From Amaya:
So the day began, and we brought all of our sleeping bags,
pads, pillows, backpacks, and banker’s boxes to the Winthrop room. This was
shortly followed by the church service, where all of the youth going to work
camp served communion. After service, there were many good byes, stuffing the
two cars to the brim, and then a lunch circle on the ground. Then we set forth
on our three hour car ride. I was in the black van, along with Hannon, Brianna,
Helen, and our driver, Andrew. We definitely didn’t get lost, we wanted to take
the scenic route, where we encountered a car accident, which curiously looked
like it only had one car involved, but which appeared to be burnt up and there
was a spreading grass fire. After a long car ride, where we listened to CDs and
the radio, and watched the temperature increase all the way up to 110 degrees
Fahrenheit, we arrived and settled in. It was hot but practically everyone was
playing ladder golf until dinner time, where we were introduced to the people
of the church and served delicious food. Then we went to the pool, and enjoyed
the refreshing water, and played an intense game of Marco-Polo. After that we
returned to our room in the church and got ready for bed. It was quite fun, and
the weather is great (hot and dry, just the way I like it, though others
disagree), and looking forward to showers in the morning!
