Continuing to pick up speed!

We had a long, active day here at Champfleuri, including:

Morning worship of singing and exposition of three Peter passages by Buan. Here's what excited me, though. Bailey shared her testimony, and I heard French campers related well to what she shared from her life ... and this was a great introduction to the talk. Ask Bailey about her story sometime. They were a great way to convey her trust in the Lord. Buan then shared … (well, check out Kris Peterson’s blog input … it explains it well). Christina did a great job of talking her cabin time students through this (oh yea … cabin time is new to us, started a year ago … a counselor joins with each dorm room inhabitants to review the day and test for spiritual interest … it’s is a good add, and worthwhile for all parties). The students categorized themselves into 3 categories … seeker, doubter, and imperfect believer.

Oh yea … one thought about yesterday that I don’t believe I’ve mentioned. We’ve done two rounds of activity workshops that our students lead (along with Boston and California folks). Round 2 consisted of Tim with volleyball, Bailey with Henna and hair, Natalie with cooking, Kris with Frisbee golf. Well done, around the horn.

We then supervised and played a variety game in the evening that included round robin ping pong, spoons, fishbowl modified, blanket ball, and team jump roping … simultaneously played by different groups. A full day, with good support by the Philly team!

Today then included a great day at the lake … but you can read about that in Kris’ file as well. The evening (pretty fine exhaustion today) concluded with the movie ‘Holes.’ A lot of redemptive themes here … good cabin time in this regard as well. There is an interesting spiritual buzz in the air … lots of questions currently.

Keep praying please (thanks!),
