Working ahead on verses is OK. Say them in order, say regular verses before bonus.  
Can borrow a Bible, want these kids to want a Bible at the end of camp.  
50% chance of rain today.
 
Isaac and Joe (Pine)

- Rough night with boys staying up late
- All have at least some Bible knowledge
- Some vague survey answers--right, but maybe not a deep understanding?
- Colby - wants to hang out with other Christians most at camp, Isaac shared gospel last year, 12 years old. Saved last year? Brody is his brother.
- Third year for Brody, second year for Colby. Have a lot of friends here this week.
 
Jon and Josiah (Oak)

- All go to church
- A lot are young, struggling with filling out survey
- Zach: Jesus is Father, Son and Holy Spirit--might need some explaining
- Josiah Eisenberger - last year he thought was lost, no other notes from last year that he was clear on this
 
Anna and Leah (Maple)

- Brooke - a handful, argues with everything, doesn't want to do anything, wants to know when we're going to end everything. Dad is an atheist, has rejected "untrue" Bible. Mom is not this way. Told Joel at parent-teacher meetings that Brooke has a lot of questions, has a seeking heart, but she definitely marches to a different beat!
- Half of girls are pretty solid, other half were baptism and good works.
- Maddie, professed salvation last year, had good survey answers
- Daisy is here, late arrival
 
Jackie and Julie (Birch)

- Almost all put down "believing in Christ" for "how to get to heaven"
- Dana, Tessa put down other answers -- good works, going to church
- Kaitlyn - never been away from parents this long, hard time sleeping
 
One more kid coming today, one more Tuesday. No cancellations yet!

Tonight is hat night at supper. Remind Nathan to announce. Archery class cancelled. Only two registered. McKenna to art class, Brody to sports class.
 
Jon and Josiah (Oak)

- Three guys not sure about relationship with God: Zach, Kael, Brody. Asked what is not right, they were not sure.
- Jackson had conversation with Phil, wants to talk more today
- Zach wants to talk more to Phil too, has not been open to spiritual talks in previous years
- Caleb, wanted to get saved after last night's message, talked to Phil but didn't have much of a conversation with him.
 
Joe and Isaac (Pine)

- Jackson affected by message last night--afraid of dying, not sure if saved, thinks he was but wonders if he's doubting. His mom told him he got saved when he was 4. Still wants to talk to Phil today.
- Devotions went well, actively listening
 
Leah and Anna (Maple)

- Sophia confused about "the Rock" song, went through Matt 7:24 about building on the rock or sand

Jackie and Julie (Birch)

- Not too much for devotions last night--trying to get to bed
- Some tension between them starting to build
 
Joe and Isaac (Pine)

- Isaac did devotions, struggling in thinking about what to say. Jackson saying he was saved yesterday. Ethan professed salvation. Colby thinks he's saved. Nate Mason says he's saved. Others say they are saved.
- Josh very attentive during meeting. Hasn't met with Phil again since or talked to Isaac. Pray he would open.
- Ethan came with Zach and Jackson. Ethan made profession of faith. Ethan professed salvation last year on the last day of camp. Is there an issue of security?
- Another boy (not sure who) wanted to talk with him, maybe Isaiah
 
Jon and Josiah (Oak)

- Some sort of urgency with Kael? Went to bed reading Revelation. Wanted to know what hell was like. Radio turns off around other boys--he stops thinking about spiritual things.
- Titus is leaving today.
- Zach came in and talked with Phil--not saved. Shared John 3:18 with him.
 
# Thursday, 8/9/2018

Joe and Isaac (Pine)

- Good night with devotions
- Jackson, has made profession of faith, gospel is clear, still concerned and worried, Joey talked to him about anchor verses

- Josh still wants to talk with Phil, was feeling sick yesterday
 
Jon and Josiah (Oak)

- Caleb DeSantell, very confused, Josiah not sure where to go with him

Jackie and Julie (Birch)

- Juli - talked with Brooklyn outside for a long time. Talked about a lot of things, says she is 100% saved. She is very confused and disruptive.
- Jackie - Tessa talked to Tammy, flippant, doesn't seem to matter much. As they talked she got more serious. Could be thinking more about whether she is saved or not.
- Moriah and Grace went and talked to Tammy - Moriah came back and looked up verses that Tammy had given her. Both made professions with Tammy. Moriah was upfront with not being ready.
 
Joe and Isaac (Pine)

- Nate Mason - not much desire for the Bible after camp last year, usually assured from Scripture, prone to have fearful thoughts, but is comforted by Scripture.
