tired: for real.

so, i know it has been a while since i last posted. but camp has started and we are close to finishing up our third week.

the first week we had a mission team from brooklyn, ny. they were absolutely amazing! they brought so much energy and were great with the kids. it was interesting to work with a group of people, close to my age, who were/are so different. they all grew up in a big city and had to learn at a young age what surviving meant. not necessarily in their home, but on the streets. you could tell they understand where the campers are coming from. they understand their lives. much more than i ever could. 

the second week we didn't have a mission team. but the Lord works wonders. three of the guys from brooklyn came back to dc to help us. they knew we needed more help so they were there. it was such a blessing. more than they could ever know. i honestly don't know what we would have done without them. it was a rough week, but we made it. 

my mom also came to visit! it was nice having a familiar face here. sometimes it gets weird not knowing anybody. we did all the tourist stuff and just enjoyed ourselves. 

i'm so tired though. camp is so draining. kids are draining. and i really just want to sleep. which is what i'm going to do now. i'll have a better post up soon. i promise!
