Today we woke to the sound of rain and discovered everything was soggy outdoors. The day didn’t start out too promising but as to day wore on we found that the rain would clear up when we were ready to go out and enjoy the activities set up for this for the day. By the afternoon we were actually seeing patches of blue.

In fact the afternoon warmed up enough to enjoy some swimming and go for a sailboat ride.
For those who have been following our camp activities for a while, you will know that we always celebrate everyone’s birthday while we’re at camp.
This is the way it works; we group the campers together by month and sing the Happy Birthday song to each group, including all the names of campers of that group, which can make for a very long song, depending on the size of the group. Once we’ve completed singing to each group, the campers open their presents, which were distributed as a part of the process, on the count of three. It was evident that the campers were pleased with their gifts, cupcakes and ice cream that followed.
We had another installment of Joseph’s story during Breakfast Club. As you might have read yesterday, we left off where Joseph had been taken from his home and put on a caravan to parts unknown. Today we learned that Joseph’s fortunes had gone from bad to worse. Joseph reached Egypt where he was sold as a slave. Although Joseph would be in what many would call unfavorable circumstances, God still blessed him in his situation and he was soon put in charge of the whole household of which he was a member. Just as things began to look up, Joseph loses his position due to slanderous accusations. Once again Joseph has everything taken from him and he must move from his home.
Our teachers, Sue and Carolyn pointed out that there was one thing that could not be taken away and that was Joseph’s trust in God. We’ll be looking forward to learning more about Joseph’s adventures this morning in Breakfast Club.
