Camp Day 3

It is the middle of the day on Monday July 6th. English class in the morning went very well today.  The students are very outgoing and have no problem talking or rebounding from making mistakes. They are all very excited to talk to native English speakers, so they are willing to put themsleves out there" more than usual for a group of Czechs. I am really excited about my group and the more I get to know them, the more excited I get to teach them. I think they find me funny, and I am able to do or say thinks that make the students laugh at me for the ske of making the group more comfortable with me and each other. I am teaching with Kyle on eof the leaders from the American team from Arizona. He has been so awesome to learn from, as we teach and lead discussion groups together. I have gotten a few opportunities to have one on one conversations with some students, this has lead to me being able to build some awesome relationships and build trust with a couple students. I have spent a significant amount of time praying for the "Story of God" talks, which take place at night. My prayers have been focused on, that the stories will be accepted and engaged by the students. Overall that their minds and hearts would be open and receptive to God's beautiful story of God's love and redemption of mankind. I am also trying to delve more deeply into the Czech culture and language so that I can better integrate with the students. Also when the students are teaching me some Czech phrases or words it gives them an opportunity to laugh at my terrible pronunciation of their language, which I believe just helps them get more comfortable with me.

Pray For:

• English Classes
• Story of God
• Betty, Edit, Honza, Magda, Misa, Peter, and Tomas (my English class)
