day 2 at camp T.E.D( totally english days)

Bonjour Everyone!!! Bek here. i am so blessed to be here right now. God has already used so many things to show himself ... and many situations to intervene in and show us his truth. i am so excited for the days yet to come and i really believe that God is going to be changing and working through both the French students and our team as well.
Today was our first actual full day and it was a little tiring ... (still recovering from jet leg) and hot. It always seems to be dry and hot up here! Anyways things with the French students are working out really well for us and things are going better then i thought they would. The language barrier has not been a big problem at all for me. It gives me a desire to learn the language. For our small groups, i am in the group who is the lowest in speaking English, and it has gone very well, and i honestly am really enjoying it. Dana leads it. Today, it was the 4th of july and all of the Americans were going crazy as well as some of the French students. Some of us were dressed up and had red, white and blue everywhere. Counselors of the day were Mary and Monica, who are leaders from the Boston team. They are a lot of fun and the girls on our team seem to be bonding well with the other teams.
The California team is very nice and fun to be around. Dana spoke today on how Jesus took the place of us dying and now we can have new life in him and forgiveness of sins without eternal judgement. A number of the French students have rarely (or never) read their bible. So my goal is definitely to get them to read something from the bible, so what I did for the girls in my cabin was ... I gave them each a verse and now i am going to translate it in to French for them, that way they can understand it better.
My prayer right now is that God would work in the lives of the French and that he would give us all patience to help and encourage them to know and draw closer to Jesus Christ. My personal prayer is that i would be uplifting with my actions and words and that i would set a christlike example to everyone here, french students, team members and leaders/counselors.
Anyways, all is well and safe here in France and i hope that everything is going well back at home. Love you all! and please keep us in your prayers! Au revoir!!!
