I hiked an hour into the camp with Mala and Tarrah. We had quite a scenic drive and hike, and the rain even held off the whole day! I look up to both of these women so much; Tarrah even hiked the whole time with Jovi on her back! It really was so wonderful to speak frankly with these women and learn how they truly live (as both of them once lived in the US) and hearing of the challenges and victories they have faced...
Anyway, it was fun to observe the camp for the day! I found it ironic that we made girly flower pens and painted our nails at this "wilderness" camp, where there is an emphasis on the "rugged outdoors". The girls tent-camped and even went kayaking (jealous!) and rappelling!
Jesus, I want to thank you again for not allowing me to go the camp. They were more than fully staffed and I think I was much more effective helping Mala in that time they were away. Also, for some reason I had the "Americanized" version of camping in my head; I pictured dorms with cot beds, warm (as opposed to the cold and overcast weather it actually was) and I packed very little warm clothing in the first place! Thank you, Lord for ensuring my health, as I would have inevitably grown sick and probably irritable. Thank you for changing my heart and for your provisions.
