Thursday Morning

Another clear and bright morning here in Camalote, Belize.  The 5:45 wake up rounds have been made and we are about to begin exercise at 6:10 followed by morning devotions.

Here is a brief recap of yesterday:
We had a good afternoon yesterday participating with and leading the children in sports, a panel discussion on respect, the quiz competition on our morning devotions, and after dinner, skits and songs by the camper groups and movie night.  During the evening worship one of the groups were led by some of our youth in singing "Bonse Aba" , a song from last year's choir tour.  Two other groups did a skit portraying the Good Samaritan.  All that after a full morning of Bible Study, a scavenger hunt, and preparations for evening worship service.  Yes, you could say our days are full here at the BTC.

Matt kept us on schedule today, including giving instructions for the scavenger hunt around the camp.  Each of the three teams of campers had 20 items to find on the grounds of the BTC.  Each team found all 20 items.


A volleyball tournament was held among teams of campers and our youth.



Zachary, Courtney, Steve and two of the camp counselors served as a panel for a discussion on respect for authority.  The panel was asked questions by the campers and some of the adults on showing respect for others, especially those in positions of authority, and how to deal with problems that arise when someone in a position of authority does something to lessen one's respect.

Melanie Orange was the moderator for the quiz competition.  Wednesday's questions were on the Good Samaritan, our devotion Scripture for the day.

Our meals have been pretty good; they are traditional Belizean fare. We have had rice and beans at several meals, chili beans with meat, chicken meat balls, and slaw or salad with several meals.  Breakfasts have been eggs and bread. We had fry jack one morning.  The Bible Camp director has cooks to prepare meals.  Our regular cooks and dear friends Jane and Laticia have been working in the kitchen too, but they are not cooking separately for us.

Breakfast is ready and the rest of our day is ahead.  Thanks for your prayers and support.
