Saturday, July 23rd

I can't believe it's already Saturday and the first week of camp is already over! I give all glory to God for such a successful first week! Today was super relaxing and very refreshing. We were able to sleep in and eat a late breakfast. After breakfast we met up as a team and had a challenging and encouraging message from Tom from Hebrews 4 about our Great High Priest. We then went to the mall and ate lunch and were able to spend some time shopping and having fun. After that we spent the afternoon at the hotel resting. For dinner we ate at this amazing crepe restaurant. With a variety of crepes from ham and cheese to nutella and banana crepes-yummy! After dinner we went to Gellart Hill to see the beautiful city!

I remember on Monday how open and eager the Hungarian students were willing to share their lives with us-that in itself is truly the grace of God! They are such lovable and awesome kids! During camp we are so blessed to interact with individual students and help them develop their English speaking skills. The lesson times are going well, and my teammates (Kyle, Arne, and Shea) are doing an outstanding job at really jumping in and taking ownership of their responsibilities. Also, being flexible and adapting our lessons to better fit the needs of our students.

I was blessed to have shared the Gospel and my testimony with this one girl at camp. She told me she is searching for what she wants to believe in. Pray that God would show her truth and save her! She is coming back next week and I can't wait to talk with her again.

As the days go on friendships among students and our team grow stronger. During all the activities, lessons, lunch, chapel, and small groups would you please pray that God first, would open the eyes of the blind and soften the hardened hearts so that they would see their need for our Savior, Jesus Christ and second, that God would use these relationships to show the students His great love for them. Pray that God would protect the kids from evil. That he would keep His word and love in their hearts and leave no room for the devil, the world, or their flesh to come in and snatch that away from them. Pray also for the kids as they leave the camp that they would get plugged in with a Christ centered church.

I would also ask you to please please pray for our health! Many of our students have not been feeling 100% because of stomach aches and such!

To God be the glory!!
