Wellspring is gone!

It's been a long, hard week.  Here are some of the (positive) highlights:

 

- Hanging out with Jack Sparrow:  After months of anticipation, I finally got to experience the culmination of the Pirates of the Carribean triology on Saturday night (before a camper could ruin the end for me).

 

- Projectile elk:  Around midnight on Saturday night (after Pirates), a group of us decided to drive to Roswell (where we could spend the night at a Lone Tree staff member's house and go to church in the morning).  But God had other plans, and when we were only a few miles out of camp, an elk jumped into the windshield of Rachel's KIA Rio.  Everyone was fine, the elk went MIA, and Rachel's KIA is getting a new windshield.  (And we went to Roswell in the morning.)

 

- Ninja waitress:  One of the guys from Wellspring's band told me I was the best waitress in the world (after I'd been serving him meals all week).  Then he told me I was like a ninja waitress.  (After watching lots of Ninja Warrior in Albuquerque, I was flattered.)

 

 

Next week: we run our program.  (In other words, we work for 108 hours straight, in a rotating ensemble of costumes.)

 

Some prayer requests:

- Energy for the staff:  It's going to be a long week.  Pray that we have stamina and enthusiasm and focus.

- Staff health:  Some got strep throat, one has pnemonia, and one or two (including myself) may or may not have a sinus infection.  Pray that we stay safe and that no one else gets sick or injured (and that God would heal everyone who has).  This goes for overall community health, too.  Pray that we can encourage and support each other and that our staff can work as a unified team.

- Camper attitudes:  Pray that the campers get excited about our program and are open to hearing the serious parts.  Pray that both the campers and their leaders would respect our staff and our facilities.

 

That's all I've got for this week.  Internet access is difficult to come by, but I'm hoping to post another update next weekend.  Now, off to Walmart.  And I need a cup of coffee.   :O)
