Why not you?


Hey everybody!

Today is a day full of rest and bonding, and it's going great so far. The team is in a little rest period, as we have a few days off until we hit our last two camps! The last camp we had the pleasure of being a part of was Circle Square Ranch Bible Camp in Saskatchewan. What a blessing it was!

There were a couple first times for me 1)First time eating cream of wheat and 2)First time experiencing what's called the blob; a large inflatable tube that has one person sit on one end, while the other person (or sometimes two people) jump from a tower, hit the blob, and launch the unsuspecting victim high in the air.....soooo fun!!

At Circle Square, we had the opportunity to hang out with a younger age group of kids while they went about their days, which was nice to be able to share in the joy that they had for life, and for dance. The campers and the staff made us very comfortable, and made time to get to know us. Going to all these different camps and sharing your lives with other people is amazing, but having someone share their own life with you and what God has done or is doing for them is even more important...and I guess that is a big lesson to learn as well; that we are not just going to camps to make people's lives better or pour into them...but that the people we meet at these camps are there as well to build us up, and it's been great to see that in this camp.


As far as what we did, things went great. We had four workshops on Monday, with lots of kids attending and having lots of fun. We performed some pump-up dances when we arrived on Sunday, Want More on Monday and Lost on Tuesday, then left yesterday around noon.

We have the day off today, then we get to practice tomorrow. Tonight we are going to see Step Up 3D as a team, dressed to the nines in Hip Hop, and can't wait!!

Until next time,

Jesse

PS- Title meaning here:
A song I heard from Alli originally, then made alive at this camp.
"Do the robot....Jean Paul Chenoupier....Ahh! Banana....Hey Diddly Diddly Diddly....Yaba Daba, Hoggy Doggy....Escidily-ot 'n dot....Bobo Scadeet 'n dot....and why not you?"
