Well we have successfully gotten through week one of training, out of three. the only real thing we did this week put up a handicapped ramp on tuesday and then finished up a few last things on wednesday morning. all of our other time was spent working on tool trailers, making sure all trailers were stocked and that everyone knew how to operate all the tools and what not. another focus of this week was bonding and getting to know everyone on the staff.
Total, there are twelve staffers for this year, six guys and six girls. The guys are : me, Drew (one of the two supervisors), Warren (the worship leader), Brian (the camp pastor), Jason, Zach. The girls are: Hatfield (the female supervisor), America (really Erica, but when says I'm Erica like America), Lisa, Whitney, Amanda, Brittney. Drew, Hatfield, Whitney and Amanda have all been interns before, and other than myself, those are the only people who have ever really done anything with KHO before. Like i said, weve been spending alot of time bonding this week. For instance, Drew bought the entire Indiana Jones Collection and we spent Tues, Wed, and Thurs night watching one movie each, then friday afternoon, the entire staff went to watch the new Jones movie, which is an utter disappointment, dont go see it, its about aliens... weird.
All of the other staff bonding time has been random things like croquet, frisbee, apples to apples and other random things. i really like everyone on the staff and am looking forward to working with them all summer. it should be alot of fun. Within the first 30 minutes i had walked in the door, on the way to goodwill in search of a shirt for "wheres Jason?", a skit were doing similar to wheres waldo, Brian and I were immersed into theological discussions ranging on all topics, including everything from speaking tounges and healing to drinking alcohol and cussing. thats not to mention all the other political discussions. its been alot of fun and i look forward to see what God has in store for all of us.
Thursday was mainly spent working on tool trailers and what not, Friday we woke up a little later than normal (6 am), cooked breakfast, went shopping, and helped to break down the sound system so we could move it. Most everyone left after the movie on friday, leaving only four guys and one girl in Campbellsville. today, we filmed a few short videos for the campers to watch during the services. This was a good idea vs bad idea video. for example, one of the good ideas was putting sunscreen on, the bad idea was putting Krafts Tangy Tomato Bacon dressing on you. So i was given the pleasure of rubbing sunscreen on my arms, followed by salad dressing, also another was a good idea of hitting nails into wood, bad idea was hammering a soda can, which i shook up a can of dr pepper, and then smashed it as hard as i could with a hammer, sending Dr Pepper everywhere, it was pretty nasty. we had all kinds of all other videos and what not, it was alot of fun, even though i got really gross. After the filming we ate lunch and hung around the duplex. after that we went to see the new Narnia movie, Prince Caspian. this was a great movie, especially compared to Indiana Jones. I highly recommend it. we then went to Zach's house for dinner, his parents let us eat some burgers at their house, followed by four square. To top everything off, we went to a place called Summer Snow, which is an awesome snow cone place in Campbellsville, i think its going to have to become a weekly adventure for me... i mean the have 60 flavors... whats not to love!!
In addition to all of this stuff, most nights, before bed, im outside talking with the one and only Emily Burger, which is always a treat! :-* im kinda fond of her
Even though this pretty slack week has been fun and has given me a chance to get to know everyone ill be working with fairly well, im really looking forward to getting some hardcore work done and learning how to put roofs on houses and build decks. next week will be really busy as well be putting a roof on the president of KHO's house (pretty convenient huh?) the next week will be even busier as well have to build 5 decks in 5 days, in addition to all of the set up well have to be doing in order to get ready for campers to arrive that sunday. im getting really excited about everything starting to get going at a quick pace.
