Helena 2012
Helena 2012 Wk 2 Camp
Day 1 Monday
What a wonderful start to ACC Camp
Week 2. The morning started and ran so smoothly. There was a hiccup here and a hiccup there but
we adjusted. Our Blessings Team was called
to registration and immediately sent to make 184 bag lunches as no other help
was available. Kate’s life was probably the easiest ever as she explained. She couldn’t tell us enough about how great
the waterproof forms were that Charles Wheless developed for her over a two
year period. If you combine that with Cat
and Mollie’s pre-testing swimmers, life was great.
From the pool, Hope was touched by
the activity and attitudes of those doing adult swim and Elsie was so excited
about having so many volunteers to help after aging out of camp. The community IS getting involved and taking
up slack!
Taylor and Bill had a hot but good
day on the courts. T was really excited about seeing Fred, a student and camper
from 2 years ago. He hurried up to
Taylor to tell her how good he had gotten in 2 years,
After baking cookies at New Light,
the Blessings Committee did an quick lunch at Granny Dee’s. Granny had made a sweet potato pie especially
for Bob. We then ventured out into the
county delivering cookies. Stops were
made at the fire department and the visitor’s center. We then visited with two families and delivered
cookies and love. We visited with a gentleman
that lost his wife in April. His
daughter was there visiting from Oklahoma.
We were so blessed. What a
wonderful man, so humble and so welcoming.
From there we met with a wonderful lady you know from last year, Miss
Helen and two of her children. Miss Helen
told us that four years ago she quit counting her foster children at 125.
Our venture into lunch making turned
from unexpected chore to a blessing. We
worked at The Family Center with 3 lovely ladies: Gracie Gonner, Exec. Dir. of the center and
two Pastor’s wives, Camille Hale and Luella Davis.
At the closing of our 9:30 summary
meeting; Brooke Gerber, our intern closed us with prayer.
From the Delta, Goodnight!
