We wrapped up our first day of camp this afternoon. It was fairly chaotic, for me at least. I wasn't sure what to expect or how I was going to do teaching a bible class with a translator. The stuff we were trying to get through was pretty hard to explain to American kids, so I don't know how it went with the Hungarians. I'll look over my notes this evening and try to make the proper adjustments. I will say that today could have been worse. I was struggling during part of it, but it wasn't as easy as I thought it was going to be.
Everyone seemed to flow right into the groove today. It was a good first day. The kids were pretty energetic and everyone who is helping with the camp really knows what they are doing and loves these kids. There are a lot of good kids here. I got the chance to speak to one after the boys' class today, and it was good. He spoke pretty good English, and that was good. But he also had real questions we got to discuss. So I felt like something good happened today and God is busy working on the hearts of these young people. I feel like this is where we are supposed to be.
The food has been excellent. I don't know what I had for lunch yesterday, but it tasted good. And the desserts are uh-mazing. And they have Coke Zero, which isn't quite Diet Dr Pepper, but it'll definitely suffice. We got to watch America lose in the World Cup the other night, which is not how it was supposed to turn out. We have internet, although not all the time. Oh, and I found out that I am allergic to feather pillows. Who knew? Paul and I are roommates, which means Paul gets the joy of listening to me snore all night long. And I haven't had any trouble sleeping since we've been here. I'm looking forward to the next few days of classes, but I'm really looking forward to visiting Budapest. I mean, that sounds like a cool place to visit and maybe pick up some surprises for the girls. If they have a Woody doll, that is.
Well, there are others waiting to use the internet, so I had better cut this short. I am kind of out of things to say anyway. I will have more tomorrow. Right now we are getting ready to have a team meeting. I will try to blog tomorrow as well and keep everyone up to date on what's going on. Everyone is doing great, parents. I'm keeping an eye on everyone. Please keep praying. There is good work going on here.

If you would have left the Taco Bell alone before you left, you wouldn't have been struggling as much. It is hard to speak when your body breaks down into a crampy sweat.
