An inside look at the life of Missionary Kids Alex and Maggie Kautz

Maggie:
At kid’s camp we did a lot of crazy things. Most of the kids were really poor. At the kid’s camp there were just over a hundred kids. They might have had a pair of nice clothes, but they were not kids with a lot of clothes that were nice clothes. We were there for about four days and on the last day we did a icky dirty project. We all wore clothes that we had already worn and did an obstacle course. At the course we took turns of teams and what the teams had to do at the first place whoever knew how to swim had to jump in the pool with their clothes on and find six plates, six bowls, six mugs, six forks and six spoons. Then we had to walk through this plastic tunnel and wait for our team. Then we went to a sheet of plastic and they put soap on it and we had to slide down it. And then probably the best part was that there was a course called Spider Man. It was a giant web connected in between two trees and you had to hold on to a yellow rope while you climbed over a black rope. And then after your whole team gets over you would run around the fence to the next course. Then you would climb under yellow cords through a bunch of mud and aren’t supposed to make your head touch the cord. It was fun!

Hi there,
Alex here! Just wanted to tell you about kids camp. Here is what I did.
First I arrived at the camp late at night. Then I ate dinner and went to bed. The next day I ate breakfast and got choosed for a group. I was a “seres vivientes”. My group went to do prayer groups. After that we ate lunch. Then we did stations. Then we got pool time! After that we ate dinner. Then we had a camp meeting. After that we went to bed. We repeated this schedule for the rest of the camp. I made friends with a young boy named Lucas. It was hard to say good-bye. I hope I meet him again.
