Things are going great here! It's extremely exhausting but so rewarding. The kids surprise me more and more everyday with who they are and how they aren't afraid to open up and let down walls. I'm being taught so much from them!
I have campers this week who want to run everyday, so that's been a big blessing to have people to run with! We've been on routine to wake up at 6:10 am and leave by 6:20. Today I wanted to go a little further so I woke up at 5:30 to get started and then came by to pick up the campers. It's been extraordinary to wake up every morning with them. They appreciate the cool morning air and the beautiful scenery that we get to wake up to and experience the quiet serenity of the morning. I could do this everyday - I will do this everyday.
Week one of campers have left, leaving a huge impact of me and my program. Now we're mid-way through week 2 and moving fast. I know in 6 weeks I'm going to be blown away at how fast it ran away from me. It's still hard to believe we're already on week 2.... I need to remember to hold on to what I have because I know some days I just want the day to be done, but by the end I'm going to wish I that extra time. I'm excited to see the program grow and these kids grow. It's going to fly.
Next week the church I grew up in is heading here! Westminster! So excited to pour into those kids!
Anyway, I need to go bring cookies the campers at their work sites!
How exciting, Heather - what an amazing experience for you!
