Day 2

Tonight we shared our holy moments that we experienced today.



The Blessings group went to give away free watermelon in the community. The disappointing part was that no one took any, but there was a holy moment when one woman who asked where they were from. They told her that they are from NC and she recognized what they are here for from reading it in the paper. She thanked them for what they were doing.



There were many holy moments today at swim/kids camp even with the huge increase of children. That in itself was holy because that means that we are reaching out to more children. However, that also meant for a harder day. There were still plent of holy moments that came out even in the hard times. At the pool, some of our own children (John Sherman and Carlie Wilson) both accomplished a lot! John proved that he was better than he thought by diving at the deep end! Carlie beat every boy in her group too! Levi (a former intern) shared that one of his boys wanted to pray at the end of the lesson and he thanked God for his swim teachers. In kids camp, I had my own holy moment. I had a hard time getting my kids to clean up after themselves after lunch and I was cleaning up the last little bit when a boy from another group that I didn't know came up and asked if he could help me. I was taken off guard because I was used to children not wanting to clean up or listen. I smiled and thanked him but told him I didn't need him because I had picked up everything. But that one little moment was the highlight of my day.



We had a baby shower for a local girl who has been helping out with camp for a couple of years now. It was pretty evident that she probably wouldn't be getting a baby shower, so we had some donated baby clothes, bedding, and toys. Looking at her grandmother's eyes and her eyes was a very holy moment because you could see how blessed they were.



Some prayer requests are some family friends of the Hawkins (the Britts) as they just lost their son to colon cancer and now the wife has just been diagnosed with cancer. Elsie mentioned to pray for the Manns. But a praise is that George and Vivian's son finally sold his house and now they are prepared to move back to Raleigh! Tomorrow is also their anniversary!
