Today is a bittersweet day at Leadership Camp. Things are starting to wrap up as today is the last official full day of camp. As I currently am sitting in the lobby of a five-star hotel across the street from campus stealing their wi-fi, I am getting ready for parents day here at camp. The leadership has invited all the parents of the students going through the camp to come for the day to experience all that their kids have learned. Since China is a stinkin’ huge country, I am not sure how many parents will actually make it out here to Weihai.
Yesterday was another eventful day. I have some extremely powerful stories that I cannot wait to share with you when I get back to America. I will tell you that we had a crazy time called “Sunshine Craze” where the small groups went through a series of games and obstacles to earn points. Some of the stations included egg toss, mystery dinner, sticking candy to somebody’s face, foot-washing, downing a two liter in one minute, and much more. It was a blast. After dinner, all the small groups performed their dramas they have been working on all week. These dramas had some extremely serious topics, but turned out to be communicated quite comedically. (From all that I have heard, Kelyn Bain was incredible in his drama.)
Our work here is almost over. We are definitely on the downhill. In the words of my good friend Israel Lewis, FINISH STRONG!
Here are some pictures from yesterday including the meat stand that is currently saving my life…
By the way, the New York Yankees have not lost since I have been in China. They are currently starting a three game set in Boston, so I hope that continues. If they keep winning, I might have to take one for the team and stay in China till after the World Series – now that is a true fan!!!
i love how ya’ll taught them to play “HA”
i bet they loved that!!
Kelyn called today and sounded really good….only two more cold showers. I asked him about the “toilet experience” and he said they call them “quatty potties” At least they can laugh about it. Thanks for the pics, it looks like an awesome experience for EVERYONE. “DAD” is doing great and mighty things in WeiHai. I really appreciate the time,hard work and and love you guys give our kids, it is such comfort to know they are halfway around the world with someone who cares so much for them, not just their physical but their spiritual needs. Love and miss you all….please give Kelyn a hug for us. Prayers are being answered.
