CAMDEMONIUM
Cam's second blog post! Today was amazing and actually probably one of the top school visits I've had! Our guide took us to the school that she teaches P.E. at and also the game of basketball. When we first arrived we split our team up into groups and I got paired with Coach Boomer. We both walked and talked through 4 classrooms spreading why we are here in their country. Our main points that Boomer and I touched on were 2 things. First, the obvious, basketball. Second, and the main reason we are here, love. We want to spread love to everyone we come in contact with. Not only love, but the joy that comes along with loving one another and the joy of having the ultimate love, with the ultimate person! After going in these classrooms and talking and handing out little gifts to the kids, we walked out to where the basketball court is at and started talking to all the kids that were watching the clinic the Dallas team was putting on. Handing out little gifts, such as; bracelts, rings, candy, spinner tops and little beach balls. Once the kids saw we were passing out the gifts, a swarm of about 100 kids crowded around me, pushing, to get a gift. I didn't have enough for the kids, so I had to put it away before it got out of hand. Then after that craziness, one of the kids had a piece of paper asking for an autograph. Once all the kids saw this one kid asking, a sea of kids with papers, books, arms, hands, were in line wanting an autograph. I feel like no kid left without getting an autograph from one of the players. I had to step back and say to myself, how awesome is the person that sent me here and made this all possible, that i could be alive and be able to impact and touch kids lives. A stupid autograph, by a not-at-all famous person like me, being considered by these little kids, as amazing! I am completely humbled through my ultimate love and I can not express my love for him enough! When we all got back in the van coach Levi told me that wasnt pandemonium, it was camdemonium!
