All moved and ready for three more weeks of camp....
Camp this past week was great! For some reason we had a bus load of 30 kids decide not to come (not so great) but because of this me and three other girls got to have a week of something different (which was very refreshing and needed). We spent the week cleaning the new dinning hall in prep for last and final inspections in hopes of everything going perfectly and being able to use the new building this week. Half way through the week I got to go and work in the office to help get them caught up from under mounds of paper work and I had a lot of fun doing that! And because I wasn't in a cabin I got the opportunity to go home Thursday night instead of Friday to help Denny get our apt. all moved into our new one and our old one clean and ready for inspection. Wednesday Denny got all the big furniture moved and Friday I spent the whole day moving all the little things and then Denny and I finished moving the bed. Then yesterday (Saturday) my Momma drove two hours just to help me clean our old apt.! It was really nice to have her here and because of her help everything should be done and Denny shouldn't have to do any more cleaning or moving! . . . God sure does know what He is doing! I knew at the beginning of last week that I was just not going to be up to par if I was in a cabin but I was doing my very best to get my energy and attitude up for the kids, then my Couch came in and said that they were combining two cabins and my co and I were going to do odd jobs for the week. Then I heard from Denny that we got the keys to our new Apt. and because I didn't have a cabin I could then leave early to help him get us moved in! It is amazing to see God move!! I praise the Lord for the relaxing week last week and am excited for this next week (although I am ready to come home and just be a wife again too.) :). . .
Oh, and since I got to come home early I was able to go see a Dr. about my possible sun poisoning; he said that true full sun poisoning makes you really sick so mine is a minor case or at the very least a sun reaction. I told him that Mom and I had done some research and had found the ingredient PABA in some sunscreens has been known to cause this problem so I stopped using my sunscreen. He said that is probably the cause and we did right to do that. I was told to do my best to stay out of the sun and find some SS that didn't have that in it that there wasn't much else to do about it but wait for it to go away. Please pray for me for these next three weeks; pray that God works to help heal me or at the very least make it less itchy! I have it all down my arms even on my fingers and all over my face and neck. So I've been wearing a hat and the camp has been amazing at helping anyway they can as well! Thank you so much for your prayers on this matter!. . . . Also, something else we would appreciate your prayers about; earlier I mentioned that the girls and I were working on cleaning the new dinning hall so we could possibly use it even this summer. We had our inspections on Wed. and with much much disappointment we didn't pass! The biggest disappointment was that much of the little things that kept us from passing could have been prevented if only people would have let other people know of changes that were made. They have been working really hard since then to get all these little things fixed and ready for the redo inspection on Tue. this week. This building has been in the works for 7 years and the camp is really ready to finally use it! The Chef is currently working in a kitchen the size of a bathroom and we are having to have a boys meal and a girls meal because the dinning hall is too small for the number of campers that we have. So please shower the camp in your prayers this week! That God's hand will move and we will be able to use the new dinning hall for the last two weeks of camp!!!!. . ..
Thanks again for you love, support, and prayers! ~Janelle
