Dear World,
Unfortunately, I had to babysit wednesday night, so I never got around to writing another post. I'll do that now. I remember, I had something in my head that I was gonna wright about, but I kinda forget. Wait a second, I'll try to remember it... la de do do, do da da do... Oh ya.
So, wednesday I had Lower Camp, with one my awesome mentors, L4D, and when we were down there all the ELITEs decided to go on water toys. Like, the floating trampoline in the water and the huge inflatable that people jump off of. Wednesday was my first day back in the water after I hurt my back. I wasn't scared or nervous or anything. It was just fun! I was just having a crap load of fun with these people I'd only known for a couple weeks. But, in a deeper way, I'd really known them much longer. Not only the mentors, but the ELITEs also. There was a close bonding that was going on those couple of weeks. In a way, we'd already been aware of one another. It was just a matter of getting to know, love, and bond with each other. We're sisters and brothers in Christ. We'll never be completely apart from one another.
Saying goodbye to people today was not an easy thing. There's a possibility I may never see them again in my life. They have grown me and helped me in my faith. It was actually the ELITEs more so then it was the mentors. (though the mentors were absolutely fantastic and I'll never forget them!) The mentors can preach to you, and talk to you about God, and be your mentor to some extent. But it's the people that you hang around with, that you grow close to and you open yourself up to that have an impact on your life. They mold, and shape you, and the ELITEs, (especially the PITs and JCs) were so amazing in being there for me these past 3 weeks. I'll never forget them and how willing they were to be there for me when I needed someone.
Love SAMBICA forever,
Maddie
