First Day: Going to Camp

The bus arrived early this morning at Apalina and the week of children's camp began with the long ride to the camp about 25 minutes from Sibiu (over 4 hours from Apalina). Anna, Bonnie, Katie, Dan, Piroska, and Ludai were on the bus. Adel and Attila were driving a VW wagon, and Paul was driving the Gypsy Wagon with Adel Nagy, Reghin church member, as a thrill-seeking passenger. I quote, "The children were sick as dogs" from the bus ride. Katie manned the barf bags. The rest of the team on the bus was struggling not to join the children rather than Katie. Every time the children have "issues" on the bus because the only time they get to ride a big bus for so long is going to camp. The children were good and listened when corrected. Bonnie says they had a great bus driver.

The big shopping trip took place in the afternoon for "food" and surprises -- like ice cream, etc. The first day started great with singing and introducing the theme of the week: "This is the day the Lord has made let us rejoice and be glad in it." Psalm 118:24.

Last word was at 11:08 p.m. (Romania time). The team was headed to bed getting ready for the first full day of camp.
