What I've Learned- Liz

One person that I formed a relationship with throughout the camp was a girl named L (shortened to protect the innocent), one of my room mates. She barely knew any english, which was very discouraging sometimes, but was also very fun sometimes because it was like I was playing a very long game of charades. She would teach me some french words and I would teach her some english words as well. I prayed for her throughout the whole camp because I could tell through her actions and some conversations I had with her the Christ was not a part of her life at all. Towards the end of camp it was very encouraging, because one night she revealed to us that she was talking to one of the staff and her conversation really made her think about God. This was so encouraging, just that she was thinking about it and that the Holy Spirit was touching her in some way.

Through this relationship with L I learned that God is way bigger than a language barrier and that His way is the perfect way. I realized that even though I could not have a long or deep conversation with her, God provided someone who spoke French to really challenge her and her beliefs. God is way bigger than any earthly problem that we may think will never change.
