Monday in KC

After the two day beforehand prep, Monday soon rolled around. Waking up super early for the 45 minute drive into town was not ideal, but with the insane car I was in, it was all worth it! Soon after we got to the church, kids started rolling in. It was such a joy seeing their smiling faces each morning! I was part of the memory verse group so each morning I would help the kids learn a new verse. They were all so excited and picked it up quickly which was surprising. I had the pleasure of working with the kindergarten and older age group(mostly kindergarten). They were very energetic and kept us on our feet all day! We played many games such as tag, soccer, ninja, and many more. Later we had arts and crafts which was a good balance between crazy outdoor fun, and a more calmer fun; it avoided complete chaos.
Later that day, my team(Iglesia) headed to the park with the other teams (Saint Johns, and Kind City Bible) to hold a sports camp event. We had different sports such as soccer, baseball, and cheer, and while all this was going on we also had a craft and face paint table. 
After our first day with the kids had ended we headed over to Saint Johns church for dinner instead of returning to camp because it was pouring. There, we were treated with dinner and entertainment. Young girls ranging from 3-17 performed a traditional Mexican dance. We had chapel at St. Johns which was the perfect ending to the night. We headed back to camp around 9 and didn't get back until about 10. Now, nights in King City are cold and with the unpleasant addition of rain, it was beyond freezing. My tent and the tent right next to us merged and somehow managed to fit 7 people into a 4 person tent. We called ourselves the 7 dwarfs! It was a tight squeeze but it kept us warm so we were happy. Finally, day one was coming to a close and in the morning day two would be filled with all new fun and surprises.
