A Quick Update
I have not been great at keeping up my blog for the last few weeks because life has been absolutely crazy full. I took a couple of weeks to recover from surgery in the middle of May, and then I’ve been so busy I’ve had a hard time sitting down to type things in the computer. June and July were all about promoting camp and training camp teams for the three camps in Bratislava, Lucenec, and Presov. These camps just ended, and so far, we’re hearing from the national teams that they were possibly the best ever. Our interns were incredible, pouring themselves out for the benefit of others every day. We also had three amazing teams from churches in America come to help out with those camps. (Thank you, Shandon Baptist, North Star Church, and Celebration Church!) The summer interns left on Thursday, and a team from North Point Community Church in Alpharetta, Georgia arrived late last night to help with our own camp in Zilina this week, so we’re still in the midst of camp here!
I spent the last week and a half hanging out with the girls from my university class. We wanted to spend some intentional time together, so we planned things for every day. We had a movie day, we went hiking in the high tatras, we played cards a lot, we sat in the park and played games, and we went for a few days to a cottage up in the hills surrounding Zilina. We just came back from the cottage a few days ago, and now a group of us are all participating in the Zilina camp this week. We leave this afternoon, so I’m home trying to do laundry and re-pack to leave again.
I wanted to put pictures of all of these things on here so you could see some of the beautiful places we’ve been, but my camera broke and I need to get those pictures from someone else. I’ll post them as soon as I can.
So…we’re off to camp again! Oh, and by the way, it is HOT here!! The temperature was 97 degrees yesterday with a real feel of 103, and it is not supposed to fall below the 90s for a good while. I know that sounds normal for everyone in America, but we’re sorely missing the airconditioning over here! :-) I’ve been carrying my fan with me wherever I can, and I don’t even care how silly it may look! I even have this little battery powered one for the places I’ve been that don’t always have electricity! Thank you, Apryl, for bringing that sweet thing over here last summer! :-)
I’ll see if I can get pictures from other people’s cameras, and I’ll post some pics and tell some stories after camp.
