Dance Party

Yesterday was a good day. For internal community service in the morning, I was working with Josh to get things together for the harvest carnival coming up in a couple weeks. The harvest carnival is where a bunch of kids from each camp come and each camp runs different carnival games which are spaced out in a big game. So yesterday I went with Josh to Wal-Mart and the dollar store to pick up things we need, like streamers, face paint, jars to put goldfish in, etc. Pretty fun for "community service". I even got to pick up a washing-up basin for our kitchen sink (even tho everyone was like 'why the heck is there a bucket in our sink??'). And for lunch Charlotte and I made my Rachel Allen recipe- pasta with spicy sausage and cream. mmm. That's always a winner right there.

Camp went really well too. What DID suck tho, was that it was FREEZING in the building (as well as outside, since it was pouring rain). I think rainy days are prone to have kids bouncing off the walls, but we were able to get the kids energy out by having a dance party at opening program. We started with individual competitions. I went up against Choppy, one of the boys (who actually lives in the house next door to me), as "worst dancer". Sadly, I didn't win, but I still think I was worse. There were lots of other dance battles, and you can see some pretty sweet dance moves by the leaders on my facebook. Soon, all of the kids were up and dancing and going crazy. By far, the best thing was Michael doing two backflips in a row :



We also have an intern class every Thursday night. This week we had the StreetLeader director, Dana, come and give us personality tests and tell us about what each thing means. I found out that I am an I.N.F.P. Than means introvert, intuitive, feeling, and perceiving. You can ask me what that means if you're interested. But the description it gave seemed pretty accurate. It was interesting to see where everyone else fit as well. I'm not really a fan of those types of test ("there's no right answer..." etc), but it is surprising how insightful it is into why you behave a particular way.

So now it's the weekend, which is always exciting. No camp on Fridays, so they're usually pretty relaxed. Hopefully we'll still be able to hang out with some kids this afternoon, though. And I might go with some of my kids and leaders to a youth group they go to on Saturday nights, which should be fun. I hope everyone has a good weekend. I want know know what fun things people do- I miss you all and want to hear about your lives too!! So keep me updated :)
