English Camp!!
Friday morning, I took a van along with 8 students to Cha-Am Beach for English Camp. It is about a 3 hour drive to Cha-Am and because I had to wake up at 6 am, I slept all the way there. We got there just in time for lunch, and spent the first couple hours just playing games with the students and the Christians. In the afternoon, we played several “get to know you games” to try and get the students more comfortable with each other. We then taught what a homophone is and talked about several words that are homophones. After this, went out to the beach to play a couple of games. Justin taught the students how to play a game called “Steal the Bacon” and I taught “Horseshoes.” After we were nice and toasted from the sun, we had a little bit of free time before dinner. Later that evening, we divided everyone into groups, and each group was assigned a skit they had to write and perform the next night. The skits assigned were: KungFu Panda as a horror, Indiana Jones as a chick flick, Prince Caspian as a musical, and Batman as a comedy. The groups were given time to work on their skits and to get ideas and props ready for their performance.
Saturday morning we taught more homophones and had each group write as many sentences as they could using the homophones. After lunch, we gave more time to work on their skits before having a sand castle building contest out on the beach. At night we had the skit show and karaoke.
Sunday morning, we had a worship service with the Christians and students. I preached and one of the Christians translated for me. I talked about having a common love, peace, joy, and gift of salvation. I did this to explain that God doesn’t care for just some people; he wants everyone to share in His love, peace joy, and salvation.
Overall, it was a great weekend. It was very tiring, but it was very fun. We will have today and Tuesday to regain our energy before we start teaching again on Wednesday.

Please pray for our students. We hope that camp was a way that they could see better how Christians live and act and understand more what we believe. We hope that they got to know the Christians better and built relationships with them that will continue after we leave.
In Him,
