The weather man said a 100% chance of rain on Monday...but he didn't say it would rain 100% of the day! I think this is really what Arkansas is supposed to be like in the fall. Arkansas was actually in a drought (and it still might be I guess), so it is good that we got a lot of rain. Unfortunately, the added element of tons of rain made us have to adjust our plans a lot. Good thing we here at Pfeifer are flexible. We practiced building tents in the pavilion, played games on the porch of the classroom and spent some time looking at the Geckos in the Kaufman Building. The girls didn't seem to mind too much and they did very well going with the flow. It is a great thing that we constantly have fires going in our cabin because it helps to dry their stuff out whenever we are in there.
My new group of girls is really doing wonderful so far. They are, for the most part, respectful and eager to learn the ways that we do things at camp. Today is their first full day in the classroom, so we'll see if they keep on liking it :) Last night we got to decorate the cabin and the girls decided to go for a "Santa's Workshop" theme. They made it look very nice. It is interesting seeing the things that they come up. They are definitely full of surprises.
Tomorrow will be the first time we camp out as a group, so I am excited to see how it will go. It sure is getting cold out here, so we just need to make sure our girls stay warm and safe! Keep us all in your prayers, as I keep you in mine.
Peace
It sounds as though you are in the midst of a classic Arkansas fall. It will chill you to the marrow and entice you into slumbers that will cause you to awaken with feelings of a life renewed. I love Arkansas falls. My best to you and the ladies...
