As I wrote in the middle of the week, the final push to the end was exhausting. But we made it! Camp was good: it was a smaller group, about 40 people total, and the students learned and interacted a lot. As an intern team, we went into camp tired, but came out feeling accomplished, relieved and thankful.
Fun things from the week: friendship bracelets, a hilarious talent show, a tasty "grill" outside, and the antics of some funny youth leaders.
Great things: a student's decision to follow Christ, many ears hearing the gospel, and learning to praise God even through exhaustion and sadness.
Today we leave for a time of de-brief in Prague. We will meet with the other intern teams and process through our experiences from the summer, as well as have some time to enjoy the city together for a couple of days. We are all really looking forward to it, but it is the strange feeling of realization that the summer is coming to a close.
After Prague, I have the opportunity to go visit some family friends in Germany! Sonja knew my parents when they served with Malachi Ministries for American youth on military bases. She was around my age then, and was a precious blessing to our family when there were three young kids under the age of 2 in a place far from home. Now I will get to meet her own family. Another beautiful example of how life can come full circle.
Please pray:
- that de-brief would be helpful in the process of re-adjusting to life back home, as well as a good time of reflection.
- for safety and smooth travels after Prague
- for the students who are now home from camp, that they would continue to think and maybe even pray about what they experienced.
Thank you all!
