Monday

What a day we have had! We have had an eventful day that started for some of us in urgent care. Thankfully we have gotten everyone with the medicine they need that hopefully we won't have any more medical issues the rest of the week. Once we left where we were staying, we got to go experience the Amish country and see some things they do. Then we headed to camp at Eastern university on the outskirts of Philadelphia. The first few hours are crazy trying to get everyone in rooms and figuring out where they are supposed to be. But by the end of the night, when all the adults were tired and ready for bed, the kids were all fired up and excited to be here. We have a lot of kids who have never been this north before and never been to a city like Philadelphia. It is the 6th largest in the us. Pretty much all the groups will be helping those who are in extreme poverty and some homeless people. We were challenged tonight to not judge those people but share the love of Jesus with them as well. I can't wait to see all that God has in store for all of us this week. Pray for us as we head to our ministry sites for the first time. Some aren't happy where they are, so I pray they will have a willing spirit to allow God to use them. Pray for us to get enough rest and have a good attitude towards others as well, and for us to stay healthy! Can't wait to see how God changes us in mighty ways!
