NEVER stop spreading the good news

We barely have service at camp but I found it long enough to do a quick update. Last night was the camp kick off. They campers arrived, we played games, ate dinner, and hung out. When I asked God to challenge me He definitely kept it in mind. The first small group session was extremely disheartening. We were prepared for campers that are not believers and prepared for one sided conversations. Well, last night I felt like a failure because everything that I had prepared for in the conversation wasn't really relevant because all of the people in my group are already believers AND were quiet. I went to sleep last night feeling incapable.

This morning I woke up and the emotion of doubting that I can do this was still lingering. We went to breakfast then had main session followed by small groups. Right before main session started I read in Acts 5 that we should never stop spreading the good news that Jesus is Christ. Thanks for the slap in the face God. I needed that one. Anyways, the verse was super encouraging. The lesson this morning was about Rahab and how God used her to bring His glory. In small groups we discussed her courage and bravery. She risked it all; she risked her life. God used a prostitute serve Him. He will use anyone He wants to. What people think is impossible, He will make impossible. After discussing the days lesson we talked about what we want this week from our group. We decided that each of us will share our testimony and we will all pray together. I went first, stepping way out of my comfort zone. I am also not big on praying out loud over people but when everyone is our group did, leaving me out, I knew I had to. Another good challenge. Afterwards I talked to Sam about what I had been struggling with internally. She is such encouraging person and pulled me further out of my slump. I love her so dearly and we have only been hanging out four days.

Today my group was in the Superhero English Environment which was a blast. Triinu, one of the girls in my group, and I created Princess Cookie, our hero. Haha. We played volleyball America vs USA.... we were losing so bad that they were giving us pity points. Then volleyball turned into dart volleyball. SO AWESOME. The whole "not speaking any Estonian" thing... not happening. Its awesome but weird at the same time, especially if you are the only American around.

Well, its time to get off and get ready for dinner.

Love everyone that is keeping updated!!
