YF camp! xD

Its been quite long since I updated! yikes.. it was because I went to my first christian camp! To me, it was awesome.. I learned a lot from the camp and got to know more people better too.. We stayed in Dominic Villa..


My dorm was named Berea and our dorm leader was Esther Lim. She was really good in giving instructions. =) I was first in Geraldine's team named Aquila. She was very helpful and was vry thoughtful in writing each of her team members a message before she left the camp.. Then later they change our groups so my new group was Barnabas and the group leader was Michelle Chan. She is a very creative person. She wrote a song for a memory verse that we needed to memorise for our dorm. And we won!! =D Besides that, she also helped me solve a problem that had been bothering me. Thanks Michelle! In our dorm, Charnice planned for us to play guardian angel. So at first my guardian angel was J-Anne then she changed to Harmony. My mortal was Michelle Hoe. Thanks guardian angels for guarding me.. lol.. xD n I hoped u liked the letter that I gave you Michelle!


The first day, we got our camp manuals and I during the connect activity we learned about drinking,clubbing, and movies.. it was actually stated in the bible indirectly.. Before this I also did not know that it was in the bible but my dad always advised me about this things.. at least now I know about it..I'm really grateful for that.. Then at night we had rally. And Pastor Connie taught us about the soul,spirit and body. My dad always tried to teach me bout those things but I never payed close attention. But Pastor Connie made it interesting. =)


On the second day, we played outdoor games. Our group didn't win but the games was quite interesting actually. Throughout all the game stations, we each needed to save the water in our cups and at the end of the game the group with the most water wins. But it got quite tough for me when we each needed to slide down a hill slide (as I call it). I was quite scared at first but I manage to face my fears thanks to the encouragement of some of my group members. =)


On the third day, we learned about backsliding. It means that sometimes as christians start doing things that we know we shoudn and it will lead us down the wrong road. So the pastor told us how about the roots and results of backsliding and how to return from backsliding. Then we learned about boy-girl relationship like is it part of God's will and how to behave in a relationship.


On the last day, we learned that Jesus washed the disciples feet including Judas' even when he knew that Judas was going to betray him. Those of you who have a bible, go read John 13:3-16. The passage showed us about humility especially the part where Jesus said "If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet , you also ought to wash one another's feet." Then the church leaders actually washed our feet. Most of us cried including me. I was touched. Then later we washed each other's feet. After that, we had to pack up and we reached the church at about 5:20 p.m.


Oh yea I forgot to tell that we did worship in the mornings at at nights. Many people got touched.. I want to thank Esther, Delicia, Pastor Connie, and Michelle Chan for praying for me.. May God bless all of you! =)


So it went better than I have expected. The food was ok too. Tomorow I might blog about my next camp that I went to.. hope that I can go to this camp next yr again! =)
