This morning I got myself a cup of peppermint tea, and jumped right into the day. I started off by picking out camper-made thank you cards for the Mid-High Winter Retreat volunteers. I was able to use CampTrak to address them and get them ready to send while Heather and Mary were preparing breakfast. After eating, the women who were at the retreat this weekend expressed their gratefulness for our service. It has been so rewarding to see how thankful the women and middle-schoolers were. Heather and I worked on cooking lunch, and then finished early so we were able to get some office work in. We have a ton of fun together in the office. Today we had a good laugh about how this is the first time there has been an Iditarod without a Pope! In the office, I got my CIT contract signed for the summer, and started to work on the Camper Board I am creating. After serving up lunch and eating some yummy soup, the women gave us lots of hugs and thank yous before departing. It was then that the music went on, and camp cleaning began!
Even though it is tiring work, the encouragement of the kiddos and the women has filled me up, so I can keep on serving.
