Not only has another week flown by,
but this month has flown by! Have I really been here nearly two months?!? It
doesn’t seem possible.
We started our new kid activity schedule
two weeks ago so weekends here are busy, busy. In between “normal” tasks Thursday
we have baby/toddler beach trip at 10, Friday is kindergarten beach trip at 1,
and Saturday is 1st-6th grade beach trip at 2. Saturday
morning we do a hike, or something physical, and then Sunday afternoon is a
special activity for the 2nd-6th graders who got good
grades. It’s great to be able to spend some one-on-one time with the kids in
smaller groups and off campus. It’s also tiring, come Sunday I was actually
hoping we didn’t go to the beach because I was “beached out.” Didn’t think I’d
ever be saying that…
Last week we also went to a high
school soccer game Tuesday and Thursday with some of the older kids. The kids’
schools team played both days and won the championship game Thursday, came down
to penalty kicks, exciting stuff.
This weekend we officially kick off
our summer of (nearly) back to back groups with some overlapping, eek! It will
definitely be getting busier for all of us.
It’s interesting to have the
experience of being a part of a group and now to have the experience of being
here long-term. So many things you don’t think about or realize as a group
member… The dynamics will be changing around here each and every week as
various groups come in. It will be interesting to say the least…
Keep our groups in your prayers
(safety, much to be accomplished, relationships with kids, each other, God);
pray for our staff as we have our usual daily tasks, hosting teams, and caring
for the kids (especially dealing with the dynamic of teams coming and going);
pray for our kids as each week they have to adjust to a new group of people
coming in and leaving.
