At Dorcas

Its Saturday and we just arrived at Dorcas camp where we will have English camp until next Saturday. It's been so fun and amazing here. I'm working with Russ and Joe, who work for Good Sports, Kristin from VBC, and a team from Cedarville, OH who are pretty awesome people. Last night we were hanging out at the church in Debrecen and they all surprised me with a cake that had what seemed to be a torch on top and sang happy birthday to me in Hungarian. It was really nice of everyone and although it was ackward for everyone to be singing to me I really appreciated it. It was a lot of fun.

We went back to the refuegee camp today and saw a lot of the same kids.

They were really excited to see us and we got some great pictures and videos. We were there again to analyze needs in the camp and to figure out what we could do and what future teams could do to impact these peoples' lives. The kids there are so cute. All the little boys were hanging off my arms and I was picking them up and swinging them around. This one little girl kept poking me and then would point to someone else like they had done it. These kids need a lot of love and were so happy that we were just there, even though they had no idea who we were or what we were doing. It was also so amazing all the different languages they were speaking and me trying to communicate with them in my broken German (which most of the people from Kosovo speak).

Yesterday was our last day in Mikapercs and we put on a performance for the village and the kids' parents. We sang some songs and us Americans performed the Everything skit that went really well. I hope to post it on facebook when I get a decent internet connection. Things are a little slower here in Hungary :) There is a high school student that we met a few nights ago, Zsolt, who we met at dinner (he got a mass email that the Americans were in town and he decided to meet us). He played flag football with us the night after, and last night he came to the church youth group to hang out. We talked him into coming to English camp and the Ohio team is paying his way. He is not a Christian but we have made an impression on him and God has definitely planted a seed. Please pray for him this week.

Also pray for me that I will have energy. I'm wiped out but still in great spirits. We are going out to Debrecen tonight for dinner, the team from Texas gets in later on, and English camp kids arrive tomorrow. Its going to be a full week ;)
