LAMP Bible Camp Day 5



Our last day of LAMP Bible camp was a beautiful sunny day. During the night, we lost power for a little while—and it went off again just before we were going to start our Bible story. It worked out well, though, because we all sat on the front steps and heard the story of Jesus healing ten people who had leprosy. Did you know that only one person went back to say thank you to Him? We realized that people who had leprosy back then were very lonely because no one wanted to be near them. It was pretty neat to understand that God is there for when we feel all alone. By the time we done singing, the electricity had come back on, so we went downstairs to make thank you cards. We learned how to make our own envelopes—that was fun! Later on in the day, we began to smell smoke. We looked out over the lake, and the smoke seemed to be rolling in. We heard there was a forest fire along the winter road.

In the evening the wonderful people of the community and St. Peter's Anglican Church had a wonderful dinner for us, and presented us with beautiful gifts. We hope to keep in touch with all of our friends until we come again next year. We will be praying for you all!
