First Day of English Camp

The day began....waking up at 4AM. I couldn't go back to sleep. Suddenly I heard a knock on the door. "We are leaving in 5 minutes." Julia and I looked at the clock. 8:55AM. We'd slept clear through our alarm.

The theme of camp this week is Redeem. God gave us a great example of that today by redeeming our day and turning our weakness into His strength. At 9AM we left Tallinn for Juuru. (Julia thinks Juuru is a fun word) Camp is being held in a school building and all morning and early afternoon was spent setting up the rooms, making signs, finding showers, etc.

We heard the bad news at 3PM. Half of the campers would not be coming. We now have 10 leaders and 7 campers. But we firmly believe that God has hand-picked each person here and are looking forward to what happens next.

We had our first main meeting this evening and I introduced out theme to the group. This is the most talkative English Camp I've witnessed yet, which is very encouraging.

I have 5 minutes to get ready for bed and I'm being distracted by the camper playing guitar and singing about Digimon, so that's all for now. Good night!
