HUME/SD13JH End Day 1

Day started off very well...all of the students were at the church on time (7:00am) and we made it off campus by 7:35am....the drive was uneventful, and without problems (a huge prayer request when traveling 350 miles w/ Jr Highers in a 15 passenger van and pulling a trailer!).

We got to lunch in Yuma and had our choice of Pita Pit, Chipotle, Del Taco, In and Out, and Panda Express...we didn't go hungry!

Arrived at camp about 3:30, checked in quickly, got the luggage unloaded by 4:20. Dropped the girls off first, and the guys carried the ladies' luggage to their front door...

After dropping the girls off, took a quick pick of "just the boys" (see pic) and then it was off to our dorm

We got our gear all in and then headed to dinner...tons of great food...(not the old-school stereotype of "camp food"...it's always legit here at PLNU!)

After dinner was "The Opener",  a 15ish minute production w/ film, live action, singing, dancing, cops, robbers, and more!

The Opener set up the plot/theme for the week, as "Phoenix Dark" represents the person of Jesus...and all week the students will have to ask, contemplate, and ultimately decide "who is Phoenix Dark"....

Took a couple of pics of our kids before the opener...they did a great job of securing two front rows for our group.

Very excited to see what God does this week, as 7 of our 10 students have never been to HUME/SD, and the 3 that have are super pumped to be here!

I've also already had a couple of pretty awesome and open talks w/ a couple of the Jr High guys on a 1 on 1 level. Totally excited to see how God uses some of my past to speak be able to speak into their lives...
