It's June! Camp training is over. . .

I'm back home for the weekend and thought I'd give you a quick update about how camp is going so far. I don't have internet available at camp so I will do my best to update you on the weekends that I make it home. . . . Camp has been amazing! I've met so many great people and have loved their company! Training was much much more intense than I was expecting but I know it will prove to be beneficial once campers start coming. This Monday (June 14th) is the official beginning of camp! Monday through Friday we start with Day camp so we will have campers from 8am-4pm then more training in the evenings. Then next Sunday will start resident(over-night)camp. I will be working with the 8-11year old girls all summer and am super excited!. . . Please keep me in your prayers as I will be under great stress and in great need of child-like energy each and every day! Also, as you know I will be working with intercity kids and over this past two weeks have realized how much I just don't know or understand about other races and cultures. This is going to be a huge struggle for me to find ways to relate to kids from intercity Chicago when I grew up in New Era/Cedar Springs! At this point this is my biggest worry when it comes to camp and I would appreciate much prayer over this matter! Also please pray that I will have the boldness to take every opportunity to tell everyone about Christ! . . . Oh, hay interesting tid-bit there is another Jenelle at camp. It is really strange to hear me being talked about or talked to and it not really me! haha I think this is the first time since way back that I have ever been in the same room with someone with my name (same for Jenelle too). So I'm trying to figure out what would be a good nick-name to have the campers call me?! At school I go by 'Momma J' because of how I take care of those around me. Any thoughts or suggestions? :) . . . Anyway, Denny and I have been doing really well and have been enjoying our summer off of School! It has been hard to spend so much time apart but we both have been doing really well anyway. Denny is still working nearly 40hrs/wk but still finds time to come see me every weekend and call every night! :) Once resident camp starts I wont be able to have my cell phone on except for an hour a day so we will talk to each other even less. Please keep us in your prayers this summer; that although we may be apart our relationship will just grow stronger, for Denny's hours to keep up, for me at camp and all that goes with it, and God's continued provisions for next semester!. . . Thank you again for your love, support, and prayers! ~Janelle (P.S. I will try to post a few pictures next time I update. Also if there is anything you want to know about how things are going please leave me a comment! I never really know what you all want to hear.)
