I also had my track time set up this day, but I passed out from dehydration. Talk about a day ruiner. I was coming up from the recreation field and went inside to go sit down and sat on the stairs and then from what I'm told I passed out, but I don't remember this. I just know that I came to feeling horrible and knowing that something wasn't right because I was on the ground.

I promise that camp happened that week too, but Christmas was a huge part of it for the staff. This was actually the only week I got a TA and she did an amazing job being with the kids and getting them to do what I said. It was nice to have some backup. Track B was interesting. I had a kid named Jarod that had autism and he was amazing. The first day we played games and worked on trapping, and Jarod actually participated! His mom came and told me that this was the most she had seen him participate in a while and it made me smile that he found something that he could do with other kids and not feel different. Jarod became my little camper for the week and it was amazing to see him grow and come out of his shell more and more as the week progressed.

Not only did camp happen but my mom left for Peru that week. My heart went out to Peru and I so wanted to go and see the people that I worked with last summer. However, since I'm at camp I had to let other people go in my place. They had a safe trip there and back and I loved reading posts about what was happening over there. God had some amazing plans for that team and they were carried out.
