Well as promised while the gang is in the water i would give an update of our week at camp so far, the ride up here was a little depressing it pretty much rained the whole way, so the drive was a little longer than expected.  Upon arrival at camp the teens were greated with a very energetic group of summer missionaries.  Our girls got a cabin all to themselves and the guys had to share a dorm which is great because now they have made friends with guys from Flordia.  Monday evening the messy games began on the obsticle course the boys finished first and the girls well lets just say they finished, the night ended with a bon fire at the lake.  Tuesday was the first full day at camp where the camp host broke open the idea of who are you?  The Joy of Identity, and the Joy of Eternity, the teens got a chance to enter into the sacrament of reconciliation.  Our host broke open the topics of Heaven and Hell and what Jesus meant to Humanity.  Tuesdays activities were organized free time, and the teens that shall we say sports is not their thing swamped to the Art barn where they were able to work on crafts and sit withh the musicians and jam a while.  Wednesday our host broke open the Joy of Compassion, we learned that compassion is not nessessarily feeling sorry for someone, but suffering along with them, "Come"-to be with and "Passion"-to suffer.  Activities of the day was high and low ropes course.  Today Thursday the group as I said earlier is on the water, but when they return our host will break open the Idea of the Joy of Love, we will adore our Lord in Eucharistic adoration many of our teens express that this is their favorite thing to do, to just be with Jesus in his Eucharistic presence.  as time permits I will try to update this blog again, pictures are eaisier to load as you've seen.  PLEASE, PLEASE continue to pray for your teen and for us, as leaders by this time we need a little extra prayer cover, God Bless you and check back soon.
