the sprouts are growing
so i'm home from my first week as a Staffer at Campfire. It was intense...even though Sprouts week is only 3 days long, it was extremely tiring. I think that this is mostly because I was trying to figure out my role on staff, and what my responsibilities were, which was stressful. Nautica is doing an awesome job of teaching me how things go, but I forget how to do stuff lots and I mess up my words when i'm talking to people.
In many ways the Sprout campers who came to camp this week reminded me of me. They messed up their words a lot, they couldn't take care of themselves, they had a hard time paying attention when people talked to them, and they (for the most part) tried very hard to please.
Campfire is a humbling experience, an encouraging experience, and a tiring experience. It's an experience. And it is good.

I love learning things that I already knew.

Pray had, pray often.
