After two weeks of a full house, last week found Bailey and I (Stacy) alone for four days as Brandon went off to camp with the high school students. He was the counselor for the senior boys and thoroughly enjoyed his time with them. They had opportunities to discuss boy issues candidly and Brandon is hopeful that this past week will pave the way for more discipleship opportunities and perhaps even regular meetings with some or all of the boys. Here's a picture of him with the other staffers. He's the one to the left of center in the tight ACA polo, knee socks, and MY shorts! :)
While at camp, the seniors went on a "seniors only" excursion to a little river on the camp grounds and took some silly pictures together:
Traditionally, Wednesday of camp is "family day" where the parents come and visit their students. Bailey and I hitched a ride with the kindergarten teacher (whose daughter was up at camp) and visited Brandon. In a way, though, it made us miss each other more than if we had just waited until he got home Thursday afternoon. That said, it was nice to see Brandon and to see a new side of Paraguay. Until now, we've been stuck in the city on crowded streets lined with houses and businesses. The ride out to camp was a glimpse into a more rural area and THAT was a sight for sore eyes.
And one final note: After three months of city-only driving, with maximum speeds of maybe 40 miles per hour, zooming along at 70+ seemed downright reckless!
