This week was the first week of Girls' Mission Camp (GMC)!
Sunday evening Jennifer (wrangler in training W.I.T.) and Olivia (Volunteer Wrangler V.W.) showed up not too long after I did. Abigail (head wrangler) was on vacation for the weekend and wasn't returning until Monday night. So Mr. Steve, Olivia, and I showed them the ropes. We gave them the "grand tour" and explained how we do things.
It was a completely new experience for me...teaching someone to do a job that I haven't completely mastered yet myself. I have to admit that I was a little nervous about it, but it went really well! I prayed before they even arrived that God would guide me to be a good teacher and to ease all of our nerves. Prayer is a powerful thing!
Let's just say that both of them were waaaay better at being a W.I.T than I was!
I love both of them! They were super helpful and super fun to be around!
There were some ups and downs as always (like golf-cart wrecks and being a littlebittybit home sick).
But between a being a super hero sidekick ("Scotch Tape Girl") in a funny skit to a wrangler only ride to getting to use a crazy fun chainsaw like tool to cut limbs on trails to amazing fireworks for the 4th it was an awesome week!
I just love my job so much! I love answering the girls' horsey questions and talking to them about how they are liking camp. I love the other staff members so much! We really have become a family and it is so cool to see how far our relationships have come so far this summer!
