So much has happened since my last post, but due to the lack of internet access at the camp, I have unfortunately been unable to update the blog. I will slowly be back dating entries for each week of camp as I have time.
Currently I am in Guatemala City getting ready for church with Rita, Oswal, and Jael. We came to their house Friday morning to recuperate and do laundry. I am grateful that we did so because I got food poisoning Friday afternoon and spent a lot of the time resting in bed. We took it easy around the house Saturday afternoon, and that evening we went to Marcelo's house to celebrate Monica's 40th birthday which isn't a big birthday in Guatemala. They made Argentine sausage and the cake was delicious with dulce de leche between the layers. Unfortunately, I could not eat too much of it.
Everything is going great at the camp. It is such a blessing to see so many lives impacted and the passion that the staff has to serve the Lord. The language barrier is a challenge for me as there is often not a translator and my Spanish is fairly poor. Thankfully, there are several staff members that speak English, but those conversations are few and far between. Please begin praying now for my language acquisition in Haiti. I have been taking language courses and hope that it is helpful when I make it to the country. Also, please pray for the campers this week. It is our 2nd teen week with 370 campers! Last week we had 215! There are not even enough beds for everyone to sleep on and the kitchen is not large enough to feed that many at one time. Thankfully this is a laid back culture and everyone just takes it as it comes. Pray for safety and lives changed. I will post pictures as time (and internet access allows).
