Camp

Camp was an awesome experience. I had a blast. The camp was for the entire church and it was good for me to see a camp with whole families instead of just youth or just kids. I think that doing family camp brings an added bonus because different genverations are interacting and learning from each other.
We arrived at the camp late on Friday night (around 11), so it was time for dinner and then bed. The plan was that group devotions would start at 6 AM the next day, so I wanted to get some sleep. Thankfully, I woke up on my own around 7 and devotions weren't as early as I feared. We spent most of the morning in a rally and heard a great message about having an undivided heart toward God. After lunch, we played soccer for probably an hour and a half or two hours and we dominated some white kids from a camp down the road (I was the only white person at our camp). We had a good time playing a releasing a little energy before dinner and the evening rally. After dinner, we had a bonfire and I spent most of the rest of the night in my room hanging out with the guys that I was staying with. I spent a couple of hours talking with three guys who gave me some English names rather than their real names because they knew that their real names would be too hard to pronounce (they didn't even tell me thier real names). Their "names" were Johnson, Morgan, and Louis. We spent time talking about their plans and dreams for the future and they tried to teach me some Zulu and Souto words before we drifted off to sleep.
Sunday morning was the same as Saturday with breakfast right before the morning rally. But this had more of a church service feel to it because it was Sunday morning. After the service, we had lunch and packed up to head home. I rode home with the pastor and his family and ended up hanging out at their house for around two hours in the afternoon. I had a great time with them and I really enjoy being around them because they all have a gentle spirit and they love to laugh. We get along great and I would say that the two hours I spent with them actually sum up the camp very nicely. I built relationships and I got along great with everybody. It was an awesome (and tiring) weekend.
