Church Camp!!

A couple of weeks Brandon and I worked at a week of 5th and 6th grade church camp. We were the "camp missionaries" for the week. We got to share with the kids about Italy and what we'll be doing in Verona. We also got a chance to make some good connections and gained a few prayer partners in the process.

We had lots of fun with our presentations. We tried to make it as interesting and fun as possible. Our favorite thing we did was game we like to call "Spaghetti Face". We dyed spaghetti about 5 different colors and let the kids through it at two of the counselors faces. They loved it! It made a giant mess though and the kids kept stealing it off the stage to keep it. One of the children's ministers there said that on Sunday after camp a mother of one of the campers came up to her and told her he son came home with a really stinky suitcase. When she started going through it she find a giant wad of colored spaghetti! Our game was a hit, so much so the kids wanted souvenirs!

The best thing about the week to me is getting to know the kids and just be around them. I love it...which is good since I am filling the role of children's minister on the Verona team. I can't wait to get to know the children of Verona and see how God uses me to reach them. I'm sure it will be frustrating at times and wonderful at other times but one things for sure, with kids it is always going to be interesting!
