Quote of the day:
Setting; in chapel devotional. Broke off into partners for prayer.

Marky: we're kind of like doctor Phil. We counsel the kids and such.

Molly: and we're bald?

Marky: okay, well maybe we're not bald men


Molly: you're a man.

Marky:okay. New analogy. so we're like spiderman. We help people out and we... Uh... Are spiders?
Okay, so we're like Batman. We have our staff shirts, he has a bodysuit, he has a sidekick, we have the LIT's. And uh...

Molly:these analogies suck.

Marky: so we're like camp counselors...

reign in me

So I have discovered that I can, in factl blog with my phone. How much I'll be taking that opportunity has yet to be seen. I mean, it's only staff training right now and when we're not busy, we're bonding and laughing and playing soccer and taking part in epic massage trains. But I shall try my darndest. As for staff training so far, it's been incredible with little dashes of terror. I've already learned so much and can feel myself growing and I truly feel like I'm coming into my own, yet there's a lot of pain with Chelle's sickness and bits of drama from back home and gallons of dramatics from right here. Overall though, it's truly shaping up to be a fantastic experience. The very night we arrived, it was wonderful, even if that just meant spending the night laughing with Chelle, trev, Jose, Ethan and Josh because none of the other staffers had arrived yet. It's a great experience to spend so much time with people who mean so incredibly much to me, and to meet new people and know in my heart that by the end of all this, they'll be like true brothers and sisters. I am just so thankful for all of this and everything that god if laying on my heart. I especially love Jill, my VBS leader, and a woman I have always admired. I love how close we've gotten... How close the entire staff is! It's such a blessing. I am so strengthened by my relationship with Chelle, and that we've somehow grown even closer. I don't know if I'd feel near as fantastic as I do now if I didn't have my bestfriend on this ride with me. But now I've realized it is far passed curfew and my body is begging me for sleep. Blessings to everyone!
