Sonforce Special Agents 2008...Joel is soooo cute!!!
I'm so glad to be home. As mentioned in the previous post, the PD Methodist Center really needs a make over. When we were leaving for home yesterday, I figured out why the place is so dirty especially the toilets, other than the place being old. Just as we finished the final session yesterday, a group of youths from Jerantut were waiting to check into the place. Given that there are not more than 10 workers living in the Center I would imagine that it would be impossible to clean up 6 dorms, 4 chalets and 1 bungalow and the dorm toilets in time for the next group. So it was obvious that the caretakers don't clean up the place immediately after one group leaves. A few groups probably sleep on the same sheets and use the dirty messed up toilets before each cleaning cycle. Super yucky. I wanted to take a picture of the toilet to post it here but I figured I didn't want to have any memories of the place.
However, saying that, the camp itself was excellent. The kids had a blast and I hope that they managed to get to know God better and make God more personal in the lives. As for me I think it was nice to do something for God. While driving back yesterday, dangerously half asleep, I felt a sense of achievement, not of pride but the feeling that you've made someone happy and in this case, God. Although compared to a lot of the other teachers I didn't contribute much but I truly felt great that I managed to serve God albeit my many complaints .
The only thing that was a downer in the camp was the stealing incident and the notebook incident after the camp. To be honest I was a little depressed after finding out about the notebook because it just seemed as if we have all labored over the weekend for nothing since the message didn't get through that one child. To make things worse there were some parents who were rather bossy when picking up their kids. It was as if they paid us to take the kids to camp and hence had the right to boss the teachers around. Good thing was that this attitude was only limited to a few parents.
All in all, I was glad that I went to camp and managed to serve God in my little way.

Dear Elmo,
I must say that I am very very very proud of you!!! I'm sure God is too... You cannot say that you did not contribute much to the camp because I believe everyone has contributed, whether big or small and that God sees each and every contribution as the same... Sure, some of us may have worked harder than others, but in the end, I think what counts is that we all have done something to help make God's camp a success... Your horsey lesson and quiz were pretty good too... I'm sure the kids loved spending time with you during SG, games and spy hunt too!!! =)Don't belittle what you have done for God... You put your fears and stepped out of your comfort zone for God and we all appreciate it! Again, I am so proud of you!!!
Love,
esiotrot ><
My girls in the bungalow said that I was an insult to the horse...hmmm I think that I should take that as a compliment cause I don't look anything like a horse...u think? :)
