Today was our first full day of staff week. We started by getting up early this morning around 6:30 and going to breakfast. After breakfast, Mark gave us our assignments for the morning. The girls were assigned to rake the pine straw throughout the camp and the guys were assigned to cut grass. We all worked hard until lunch time and then ate a good meal. After lunch we received three different books: a devotional book “Hidden Manna”, the “Soul Winning” book by Frank R. Shivers, and the Camp Longridge Manual. We discussed part of the Camp Longridge Manual for about an hour. After orientation, there was free time. The praise band had practice and Amanda and Lauren went on the Ropes Course for the first time which was facilitated by Scott, Addie and Josh. Also, some of us took showers and rested for a little while. At 5:00 we had supper and after supper Scott led us in a Bible study. We read and discussed part of Luke 19 for our Bible study. After our Bible study, all of us went to the Ropes Course and cleared up a bunch of tree limbs, pine straw and trees. Around 8:00 we had free time again and got all cleaned up. The praise band had practice and later that night we played dodge ball! The first day went really well and we got a lot accomplished!
