7:30 Mollie, Amanda, and I rolled out of bed and headed to breakfast--our last breakfast without the campers. We proceeded from there to do more training of various intensities and then headed back to the dining hall for lunch. After lunch, we had our final meeting, and the campers began to arrive. The next two hours were filled with cheering and smiles as the families piled out of their vans and RVs, and the STMs helped unload the luggage, our light blue t-shirts tinged with dark patches as a result of the 95 degree weather. Melina and her family got there about an hour into the process, pulling up in the white RV they take down from Oklahoma City. Dressed in her bright or
ange top, orange miniskirt, and purple crocs, Melina climbed down the steps of the RV and gave me a hug. So excited to have my camper back for the third year! She is almost to my shoulder now--definitely growing up! I ate dinner with Melina and her family, and then her mom took her back to their room pretty quickly because Melina was tired. They had spent the day before at Great Wolf Lodge water park so she was ready to sleep! Larsen, Mollie's camper, arrived with her mother. Donned in pink attire and ready with her famous one-liners, Larsen hopped out of the car and gave Mollie a giant h
ug. Tomorrow Melina and I will go swimming and tie-dye. Should be a great day!
On a different note, we found out today that Joni, the founder of the camps, has been diagnosed with breast cancer. Although tragic, this cancer has not gotten Joni down. We read her email today as a team and she is wholly trusting in God and excited for him to work through her and this cancer.
