Today we completed a great week of camp. Amid the revised location of our camp, the scramble for lodging for our group, daily rain, mosquitoes everywhere and very humid and hot days, we had a successful week. We had a great group of campers and a staff that never stopped working to fulfill every need. The feel of sweat running down ones face and back and the sound of hands slapping at mosquitoes has been a common experience.
A humorous experience in the Bahamas is to be talking to a Bahamian child or adult and to have them slap a mosquito ....... on YOUR face. It happened daily to most of us. It is a simple act of courtesy. Everybody needs a little help.
Our kitchen staff has done double duty this week by working in a strange kitchen and having to go back and forth between our apartment and the school campus/camp site to prepare meals for the campers and staff. The kitchen staff has prepared approximately 600 plates of food since our arrival last Saturday. We salute our kitchen director, Gaye Tate of Dalton, Georgia for her diligent service to Exuma Christian Youth Camp for the past five years.
Saturday is our rest day. We plan to visit the craft market in George Town and sightsee around the island. I would guess that a dip in the Caribbean will probably be on the agenda.
Again, we thank those who are remembering us in prayer. We love you and look forward to posting more notes later.
