7/28/14
Started off the morning getting all packed up and ready to go. I had all my stuff downstairs before most the youth had started to move. Then Michael came up and made sure they were all moving. We started putting everything we could into the vans and getting ourselves all moved out of the retreat center. We went to breakfast that morning and had a good nourishing meal. Then we came back and did some clean up of our area. We like to leave places cleaner than when we first arrived. The only thing we couldn't do was vacuum since they have a staff that does that.
After that we had our worship time. We sang a lot of good songs. I suggested a song I remembered from elementary school. When Michael sang it it was a bit different from what I remembered. It was great through and worked out beautifully. We then had a time of confession and absolution. The weather worked out perfectly for us to burn the pieces of paper we had written earlier on during the retreat. It was definitely a God sighting. Then we did our last candle time where we made images out of playdough that had huge meaning to us. There was a lot crosses which just shows how important everyone's faith is to those who attended. We ended in a circle prayer and with that headed out from Camp Omega.
I spent the rest of the day at home just taking it easy so I could start the healing process. I've been drinking lots of water, taking some cough medicine, as well as sucking on some cough drops. Overall it's been getting better but when you cough you just want it to end.
Today I learned about different ways to sing songs. It is cool to see how different people and congregations sing the different songs and make them their own.
