I cannot spend too much time on here tonight because tomorrow we send the campers home. Right now I am sitting with Mere, Bethany, and SamSam. We are righting letters for the mailboxes each camper has. Last night was the best night of my life. I am not saying it like other people though. The words that I said are a genuine, honest, and true statement. It was the GREATEST night of my life thus far. God gave me the opportunity to witness someone accepting Christ. He allowed me to be the one to help him through it. His name is Henri and I am so proud of him. When he made the decision we were in the middle of a thunderstorm. The lights were off and after he said he accepted Christ there was a flash of lightening. The joy in his face was indescribably. After praying with him I couldn't stop crying.
Tonight we had a labyrinth for the campers. There were seven stations, the last being that they could light a candle on a cross and make a decision to accept Christ. The American Team knew that the labyrinth was going to make emotions surface but we were no where close to being prepared for what God had in store for the night. I cannot write about all of it on my blog because there is too much but, our new Estonian friends opened up. They poured out their hearts, believers and non believers alike. Half of my night was spent in tears. Tears of happiness, anger, hurt, sympathy, etc. A blog post cannot do tonight justice when it comes to an explanation. But the night became even more incredible. More than half of the room joined in prayer and song and dance. There was straight up heartfelt worship for 4+hours, not including the main session and labyrinth itself. The holy spirit filled the room.

We were all feeling extremely weak Sunday night. I thought I was alone in the feeling but the feeling was mutual among all of us. Yesterday when talking with Riine we mentioned 2nd Corinthians 12:9-10 we did think about it in reference to ourselves but God hit us real hard with that verse this week. He used our weakness to bring glory to His kingdom.
If you want to know more details about the past two nights specifically lets talk in person. Coffee date. Lunch date. You name it.
