day 13, 7.00
so this is incredibly late, and we go home tomorrow, but i figured that i would catch up now in the ten minuets i can esrape together between the last ever trip to the beach and our bbq this evening from the Gaws.
two days ago was the last full day at camp and we did beach Olympics, but the waves were to big so we did them on the football pitch as the weather was gorgeous and we had quite a few water fights and it was really good fun, we also did the closing ceremony in the evening and ward fours dance was amazing, they are the youngest ward and they were pretending to be chicks and were so cute! the international team did various funny skits organised by hannah and claire, one of which was the game guess who, where we pretended to be characters of the team. i was babs, the kids enjoyed all the acts greatly, the evening finished with a binfire and a slideshow of all the kids, altogether an immense final day.
yesterday the kids left, it was so sad to think what they might be going back to and that we probably will never see them again, i had to remember that we had given them all we could in two weeks, hope, what the camp is named after and the reason for our lives, jesus christ. we may not be able to solve any of their problems or give them an easier life but we can give them someone who will hold tight to them and never let go, a reason to live and a reason to laugh. i will continue to pray for the girl in my ward and the children who touhed my hearts and names i remember, for every other child, god nows but your prayer for their lives now is always always needed and welcomed.
today we did touristy stuff, the cam felt so empty without the children so we went down town for a meal and a tour of a near by fortress, i will miss this place so much and i think that they do such an amazing job here, well done!
