Family Camp Day 2 Continued

What an incredible day! Tonight all my prayers were answered! I had been praying all last night and this morning to be able to connect with the mother from my group better. I knew it was easy to talk to the kids because they were all my peers but it was harder talking with/connecting with an adult. But today during free time after I went swimming with them and came back and got cleaned up, I was roaming around and found the mother all by herself. She needed me to help her find the accessible showers and she wanted me to take her to the Joni & Friends book store. So as we went along our way we had a really nice conversation and we even ended up sitting down to talk too! It was so great, she's really sweet and she likes to ask lots of questions about my life. I was so thankful I finally got a chance to hangout with her.
I also got an amazing opportunity to have a really good talk with the oldest son and his girlfriend. I really feel like I made a difference! I know it's all God of course but it's such a good feeling knowing I can help out. And I'm so glad they finally opened up to me, such a blessing! The whole night was just amazing. Billy & I really got alot of time to hang out with the family tonight. It was a really good time to chill and get to know each other. We've all exchanged our information already and we plan to keep in touch after camp, and I'm very excited!
I'm posting a few pictures from the day today. As you can see, I'm loving every moment with this family! I can't help but think back to when I used to tutor for Mr. Trefz class the last few years. I worked with kids from some pretty bad situations and rough parts of town and ever since that's always been where my passion lies. I can't help thanking God for the great opportunity of working with this family. I wish I could work with families just like this for the rest of my life. I'm determined to find a career through this somehow.
Not to mention, I got an email from Daniel and he's back safely from Dublin and had a wonderful time! It was so nice to hear from him and he posted even more wonderful pictures, be sure to check them out. I can't wait for him to come home!
Well, I've got to get ready for bed and I'm hoping for a good night sleep for once. Keep us in your prayers! Thank you so much!
