Last day of rest

Once again, the internet eluded us yesterday so we're double posting today. Last night we got to tour the beautiful Alhambra. It was a great experience!! Though we didn't get to tour everything we did last year, we toured it at night which meant that it was several degrees cooler than if we had in the middle of the day. Still, touring a palace around 800 years old is pretty sweet no matter the time of day. Especially with the assorted characters that comprise our group!

Tonight we'll be attending the Iglesia de Reconciliacion. We are super excited to worship with our Spanish brothers and sisters.

Tomorrow, the fury and flurry of English camp will begin bright and early tomorrow morning (early in Spanish time. 9 AM is early here). We'll be waking up for breakfast at 7 AM to get to the school grounds by 9 AM. The camp goes from 10 AM to 2 PM. I know that doesn't sound long. But the time will be intense. Fun but intense. We are looking forward to tomorrow. We are in such a better position to begin tomorrow. We have our lessons planned, our songs written (including a collaboration of John G, Jim McK, and Jesse R rewriting Louie, Louie to incorporate our vocab words each day), our games ready, and our challenges up to date. It will be a bit different running two camps this year but we've had plenty of time to plan, a luxury we didn't have last year.

We're still not sure how many kids are going to turn out tomorrow. It seems the people here are quite similar to New Life people in their time management. They don't sign up until the last minute so it is impossible to get an accurate count. In fact, they have a phrase: "mañana." It means there is always tomorrow to commit. We're hoping for a bunch of kids though!!
