English Camp - Day 7

WOW!!!! I can't believe day 7 of English camp is over with! Time has flown by, and our energy levels are still high and running. Today was a long day, but could not have been any better. We had a normal day at camp, but this evening our group split up into smaller groups, and we went to homes of different campers. This was a great opportunity to get to know students on a more personal level.

Jason, Mindy and I are in charge of leading a small group discussion with some advanced students after morning devotions. Normally the students will talk in Hungarian to each other or our translator, and give us the "Sunday-school" answers. Today was a different situation however. The students started to express more in depth how they viewed salvation. A lot of them thought that they could lose their salvation so we spent a lot of time explaining to them that they can't lose their salvation and that any sin is the same in God's eyes; none is worse then another, even though the consequences on Earth could be different. It was really neat to have this in-depth conversation about salvation with the students. I just ask that you pray that God will continue to work in these students hearts to see that God's salvation is always there when you truly repent and ask God into your heart, and that God will keep working on the hard hearts of students who don't want to pay attention during morning devotions.

Tom, Jason and I have also had the opportunity to spend the evening with Adam, a camper who is in Jason, Mindy and my Intermediate English Class during day camp. It was really cool to see his house and how his family lives. We had Beef Goulash, which was phenomenal, and we also had Langosh, which is a pizza like food but the crust is more doughy and it has no tomato sauce but rather a lot of cheese. It was really neat to get to know his parents and sister and to meet his brother. After dinner we played Mexican Train (a game played with dominos). We played for a good 2 hours. While we were playing, Adam went and got his guitar for Tom to play and kept asking him to play songs we learned at camp (Marvelous Light, Everlasting love etc.), it was really neat to see because we don't think his family is Christian. It was just a neat opportunity to see how Adam lives at home.

Time for Bed, We have to get our energy for the rest of the week!

Good Night and in Christ,

Katie
