one week down...

Our first group of campers left this morning after a great week of SpeakOut. My main job here is to disciple three American staff, so throughout the week I hang out with their respective tutor groups and meet the campers. My D-group is really fun--it has been wonderful to go deeper in the Word and learn more about God with them! It is also so encouraging to see them stepping out in faith to share their lives and the gospel with Hungarian girls every day! A camper from one of my girls' groups accepted Christ as her Savior this week--Praise God!

The general outline of a typical day at camp starts with Morning Class, where the campers are in a classroom setting (this year's theme is Stories). Then they go to discussion groups about the class. The afternoons are spent with their tutor groups (aka the Americans), while the Hungarian staff go out to do random evangelism. In the evenings we hold some type of event, like Staff Hunt.

Here is a small recap of week one in pictures:

Getting ready for camper registration.

American Culture Night:

I was in the Holidays group. What are they doing, you ask? Watermelon seed spitting contest, my friend. Try not to be too jealous.

Our first Culture Night happened to be on the 4th of July. Hungarian sparklers galore!

Sport Day:
The campers learned the rules for basketball, ping pong, American football, soccer, and ultimate frisbee.

Future olympians, right here.
Sport: Picture posing. If you haven't heard about it yet...oh, you will.

Hanging out with Leah's tutor Group! Awesome girls :]

Prayer Night (while the campers were at an outreach where they could hear the gospel in Hungarian)

What is that bright light? The World Cup...it's kind of popular here. You know.

The last night of week one with some of the tutor group girls I got to meet this week!
