King's Kids

Jaynie attended her first ever summer camp this month. It was an interesting experience (have I said that already in another post?), but well worth the time and money we invested for her to be able to go. She worked really hard this past year in school, and Jose Luis and I wanted for her to have a different experience for the summer.

The camp was sponsored, organized, and directed by King's Kids, a ministry of the Youth With A Mission base in Guadalajara, Mexico (http://www.ywamguadalajara.org/in/es_hr.html). Each day was packed with activities - opportunities to learn, to serve, to fellowship, and to play. Jaynie had to get up around 6:30 am and breakfast started the day's activities at 7 am. Bed time and lights out were at 10 pm. Jaynie's favorite part of the day came at 9 am with the start of the classes. Although the classes were all in Spanish, Jaynie took great notes and even today can still explain to me about the messages that most touched her! She took great care to illustrate her notes as well.

In the afternoons, the camp divided into 3 smaller groups - drama, dance, and choir. Jaynie was placed in drama, and she mostly enjoyed it. She participated in one skit. After 8 days of intense classes and practice, the camp took their program on the road. They visited a local orphanage, a nursing home, and the main plaza of a neighboring town. Jaynie performed with her group the skit of the parable of the sower at the orphanage.She also went with the camp to the nursing home and enjoyed visiting with the residents there.I am thankful to God for providing in an unexpected way so that Jaynie and I were able to go to Guadalajara for almost 2 weeks! WOW, I never would have imagined that we would have been able to do this now. Thank you, Lord!
