getting used to camp life (Josh)

Hey everyone! So I have no idea what anyone else posted on this, so let's hope mine doesn't echo someone else's. Anyway, most of the kids are here now, that is to say all of them except I'm pretty sure 2 have yet to come. My roommates are J., B., and Y.; the latter two are okay at English but struggle, and J. is quite good. I've noticed the general trend seems to be that they can understand us (if we speak slowly ad use common words) fairly easily, but have great difficulty responding. It's fun, though, because I took 3 years of French and I can use some of it to help communicate! But a lot of times I accidentally use Spanish instead and it just confuses everybody. I'm still learning.
But yeah, camp is really fun and we're slowly getting to know the French campers! All of us Americans got to know each other pretty well in just the first day, which was really cool, so we're comfortable with anyone and we can work together really well, which is a great blessing. There are many more days to go though, as we have just begun! Pray that the hearts of the French are opened, and pray for less shyness. This is Josh, signing off.
