Staff Camp 2009- Day 1

Well, we arrived on time this morning ready to go! We helped with load-in, which we had never done before. It made for a long day. But the hardest work is out of the way! The kids come tomorrow so it makes it tons more fun. Here are some load-in pictures.


The Stage


T-shirt boxes. We moved a lot of them.
And we moved them a lot.


Maddy and Ryan organized.


Marquin is a great worker. But here he's texting.


Look at those girls go!


This is Doug's normal posture at camp. We have to work on that.


Eagerly waiting to work...


Setting up merchandise...


Those Delks! Lindsay threw something at me for taking a picture. I braved it out and got the action on film!


Our Compassion hut that we built with James, a former Compassion child who was sponsored for 16 years in Kenya who is here to work for the summer with Student Life to share about Compassion!


We had to fasten all the chairs in the building together with plastic zip ties.

After our fun filled day, we got our stuff in the room and took off for dinner, Wal-Mart and a fireworks show!


Dinner at Chili's.


Fireworks in Denison. We weren't sure we were going to some place legit. Brother Scott's sister Tammy led us in the right direction though. Once it started, I tried to get some pictures with the "fireworks" feature on the camera. This is the best one.



Love everyone and hope you have a good night! Pray that we are truly ambassadors of the gospel this week!

Until tomorrow...
