All The People of The World!
Today, I am going to talk about my favorite time of year: Campmeeting. Once a year, my family travels many hours away for a giant church get-together. We usually wake up at about five or six in the morning so that we can get there before dinner. If we are lucky, we can get there before lunch, but that is only if the traffic is about half as bad as it usually is.
When we finally arrive, the first thing that you see is the giant tabernacle, where most of the services are held. As soon as the car comes to a stop, we get out and head on into the campgrounds office, where you pay one dollar to receive a key to the cabin in which you will stay. Then my sisters and I race our way to our cabins. My older sister and I both have our own cabins, but my two younger sisters share a cabin with my mom, dad and little brothers.
When I get to my cabin, the first thing I do is unlock it, then get to cleaning. I start by taking the blankets and pillows out from underneath the plastic dust sheet, and then I put the plastic underneath my bed and I sweep the floors and put up the curtains. The cabins are made completely by wood, and the campgrounds is HUGE and almost completely filled with Fir trees. After I shoo out the resident spiders and other bugs, I go to the supply cabin, where I get sheets and anything else that I need to comfortably stay in my cabin. Then I get my bags from the car, and take my stuff to my cabin to unpack.
After I finish hanging up my clothes, and making my cabin look like a tiny home, I start walking around the campgrounds. The air is so fresh there! I feel so refreshed just looking at it! It is always a wonderful feeling to be back.
At this point in time, I start looking for friends of mine. People come from all over the WORLD just to enjoy the fellowship of their Christian friends. I am completely serious when I say that people come from all over the world. There are people from Africa, India, Canada, and of course, all over the United States.
It is so much fun talking to you guys, and I hope that you enjoyed this blog post about my favorite time of year!
