Camp EDGE has ended and I have just 2 weeks left before I make the journey home. I have mixed feelings about going – I’m ready to get back to the comforts of home (I want to swim in a vat of anti-itch cream), but I can already tell that I’ll want to return to Liberia someday. With camp coming to a close, the goodbyes have already started and there are going to be quite a few people here that I will miss dearly.
I’m spending this week volunteering at my church’s Vacation Bible School and working to renovate the school library in the afternoons. I’ve grown to love my church here. I’m co-leading the small group for 11-12 year olds and loving it! The concept of VBS is the same here as it is back home; the execution, however, is quite different. There isn’t much in the way of planning ahead (I think it’s just not a big part of their culture), so things like making photocopies in advance or compiling arts and craft materials in advance aren’t really happening. But we make do and have fun!
