Today was my third day of my second week at the Harrisburg YMCA summer camp. Overall Its really6 fun, we play all kinds of games with the campers. Though sometimes the kids will act up just to be annoying and really frustrating. Buit Proverbs 27 verse three says "Stone is heavy and sand a burden, but a fool's provocation is heavier than both." The stone and sand represent heavy responsibilities and burdens, while the fools provocation means ongoing annoyance and lack of wisdom to find away to stop those feelings.

Monday week 3

Today was my second week as an LIT for the Harrisburg YMCA summer camp. We tend to have a good time even with the struggles of stubborn kids. Saturday is the Pre-test and I'm not really looking forward to it. The cycle is a lot harder than I anticipated but I think I can push through to the end. I have finished all my workouts and I'm preparing for the Pre-test.

Today I woke up at 6:50 AM to get ready for another day as an LIT for the Harrisburg YMCA summer camp. So far being an LIT has been pretty good (with a few challenges here and there) I have made some great friends working there, at the beginning of the week they gave me a "camp name" (which is basically a nickname) which is "Sushi" due to my love of ... well, sushi.
