Day 3--12/29/08

Most of the team went to Deelpan this morning for VBS. Rich, Kim, Aaron, and I stayed behind to make final camp preparations and to begin camper registration. Asbury had a VBS at Deelpan in previous years, so the kids were waiting for them since they knew "the americans were coming." We sent a team there on Monday and Tuesday. On Monday they started with 30 kids and ended with about 100. On Tuesday they had even more--this is thanks to the "bush telegraph."

Campers started arriving that afternoon and I quickly realized that most of the kids who were coming were older than normal camper age. I enjoyed meeting the people who we would spend the week with and getting to know the campers in my bible study group. We also broke ground for the cross that we would be building later in the week.
