Hey everyone I'm sorry that i have not been keeping up everyday. In some ways I like to give you the "List" of what is going on. LOL :) So the First day i just relaxed from Jet lag yet i had to learn lots of names. lol If anyone really knows me they know that i have a hard time with learning names. Then the next day we got to visit the school that we were going to have English Camp at. English Camp is where we teach people here in Hungary English words. I got to do my workshop on Nail Designs. Its a great way to talk, and to relate to the people. We also play games and have conversation groups. This is where we talked to the children were their relationship with God was. Also the conversation groups as the theme for the day. Each day has a different theme which relates back to God. So really English Camp is two things 1. English lessons, and 2. VBS. lol To get ready for English Camp each day the team would get up each morning and leave around 10:00 am. We would get to the School by 10:30 or earlier. Then we all would have Group devotions together and get the run down of that days events. After that everyone would go set up games, workshops, and other things that needed done. Then we would have lunch at 11:30 then we would have time after lunch to get what ever else needed done during this time. English lesson started at 1:00pm. at 2:00 was workshops. The workshops included: decorating cupcakes, waffle making, chess, nail designs, making cookies, American dating, ways to get fit, soccer, drums, and world cup fashion. From 3:00 to 5:00 were games and conversation groups. These both went along with the theme for each day. The all over theme was Going West. Dan really made the over all theme relate to God. Then we had dinner. Now all the dinners are all Hungarian dishes. Well kinda. lol During Dinner we would all separate and sit with the campers and talk with them and get to know them. After dinner we would go back up stairs and sing songs, skits, line dancing, more games, and more singing. The Asbury team learned the line dance and taught it to the rest of us. It was very interesting to learn and to watch everyone else learn also. Camp ended at 8:00pm and we would go to where we were staying sleep or watch the world Cup game and start it all over again. The school that we used was the International Christian School of Budapest. It was a very nice building. Although it had no AC so we would walk up and down flights of stairs everyday in 90 degree weather. But the Whole camp was so much fun. The Asbury team, Dustin, the Searls, and I then went on Monday to Vienna. It was an amazing time in Vienna. The Palace was my favorite. to see all the work that went into it is so fantastic. Also to walk around the streets was amazing as well. Oh and to be able to actually get to go into and old Catholic Church (St. Steven's I think it was). WOW! it was amazing. Oh yeah to and from Austria we took a train which was a great experience. Though i didn't know one word the ticket people on the train said to me. lol The Lord has really blessed me to come to Hungary and i thank Him greatly. I Pray that i and a great witness for Him, that i can continue to met people to witness to, and to be able to minister even though camp is done. I also pray that I have enough time and ministry to get all of my internship accomplished. Thank you Lord for your great love and strength! thank you Lord for you compassion and your grace! Thank you Lord for your mercy and forgiveness! Thank you Lord for who you are! Thank You...Thank You...Thank You...Thank You!!!!! May the Lord of Heaven be with me in the last weeks I am here in Hungary.
