Analyzing Camp

Dear World,

I'm at a bit of a loss for words about camp this week. It's all made me so confused as to how the rest of these 5 weeks is going to go. There have been some pretty awesome times, followed by an equal amount of difficult and hard times, as well as irritating and frustrating times. Everyone from last year is great. Having them around, and hanging out with them all the time, just brings back some amazing memories, and in the process, we create ones that are even better. Meeting new people has been a bit of a tight spot for me because I'm in a work group with guys I already knew from last year, and I just haven't had the chance. We've had fun together though, and I wouldn't given that up. It was too priceless.

As for the new mentors. . . . . sub-par.

Don't worry. I'm totally joking. I actually like them more than I thought I would. A lot of them are very interesting, fun, and seem to be totally cool with the big man in the clouds. Yesterday, because I was totally convinced that 3 of them didn't like me, I brought them some McDonald's, and I think I hit the gold. :)

If I was asked my favorite station this week, and mentor to work with, I think it'd be a tie between Pez and Scuba. Scuba was a looot of fun, and there is something about her that is a little intriguing to me. She seems much more normal than I thought she would be after I first met her. And I loved our Bible study time with Pez. That was the only one where we talked about stuff that didn't have to do with the questions, and it was great. And we wrote the dish washing song, which is going to be legendary from now on.

My absolute favorite part about this first week. . . . was spending time with my fellow Elites from last year. There was a lot of catching up to do, and we'd had some pretty great talks. It has just been a really awesome time that I got to spend with them.

Anyways, I'm moments away from crashing, so I think I'll climb into my warm bed now. I will post more tomorrow on the stimulating topic of, 'Camp: First Week'.

In Him,
Maddie Rose
