Greetings from Boot Camp from the Malawi team!Everyone arrived safely from the airport and some of those who drove told us all about the cross-country adventures they had experienced. We also learned that we have a lot of "legacy members," who have siblings or parents who came to Teen Missions as teenagers. What a cool experience for these teenagers to walk where their parents once walked! Our team is a BIG fan of the daily Obstacle Course. They really enjoy the competitive nature of it, but have loved figuring out how to work together to accomplish the tasks.

Today we are starting with construction classes and evangelism classes. In music class Bethany, Halle, and Honor seemed to really enjoy learning the kids songs to use in church presentations. We did "Rock, Sword, Shield" which has a lot of hand motions and sound effects which everyone seemed to appreciate doing.

Some of them have shared how this is their first time camping, but they are doing really well! They're learning how to live and work with one another. Our team has also learned the joys of Florida afternoon rain! Instead of complaining, everyone has been excited about the rain! They enjoy the cool it brings from the Florida heat!

One of the highlights of our days is our nightly rally. Last night was got to use some of the songs we learned in Orientation. I think everyone enjoyed getting to worship and praise with everyone in the Big Top.

These teenagers are rock stars. Genuinely, as leaders we are so impressed with how much joy they bring to each other and us. We are so excited to see what the Lord does this summer.
