Week 2 Camp

Wow, week two of camp is already over. We had a great time again with around 45 kids mostly from the ages of 12-14. This group as a whole was easier to work with because they didn't have the endless energy of the younger group last week. We ran basically the same program as last week, and it worked out well. The kids really enjoyed jumping on the trampoline, going to the river and swimming, and hiking up the mountain. They were really into the skits. Of course there were also some challenging kids but we let them do their own thing and sometimes put them to work, which they actually enjoyed.

Mark didn't stay in a cabin this week because there were more male staff that came. It was also nice to have a break from staying in the cabin because last week was a bit chaotic. The kids loved the campfires and really enjoyed singing. Some of them would also break out into singing at random times durring the week. One of their favorites was King of Kings and Lord of Lords (in Romanian of course). Some of the kids spoke a little english so we could get to know them better without translators.

The weather has been great, it rained one afternoon but that was it. It's been in the 80's and sunny, pretty nice. The one down side to that is that we're running low on water, which was also a problem last week. Most of our water is from mountain springs, and when they dry up we have to get a tank full transported in. We have been enjoying bathing in the river since we can't take showers. The river is really beautiful. We can't wait to post pictures when we get back home, and we have even taken some videos. We were able to check e-mail so we appreciate all of the support we've gotten. We would appreciate continued prayers too! Until next week...
