We started our morning with our worship time and Bible study. We then sent all the team members outside to have a "Silent Retreat". This was a 4 hour block to just spend time with Jesus, reading, praying, worshiping, journaling, etc. When the time was done, we met as a group and had a lengthy discussion regarding our time. Usually our team meets more consistently to go into depth about "heart-issue" subjects, building up our team and encouraging them and their relationship with Christ. We've been so busy most nights that we haven't had time to do this. This 4 hour block gave the team some down time to focus on Jesus and then discuss it even further as a group. It was a good discussion.
After lunch, we headed down to Loboc Elementary where there were 535 students enrolled. We didn't do crafts there, as it would've been too chaotic. With 9 student team
members and 3 adult leaders, it was still VERY chaotic. We had the group split into two groups, half played with the parachute, while the other half with the tug-of-war. I saw some girls that I got to know last year. They spoke pretty good English and had a ton of questions about life in America and the schools. It was fun to talk with them again. The team also performed the 3 dramas and I stayed with the girls and explained the dramas more thoroughly to them. It was a good time, chaotic, but good.
When we were driving home from the school, several students were already walking up the driveway for the camp. We hurried and got stuff ready and went to hang out on the basketball court as more and more of the campers started to arrive. I taught a bunch of Filipino boys how to play bump with the basketball. It was fun. After dinner, one of our team members, Zach shared a message. He did a great job! We did roll call with the students. There were 5 high schools represented, with 10-20 students coming from each high school. A lot of extra students showed up... 26 more than signed up. We ended up with 86 students! It was going to be a great weekend!
