Headcount! Clump! =)

Hey

Today was the first day of VBC and it was absolutely...stunning. =)
I promised I'd try to write during the actual camp and I'm kind of glad that I will. It's really great thinking about how awesome the kids are. =)

So the name of this post might seem pretty weird eh?
But they're my most fond memories of today. haha and it's just today.
It was amazing just seeing the progression today and seeing how much the kids evolved and opened up in just one day.

So at the beginning of the day, I was sitting there at my bin and I was really nervous because I didn't know what to expect. And this part was actually the most nerve racking from what I remember of last year. Last year I was sitting there and my kids would come in and I would have no clue what to say.
It was kind of like that this year. Except I didn't even have my crew leader. So there I am, feeling kind of inadequate because the assistant beside me is so much more pro than me. Just cause she is. =) Haha
So the first kid came and she didn't really talk and neither did the second. And so I had a bunch of kids with me and I was kind of really scared because I was trying to start some conversations through asking them questions but they didn't really reply. And I was thankful that like the 3rd kid was pretty talkative and I was...well encouraged I guess.

So when my crew leader came, there was one more kid and she was like quite the diva but I'll talk about that later. =P
So I was scared leaving the gym and going to Bible activity that I'd have a super quiet, awkward group but I went into Bible Study and it was pretty fun because some of the kids called each other like weird food items. Like I was Chocolate Milk Chris. And somebody else was hamburger =P

But yea, by lunch time I was having fun with them and there were awkward moments where I was trying to talk to somebody and they just stared back at me.
Oh and the name of my kids...

I'll talk more about them later as it's getting late. But I'm absolutely thrilled to go again tomorrow =P and it's an amazing experience because they're the sweetest things ever. Well maybe not all of them =P but it's just so awesome because I thought i'd be distracted but...well i'm not really because the kids are just that awesome =)
will post soon =P
Bye
