day off: 2nd session

well my kids are crazy!!! ahh! they are the craziest group of kids i've ever had. they are constantly off the walls and i'm constantly yelling at them. they have no idea how sick i am right now (not of them, i'm talking literally). i'm obviously NOT praying enough or thinking about the Lord because i wouldn't be in this situation. but no, its not really that bad. the past few days have been really good. as far as devos go, i have no idea what they are feeling or what they really believe. i forgot how much of an awkward age 13 can be. one of my kids is training to be the next tweeder (varsity blues) of nashville, tennessee. he makes me laugh a lot though, which is good. some of the stuff that makes me laugh is inappropiate but i want these kids to know that i'm not a robot and i don't always yell and scream.

my tribal comp team is UNDEFEATED! yes, these kids are eight years old and they are dominating the osage team everyday. we will do well in ultimate solution. today, they were seriously slacking but they picked it up at the end to win the game, i was semi-proud of them. caddo NEEDS to win this second session or we will be DONE for the summer. osage has not lost 3rd session in like 13 years if that's any indication of the domination of the tribe. it will be interesting to see who they put as chief of caddo for 3rd session. i will most likely be on SWAT but i don't know yet. we'll see what happens!

i'm doing my best to make a lot of new friends. what i hate is that its wayy to much surface level friendships, which BLOWS. oh well. i don't want to be that kid that no one knows or anything. i feel like everyone at least knows my name, even when i don't know theirs. a lot of the people here are awesome and i've been blessed enough to get some co's that are nothing short than amazing. i wish i had them this session but no it didn't work out.

as i go through all of my friends' facebook back home, i cringe inside because i feel like i'm missing so much. will things be the same when i get back? i mean, things were already in an awkward place anyway with most of the friends i had and now that i'm gone for another 3 months, what's going to happen when i get back? i feel like i've already changed so much during my time here. i can assure you that the hector that left for camp ozark a month ago will not be the same hector that is returning to austin august 20-something. that scares me.

prayer requests:
my kid marshall - this kid has a HORRIBLE home life and yesterday he told my co all about it. he believe that God is real but he doesn't believe in God. pray that i could love him unconditionally and that God would shine through my co's and I during this last week of second session. i've been pretty hard on this kid because he seriously works my nerves.

cabin 54 - this is my cabin this session. they are crazy. ridiculous. pray that i God will give me the words to say and the right actions.

me - strength, that i would get over my sickness, plans for third session

write me! love you all.
