On August 26th we left for boys camp at Camp Andrews. It was a hard and stretching week. It was kinda nice to get back into a week of routine. I was a counselor for six ten year old boys. We had a lot of fun and a lot of testing times. It was good to get to know some of the boys from the neighborhood. Four of the boys from my cabin were from within about five blocks of our house. I had known some of them from boys club so it wasn't too bad. what helped my cabin to go smoothly was that five of the six boys were there for the first time, but the hard part was that both of us as counselors were there for the first time. But all in all it was a good week, teaching young city boys about the woods, and the bugs was quite a lot of fun. We got home around six o'clock on friday evening and then had our debriefing meeting at seven and that lasted till about nine. We all had a lot of laundry to do before nine the next morning which is what time we were to leave for youth retreat. That was an awesome weekend, just hanging out and chilling with the youth from up here. Playing games and walking through the woods in the dark, and going barefoot in the dirt and grass, I miss that so much. That weekend did not consist of a lot of sleep. Then on the way home I had an accident, someone ran into the back of me and pushed the rear door way in and smashed the back window in. Do not worry no one was hurt. We had thought about taking someone else with us and if she would have come along someone probably would have been hurt. Also about the same time that it happened the pastors wife from up here, whose van we were using, laid down to take a nap and felt an urge to pray for those using the van. So we owe her a big thanks for her prayer and God a lot of gratitude for putting it on the heart of her to pray. The two girls in the back seat were laying down so the glass that did come forward flew over them and the two guys in the middle were pretty much protected by the seats. It was amazing because the guy in the passenger seat found glass in his lap. And there was glass on the floor by the passenger door.

Then on Tuesday it was not a good day to start work off after a week off. At my first stoore it took four tries to print the invoice right and then at the next store my hand held wouldn't even print. So I had to come home and try to replace some things and the finally figured out that it was just a cord. All of this pushed my day back about two hours. But I got everything done I could and things just happen they way they do.
