A bit more has happened since last time.

I think it was Saturday that many of the other interns came over to swim. Yes, they came to the house I am staying at to swim (after invitation, of course). Come to find out, the house I am staying at is a visitation spot interns frequented previous years. Lucky! I think swim parties, group devotionals and the hang out spot will be at the house I am staying at.

Wait. What are you doing away from your family only hanging out with some college friends?!

Yes, I am hanging out with my college friends (and new friends) but I'm also, as of today, starting what I came down here for. To start things off, we're doing a reading camp for the kids because Impact church of Christ's vacation bible school does not start until Monday, July, 6. It officially began today as much of the preparation has been the days (and weeks) leading up until now. The theme of this reading camp is Charlotte's Web which notices the themes of humility, friendship and love etc. 

I was even asked to film some other interns act out part of the story in front of about forty kids today. It was good. Of course, before that we sang some VBS songs and I started to lose my voice. But that's okay, I was expecting that. 

Unfortunately, doing any VBS-related activity is easy compared to driving to the church. Big city traffic contains cars nearly dodging you as they pass.  I thought the kids at Impact church would be hectic and stressful, not the traffic!! The roads and its traffic here are my web of frustration. But lately, I have just become so unconcerned about the traffic that I just laugh about it while I merge onto the highway. Not foolish or carefree, just less tensed. Anyway, we basically began reading camp today and I know July 6-31 VBS will be pretty exhausting.
