After a long drawn out welcoming day, we headed to Bird River Bible Camp. During the three days we spent there we had sessions lead by John Unger during which we spent time mapping out our lives and looking at how the the things we've experienced in life have shaped who we are today. We also played a bunch of games in order to get to know each other better and ate WAY too much food. Some of us bonded by playing frisbee and exploring the camp. Unfortunately we had no access to telephone at camp (the phone tower had been struck by lightening), so one afternoon some of us bonded on a long walk to the nearest payphone.
Prior to drop-off day I had been terrified and filled with doubt about whether or not I should be going on this program, but even after just a few days I was reassured that this was where God wanted me to be and I can't wait to see what the next eight months will hold.
