Thursday with the campers

I have been unable to access my blog for most of the day, so I will try to remember all that has happened up till now.

Started off the day by setting up shop with a laptop on the Verandah again and had first brewed a cup of Kenya coffee to start the day off right. Managed to set up my camera on the tripod and take a few self portraits, not very flattering ones before the arrival of Turbo the German Shepherd whom wanted to destroy the whole apparatus by upsetting my very fragile tripod. Tragedy was averted.

After a breakfast Paul prepared of scrambled eggs, bacon & toast (along with the remnants of coffee) we headed to camp for the 8:30 chapel session. Ken (the Kenyan) was in charge and after a few songs and chorus's he launched into the Genesis account of Joseph who by this time was busy avoiding sin with Potiphars wife, and his brothers. And how God used their (the brothers) evil for his own good. An excellent presentation...he had all the campers completely mesmerized. His abilities to engage the audience reminded me a lot of our own Elder Lonnie Arnold. I did manage to video all but the last few seconds of his concluding prayer (the batteries gave up the ghost), so you will be able to judge for yourselves if you care to watch the presentation sometime.

After a brief time with devotions and counselors listning to Bible memory work there was another group game activity that I did film some of ...not quite sure what the object was. Apparently there is one group activity tonight at 5 that is not to be missed, so I have my batteries all charged up and ready to go.

Shortly after lunch (lentils & rice again, very yummy) there was a quiz time to see how well the campers were listing to the previous chapel messages as well as some general Bible trivia. My own son Zach was the master of ceremonies and he acquitted himself very well. Once again all recorded on my video cameras hard drive in high-definition and definately worth sharing.

Paul and I did one final run into Athi River, a small dusty town to collect supplies for tonight and for tomorrow, the concluding day of camp. Tomorrow is also Jamhuri day, Independence day for Kenya, so a national holiday.

Must conclude now so I won't be late for the next competition.
