Each week, the Resurrección Day Camp takes a field trip. This week, it was to Birch Bay Water Slides just north of Bellingham. Our team accompanied them on their field trip this week and had a chance to spend some time playing with the students at the day camp - many of which are the same ages as our youth. It was wonderful to see many of our youth spending time with the youth from the Day Camp in the water and over lunch. As soon as we arrived, several of our girls went over to a group of girls from the Day Camp and encouraged them to join them at the top of the water slides. Over lunch, several of our youth split off from the rest of our group to sit and talk with the Day Camp students. As they have told us about the conversations they had, it is very apparent that our youth have a larger understanding of God and the world - even after a day of play.

This afternoon was a time of rest...something we all needed. It was very apparent that we were all exhausted after a long day yesterday and a night of sleep that was cut short by a spectacular thunderstorm. After some naps and quiet time, we gathered this evening for journaling time, some discussion about what we have seen and experienced, and Compline.
Tomorrow is another full day of work in fields (not at 5am this time) and assisting at a medical clinic for the farm working community. Make sure you check the blog tomorrow evening as we will have a lot to share!
