Good Morning Sunshine!

I've got a little time to blog before we begin our morning team worship... dubbed "Good Morning Sunshine" to the camp. We've invited the students to come and check it out and hope that many of them do come and see us worshipping our creator. Good times.

The camp is going very well. The students arrived en-masse on a bus to the school at 11AM yesterday morning and we greeted them with cheering and excitement. A lot of the Estonian students are excited to be at camp and are having a lot of fun. Kati and I have a good small group for this camp... one guy that is a really deep thinker (which I like). We had a really good conversation last night in our small group. The theme of the camp is on "being human" - and what that means. We talked about our uniqueness and our need for belonging last night.

We are having a lot of fun as well... there are a lot of games (both sports and board) to be found around the camp and I've learned a new card game this week already. The camp sessions are really fun even though all of these "elimination" games like "Titanic" find me getting eliminated early (this could be a good fusion game... hmmm). They're having us Americans do a lot of crazy things on stage right now. Terry and Sara were up impersonating Ozzy Ozborne and Paris HIlton in a mock up of "Celebrity Squares," we had to improv/act out the 5 basic rules for the camp, and I got on the Hot Seat for the first session and had to answer all kinds of penetrating questions about myself. I tried to "plead the fifth" on one but was quickly reminded that I'm not in American anymore ;)- darn!

Prayer requests... 1.) we continue to connect with our students, and that everyone gets a chance to connect with us and participate. 2.) Continued energy level. This is going to be a high energy week and we all need our sleep :) (or decent substitute).

I'm out. Later. Good morning Sunshine! :)
