English Camp - Day 3

Hello All!

It has been another fabulous day in the beautiful city of Budapest. I feel like we are starting to fall into a routine: teaching English in the mornings, developing relationships with the Hungarian kids in the afternoon, dinner out with our team in the evening, and considerable amounts of laughter before bed.

Speaking for the intermediate class teachers: Jason, Katie, and myself, today was the first day that it felt like we knew what we were doing. We are getting to know our students, beginning to understand their personalities, strengths, and weaknesses. All of this has helped us in developing lesson plans and activities. Due to unforeseen circumstances, our class was without an interpreter today. While this was anxiety producing for me, I was also able to see God's sovereignty in action. Every single thing in class worked out perfectly today. The kids understood our directions, we understood their questions, and I think we all had a good time doing it!

It has been exciting to see the relationships developing so quickly between our students and the Hungarian kids. The love of Christ is shining so clearly through our team, and it is really exciting to see that happen.

Tomorrow we are off to the pool in the afternoon, it will be an extra long day. Please be praying for strength for the team so we can finish our first week strong!

Lots of love to my family, I miss you all like crazy!

In Him,
Mindy
