From the Jane and Finch Girls Apartment!

Morning everyone!
As preparation for camp continues we are also really getting to know everyone we will be working with as well as our house mates. 
A daily return right now is an easy start to our mornings giving us plenty of time for devotions and time to journal as well as maintain our relationship with our God. Camp preparations also begin with devotions and a time of sharing. A couple days ago for the first time every Urban Promise and it's staff and interns where able to sit down with the leaders of the church from where Urban Promise Camp Victory is run out of. It was a great couple hours of hearing about each others lives and seeing how God has all lead us here for this summer. Preparation for camp includes lots of designing posters and banners and a bunch of art stuff. Needless to say i am not the most creative person here. Thankfully God has me working with a graphic designer which is pretty neat......he's really good! Also working on preparing what is called a Passion Project. Each intern has to come up with something that they are passionate about to teach the kids for a half an hour a week. 
At the end of a normal day right now everyone normally returns home by about 7 since it is about a half an hour trip on the TTC. Us interns then have the evening to ourselves mostly. The game Dominion has become a nightly competition and i still have not yet won :( lol Also i was super blessed last night to discover that every house mate of mine enjoys to take a run. Last night Kathrin and i headed out to discover a lovely patch of green in this busy city. 
We have the end of this week and next week for training yet and official camp starts on the 9th of July. Please pray that we get everything we need to completed by this time and especially for the supervisors and camp directors as they have a lot on their plates.  
Also pray for the kids that God will start softening their hearts now for camp and to learn about Him!
