Week 5 – Winding Down the Week - Friday

Friday morning, on the last full day of camp, it seemed that going outside had become Camp CUMCITO's newest water activity! Thankfully, the thunder and lightning cleared off in time for morning activities (after knocking out Internet communications for the entire camp), so campers were able to swim in the pool and the lake despite the weather.

For most of the day it seemed unlikely that the rain would stop in time for the scheduled Friday night carnival. Staff and campers thought that they might have to make the best of the weather that was sent their way. But less than an hour before show time, the clouds rolled back like the proverbial scroll and the sun came out for the first time all day! God sent perfect carnival weather; although the counselors in the dunk tank found it a bit chilly!

There are so many stories of God's working this week! Several counselors had accounts about campers who had bickered and fought early on finally coming around by the end of the week, and even performing little acts of kindness like tying one another's shoelaces. One cabin had four little girls receive salvation this week; they fully understood the Gospel and wanted to accept Jesus as their Savior! Overall, it's been a great week and we look forward to seeing these kids again next year!
