Camp Day 1 and 2

We're here in SoCal. After a long bus ride, with not much sleep we finally made it to California for our conference. We got in about 11:00am and and were back on a bus for the beach at Noon. It was a little overcast at the beach but there was enough sun for some of us to get a little bit sunburned. We spent tons of time in the water and shopping and at the snack bar. We got to bed early because we were exhausted from the day at the beach and not much sleep on the bus the night before. It was up early at 7:00 so that we could get to Compton for our work day. We split the group in two 11 people went to the warehouse to help organize for a 1600 person work day they have coming up on Saturday. They mixed paint, organized supplies, and counted and bundled so many supplies, they worked really hard and had a great time and really felt like the work they did today was that first drop in a puddle that has a huge ripple effect. (The camera got left on the bus so no pictures :( ) Everyone else went to a house in Compton, it was about 6 houses down from where we worked last year. It was great to see how far Compton City Church (the new church plant) and especially Pat and Julie Dirkses house have come in the last year. So we had tons of scraping and weed removal in the yard of this other house. We spent all day there and got a lot done. We checked in at Biola and had a great night with worship, teaching and then our youth group time after which we played "shoe game." It's late and I'm tired so that's it for now.

Hope everything is good at home, we're having an amazing time here.
