Last week at Connection point I continued to assist at Phones-for-You in the evening. In the mornings I worked at home doing computing things for Doug Bender (putting together spreadsheets, internet price comparison, label printing, etc)

This week I am at Walkersville BIC. Monday and Tuesday night I joined the Walkersville staff in assisting with Connection Point’s phones for you. In the mornings I have shadowed the associate pastor Richard while he worked on the youth newsletter, worship preparation, sermon preparation, youth group shopping, filming for an illustration, etc, and I have spent time organizing their library.

Today I helped set up for Connection Point’s Phones-for-You campaign. I then spent two hours making 59 phone calls. The phone calls went easier than I expected, but I still found myself taking controlled breaths while waiting for someone to answer.

One thing that has hit me the hardest this week is the brokenness of the camper’s families. I can’t even begin to relate to what they’re going through: fatherlessness, physical abuse, having to choose which parent to live with.

Today was a day filled with different fun things (including a nap) after the evening Bible lesson I was able to talk to and pray with two of my campers about areas in their life that they want to take further with God.

Tonight I arrived late at CRC. So far my cabin looks like it is going to be a lot of fun. Arthur is the Sr. Counselor. I’ve been able to befriend several campers already.
