Oh Camp.

First of all, let me say...I love girly camp.
When I last wrote a blog, I was not really sure what to expect at camp, since it is not camp like how Americans think of camp. At this camp we have twelve girls and seven staff staying the house and nine staff that commute each day to the house. We sit on the couches to do our discussions and we use a small backyard bonfire pit on the ground as our campfire. We are split into four teams and each team helps out with doing the dishes, cleaning the kitchen, and doing chores around the house.
If you have never done dishes three times a day for 28 people, with a language barrier you should try it sometime. We have done so many cool things with these girls. We have talked to them about things that can be hard to talk about, but it has been good. Slowly they have been opening up, I just wish we had more time with them. Yesterday we had a pool party at the team house. Then after dinner we had a scavenger hunt in Bucharest. The scavenger hunt was looking for three princesses in the rain all at different landmarks. I was with Corny (one of the translators on H2H staff) in the woods by the historic houses and stuff. Then we had a campfire with smores. yum yum. Today we went to Sinaia. The girls went on a tour and we had lunch at a park. When we got back to the house we spent some time doing crafts before group discussion. During group discussion it was awesome, one of the girls shared about her life story. My heart was crying out for her. Then I got to share a little of what was on my heart. The topic I picked didn't have very much extra information in the discussion packets we got, which was good because that meant I didn't really need to follow something that was already set. So I shared some of my testimony and what was on my heart. During small group time we had a good conversation and I feel like we were able to talk about truth with them, and what is (or isn't) true about different religions. Camp has been so fun though, I am going to be so sad to see them go tomorrow. But I am also excited for the girls who will be coming on Tuesday. A new group of girls to share the love of Jesus with.
