Week 3 Whitecourt

This was our first real test as a team for the summer. There were 74 campers all week. I had to make lots of adjustments throughout the week because of the size of camp. Despite the size, it was a fantastic week of camp. We had great volunteers and everything was well organized and planned out on the church's part. It was awesome to see a lot of returning volunteers from last year. They remembered me really fondly and were really excited to have me back! They even showed me a slideshow they made of all the pictures from last year and some coaches showed me videos of me juggling from last year. It was awesome hearing all their stories about how soccer camp has affected their community and church growth.  It was a good week filled with some awesome stories. For example, the church didn't have a backup facility booked because everything was full. That meant if it rained, we wouldn't have anywhere to go, and couldn't run camp. On Thursday morning.. I was woken up by thunder and heavy raining. I was panicking because we didn't have a backup facility. BUT somehow, the coordinator/pastor managed to book 8 FULL HOURS at the local recreation centre (which had an indoor soccer arena) one hour before camp started! What a miracle, I really couldn't believe it! Praise the Lord! Whitecourt was an awesome week but it wasn't all great news. On thursday night we had a volunteer verse coach's game, Ben (one of my teammates) ended up tearing a part of his ligament in his ankle while playing. He was unable to move and was on crutches the next day. Friday was a bit of a challenge but we pulled through, luckily Ben had a brace for it (because it was a reoccuring injury) Please pray for his recovery.
