And Thats a Wrap

Well training is officially over. Three weeks of late nights, early mornings, and a lot of hard work in between. These three weeks have been a lot of fun, and Ive gotten to know a lot of awesome people. Wednesday we split up into crews again, this time the crew i was on had 5 people, and we built another 12 by 10 deck, but this time we built the whole thing in one day. we got started working about 630 or 7, and were finished by 530 or 6. we got off to a bit of a slow start, but picked up the pace and were finished first. I thought we worked well together again. Im really glad that everyone can work well with everyone else, hopefully that means we will have minimal drama and problems between staffers working during the camp weeks. Thursday we went through all of the worship services. it was a long day, doing 4 full worship services in one day, but it was really good and im looking forward to all of the services, even though theyll probably get old after hearing the same thing 6 times in a row. Friday we reorganized the trailers and made sure for one last time that we had all of the tools we needed for the camp weeks. We were also assigned trailers for the summer, or at least the week. This week, ill be putting a new roof on a house. i went with one of our supervisors to take the trailer to the job site, and was able to look at the roof ill be putting on. it doesnt look like it will be too big of a roof, but it will be a full week. this house definitely needs a new roof. i only got a good look at two sides of the house, one has a big dip in the roof, which im hoping isnt a hole, and the other side already has a hole thats been patched with plastic or something. i just hope the roof is stable enough for all the kids to be up there at the same time. After lunch, we went and purchased all the food well be needing for the week at walmart. its amazing the number of chips, sandwich meats, bread, drinks, ect that it takes to feed 140 people. we pretty much cleaned out walmarts food section.

our first crew of staffers come tomorrow around 4. Im really looking forward to them getting here. I believe weve got about 140 campers, including chaperones. the week should be interesting. ill be incredibly busy, but i cant wait for everything to really get started.
