Wednesday. The home stretch. I think our team is definitely feeling the urgency of the final days. We've made some great, long-lasting friendships and so our focus the past couple days has really been to trade in the surface, get-to-know you conversations for intentional conversations about the Gospel. I know our team would love nothing more than to leave for home knowing we took every opportunity the Lord gave us to share about Him. So pray that we would be listening to the Spirit's leading over the next two days and that we would obey His nudgings!
That being said, I should probably share a few details about our day today. The camp schedule is basically the same every day, which you've probably figured out by now through all the other blog entries. One thing that was a little different today was that we watched a video testimony from Nick Vujicic, the actor from the film Butterfly Circus (which Brad mentioned in yesterday's post). He is a man who was born with no arms or legs and his testimony centered around the fact that no matter what your circumstances are, God has a good purpose in mind for your life. If you want to check out a video of him, here's a link:

Tonight we went out to host homes again like we did last week. Tom and I went to the home of sisters, Zsofi and Ildiko. They live with both parents and 8 year old twin brothers. We had some delicious goulash followed by an interesting pasta dish. We then heard an impromptu mini concert from the boys on the piano and recorder. A game was suggested and it was basically a very simple version of Cranium...all in Hungarian. :) But we actually managed very well, and the language barrier was not really an issue. Dessert was a wonderfully sweet watermelon, and then as we were preparing to leave Zsofi told us that the family wanted to sing us a song as a gift. So we were serenaded with Psalm 42 in beautiful harmonies. It was a touching end to a really enjoyable night.
Thanks so much for all your prayers over the last week and a half! Pray for a strong finish and that we will use our remaining time for God's glory!
See you all soon!
Sharon
