Lake Day and update from camp

Hey y'all!

We just got back from a lake today that we all had a fun time swimming, playing volleyball and cards. Andrew (AP) and I got to have a little taste of home that we were missing, french fries! We ordered a huge plate of fries with the help of M. It was something that we had both been craving and once we got it we downed it within a few minutes. Aside from going to the lake camp has been amazing so far. It's been awesome to wake up and see the Alps and know that it is all God's creation. I've been getting to know my roommates better and have been blessed to have 3 roommates who speak fluent English so talks can go more in depth without having to translate. They all have a strong faith it seems from the talks I've had with them in the mornings and at night. I have also been blessed to get to know M, A, and X. They all speak English fairly well even though X is a bit shy but is starting to break out of his shell. X is in my small group and is someone that is an extremely kind person. He was helping me the other day in small group get through reading a passage in the Bible, in French. It was a rough process for me but it was an opportunity for X and I become closer and to also gain a feel for what the French kids experience by having to read and speak in English. A prayer request I have is that G would open his heart up to the Lord because he believes the Bible is what man thinks God would be. My other request is that M would be more open to people talking to him. I thank all of you for your continued prayer because I know it is helping all of us. God bless.
