He is Mighty to Save

Hello blog followers! The daily blogger for today July 6th is me, Kris Peterson. Today was (and still is) the 4th day of Camp TED (3rd full day). Today was awesome! It was a break from the normal schedule.
In the morning there was breakfast (Yes the French do eat like we do in the United States) and it consisted of bread and cereal with orange juice. After that, we went to La Grange for Bailey's testimony, worship, and a large group talk by Buan. They were all great. Buan's talk was about the story of Simon (aka Peter) and his confrontations with Jesus. The first one would be when Jesus led thousands to Simon's boat and Simon caught lots of fish when Jesus told him to fish. The next was when Simon was in the middle of the lake and saw Jesus walking on water. Then how Simon walked on the water, but then he doubted and sank. The last story was when Simon was on his ship and saw Jesus on the shore (post resurrection), but then failed to walk on water and had to swim to shore. Buan related all of these to our relationship with Christ. We are either meeting him for the first time, trying to follow him but then doubting, and then trying to renew our relationship after messing up. I think that everyone in the camp, at least most of us, could fit into one of these categories. I just really liked the talk this morning (that's why I talked a lot about it).
After the talk we were told to pack our backpacks. We were going to a lake to go swimming. The lake was about 25 mins from the camp. When we arive many of us played volleyball, then ate lunch, then went in the water. The water was not to hot and not to cold, just perfect. After that we played American football with the French, and then attempted to play wiffleball (but that didn't work out so well). We then left and on the bus back to Champfleuri I had a good conversation with Elodie, about how we became Christians. It was a very good conversation because we both got things to pray for each other out of it.
Finally, like an hour ago, after we got back. We had a meeting as an American team (the Philadelphia team). We talked about moving from Stage 1 to Stage 2. Stage 1 being talking about our lives and their lives. Stage 2 being talking to the French campers about Christ. Please pray that God would give us the strength to move from Stage 1 to 2. It will involve a lot of questions that may make us feel awkward, so it would be great if you all prayed for that.
One last thing, I love you Mom, Dad, Andrew, and James. And all of you who are praying for us. Thank you very very very much!

In Christ,

Kristopher Peterson
