Camp Day One

Today the Internat 2 team went to the kids camp. It was about 30 minutes away from the place where were staying at and was a very bumpy, but fun drive! As soon as we arrived, kids crowded around the van and instantly started trying to talk to us. For the first year people, like me, it took a while for the kids to warm up to you, but as soon as you would ask for a hug they would willing and lovingly embrace you! All they really want is love and to be cared for, and have someone there for them. Talking to them was very hard, even though we had translators. Sometimes we couldnt find the translators, so we had to just shake our head until we could find someone. There were some kids at camp that could kind of translate a little bit for you if you really needed help. I think we all connected with at least one kid, and grew very close to them! The hardest part of my day was when one of the older girls asked me if i would adopt her and take her back to america so she could live with me. I didnt really know what to say because different things were going through my mind, but i ended up telling here i dont think i can right now. Its very sad to think that in a few years she will be on her own and who knows what could happen to her.The rest of the week will be amazing and life changing! Im really looking forward to it!

Love and prayers to all,
