experience.
We (the counselors) have had the opportunity to meet with each camper individually by now, and it’s been awesome to get to know these guys, discuss the more important matters of life with them, and pray together. Small groups have been going well too, especially now as everyone is growing closer together and feeling more comfortable and trusting of each other. Our small group has had two of our night small group meetings outside, and have been blessed by amazing displays of God’s glory. There’s not much light pollution up here, so the stars shine with amazing clarity, plus there’s been a meteor shower this week, so the view at night is truly breathtaking.
Your prayers, letters, and e-mails have really been appreciated, and it’d be great if you would be praying for all the kids as they transition back into school in the coming few weeks, that they will uphold the commitments they’ve made, and continue to be as excited about their relationships with the Lord as they have been this week. See you soon!
Love,
Jay
