June 15

  ===   For the past few days, we have been training from 8:30 am until 5 pm. We are learning songs to sing with the children, and working on lesson planning. Ray and I got placed in the same camp (thank god!) and tomorrow we find out exactly where our camp will be located. Our group consists of three supervisors and us. That rocks! People that were placed in other groups keep calling us the "super group." I can't wait to get started. We meet our host families starting on Saturday, which is also very exciting.

     I got to stay with Ray the whole time, even though the apartment is supposed to be only guys. We have a small room to ourselves, which has been a blessing because we were both really sick. Plus, it helps knowing we got a little extra time together before the camps. I have met a lot of interesting people with amazing stories and backgrounds. What an adventure! ===
