Presov Camp!!!!

Well we just finished our first camp and let me tell you, it was amazing!!! I have never felt so many connections with students. It is also exciting to me that I will be in this town in the fall so I will still be able to connect with the students. It was so neat to see the students connecting right away and engaging in what we were doing. Typically it takes a while for students to be comfortable, but at this camp it happened very fast. During the evening we were doing a new thing for English camps. We were going through the story of of God and having discussion groups about it. This was very hard at first because the students were not really wanting to interact, but as the week progressed we changed things and it got better. We are still trying to figure out changes we can make for the next couple camps. I really connected well with the guys in my cabin. They were really fun guys to be around. One of them was an exchenge student in the U.S. in California. The other two guys were guys from last year that I never was abled to connect with. They were all excited about camp and seemed to be very interested in the Story of God. I am excited about building better relationships in the fall with them. I believe a lot of the students were really touched by the stories of God. Please pray that God will continue to draw the students towards him. Also pray that the students will want to come to clubs during the year. I am not able to put up pictures at this point in time, I will later. Please pray for the next camp in Levice. Pray for the students, Slovak team, American team, and my intern team. Pray that we will pe relying on God first and that the students will be drawn to God. Pray also for protection for the camp.
