Camp Victory

Camp and the inauguration are done. The week was busy, but amazing. There was the obvious lack of sleep and a very rainy day, but everyone was involved and excited. During the week I was involved with leading a small group in discussion every day, helping organize worship each night and leading an group each day during "crafts" time where we mainly plaid improv games. We were blessed to have few problems during the week. The last night of camp we had a brother and sister join us in Christ. At the start of the week I was a little thrown back by how everything was moving so fast but I have been able to catch on. Being a part of a bi-lingual camp as a bi-cultural person ended up impacting me more than I thought. Every night we sang songs in portuguese and english, with the occasional sung in both at the same time. It was a true testament to God's awesome power to have these two cultures coinciding. Now, I know I keep referring to it as a bi=lingual camp, but it was a Christian camp where there happen to be people who spoke English and Portuguese. The group of Americans could not say enough of how the week changed them by seeing Jesus through the campers. Some time this week I hope to post some pictures from camp. Sunday we had the inauguration and I helped film the worship. Unfortunately, after a week with little sleep my body had trouble keeping up. Sunday I woke up sick. Today I am taking a forced day-off to recuperate. The medical campaign started today which makes a day-off hard to take. I am feeling much better and hope to be back to work in the morning.
As I said, this past week was amazing. Being here has been a blessing so far and I am extremely grateful for your thoughts and prayers.
