Well, another day is in the books. Our day started with a gorgeous morning. I think that spending a devotional time while looking out at mountains is something we could all get used to. We spent most of the day getting ready for the first camp: organizing craft supplies, inflating all those balls we brought, and hammering out rules and procedures for many games. The kids were AWESOME, totally ready to do whatever was needed to make the camp fun and welcoming. The main building here is now covered in creative signs and posters. We were feeling good and ready to meet the Honduran kids tomorrow and then…it was time to learn about flexibility.
Later in the afternoon we learned that as of today there were only 10 kids signed up for the first camp. Not exactly what anyone here or on our team was expecting. The leaders met and prayed and weighed our options. After much discussion it was decided to cancel the first camp and fold those kids into the second camp. It sounds as if most, perhaps all, of those kids will be able to come next week and we’re thankful for that. However, that leaves us with about 4 days to fill. We’re still in the process of figuring out what the next few days hold for us, but we’re looking at some team building opportunities and service opportunities around Siguatepeque. Please pray for flexibility, patience, open doors and that we would be able to see God work in amazing and truly unexpected ways through this more unpredictable time.
This evening we met many of the Honduran leaders who will be with us next week. We played some great games, including a fun and confusing icebreaker called “Streetfighter” that the team of people from California (also staying at the camp right now) taught us. I’d guess you’ll be hearing/seeing this one when we get home. It was exciting to meet more of the team. I think it got us all excited for what is coming up.
It’s time to wrap it up for now—almost bedtime. Good night from Campamento Cerro de Luz! And a shout out to Mike D.—cuz he wants one here apparently. ;-)

Devotional time looking at the mountains?? -- thats sounds surreal!
With the first camp being cancelled, I guess all of you need to think on your toes all 13 days! We are - and will continue to pray for you. God bless!
