We were blessed with lovely people for guests who both experienced the wonders of the camp and gracefully overlooked our rookie mistakes:
They cheerfully labeled the "elderly grandmother hopping out of the Jolly Trolley to push us up the hill" as a unique adventure. And, they were kind when half of our hosting team vanished for a few hours to consult on and confer with the (official) medical team about an infant who needed a weight check. A food scale in the dining hall, parchment paper and a cookie sheet got 'er done.
Sadly, the Jolly Trolley incident was not captured by anyone's smart phone but Tom's pediatric adventure and my great blessing to get to hand out Bibles to new believers on the last morning of camp were.
God works in many ways and we are so often surprised by Him, aren't we? From giving an older woman the gift of being able to be our hero by pushing a stalled golf cart up off a gravel path to figuring out how to help a young mom and her infant when the necessary equipment is not available, God is never restricted by limited imagination like we often are.
We are re-energized and more excited than ever for our year in Scotland helping Young Life serve the Lord. And who knows what THAT will look like? 😊
