Well, those who read my blog know that I didn’t publish some things. So l let’s fill the gap and tell everything what has happened <\/span>in that time<\/span>. Let’s go step by step, just the way I wrote that into my notebook.<\/span><\/p>\n

So. <\/span>Hello everybody. Now it started. <\/span>Busy week. <\/span>From Monday to Friday I was in day camp in Lebanon Lutheran Church in Whitehall <\/span>(Emil \u2013 another intern is there)<\/span>. Every that day <\/span>Marcia –<\/span> the woman who I stayed with – drove me to Whitehall and every afternoon she took me back. <\/span>A<\/span>nd every day I had some new experiences.<\/span><\/p>\n

What I really like about th<\/span>at<\/span> camp there? I like that camp because there w<\/span>as<\/span> fun, the group leaders made a great job and stayed with children, played wit<\/span>h<\/span> them games<\/span> and<\/span> were there for children. Also another leaders were organized, everything look<\/span>ed<\/span> well prepared and children w<\/span>ere<\/span> active and happy and I think that <\/span>they<\/span> w<\/span>ere <\/span>very<\/span> obedient <\/span>too<\/span>. I like that children could sing some short songs which were very easy to remember and when some song was more difficult it became easy by singing again and again. To do the repeat<\/span>s<\/span> and to show <\/span>with hands <\/span>and whole body<\/span> every sentence from song<\/span> is an idea which is used also in Slovakia, <\/span>but <\/span>maybe I forgot that it could be so much funny. I think that we <\/span>look<\/span> more serious or I use to be more serious and not so funny. I was amazed about how everything was used, every place <\/span>in church area<\/span> and so on.<\/span> And I <\/span>like <\/span>also<\/span> that the <\/span>B<\/span>ible study was in <\/span>the<\/span> church, in front of the altar, on carpet <\/span>where were sitting children. <\/span>A<\/span>nd <\/span>I like also<\/span> that<\/span> they<\/span> didn’t have to<\/span> only listen the stor<\/span>ies<\/span> but also <\/span>that they<\/span> participate<\/span>d<\/span> in<\/span> the stor<\/span>ies<\/span> or d<\/span>id<\/span> something.<\/span> And I like that every Bible study<\/span> was taught<\/span> in different way.<\/span><\/p>\n

I know that to organize th<\/span>at<\/span> type of camp is really hard <\/span>and<\/span> I wander upon everything that was different from our camps. <\/span>For example: <\/span>Usually when we have a daily camp in my church in Slovakia we have lunch <\/span>which <\/span>isn’t<\/span> prepared at home <\/span>by parents<\/span> and <\/span>so usually<\/span> pastors <\/span>have to<\/span> think about how we can give <\/span>(or prepare)<\/span> lunch for children. <\/span>So it was something new <\/span>for me, to see that there is also another way<\/span> how we can do things<\/span> maybe easier for us<\/span> and better for children – because they could eat what they will bring <\/span>and<\/span> what they like. <\/span><\/p>\n

And I like luge. I was so scary about to t<\/span>r<\/span>y <\/span>it<\/span>, but I really wanted to. Pastor said that it’s save and that Emil has done <\/span>it<\/span> too. Also small children <\/span>love<\/span> it<\/span>. <\/span>I’ve missed few turns but then, after a few minutes I tried it. <\/span>And it was amazing. I was <\/span>so<\/span> happy<\/span> like a small kid.<\/span><\/p>\n

I have never had an idea about going to swim to someone’s house. I find it like a great idea and also great help that the people shared their swimming pool with campers. For me it’ s a great testimony, that no matter what you have (or what gift or talent you got) but how you use it.<\/p>\n

The weather was good and so we finished the camp with water games. Although the water was cold, we had a lot’s of fun. Everybody was wet. And th<\/span>ose<\/span> people<\/span> which were not so much wet, they became we<\/span>t<\/span>. I like th<\/span>at<\/span> camp and I have also nice memories of <\/span>that<\/span> and <\/span>a<\/span> beautiful T-shirt.
\n<\/span>And I really<\/span> like what pastor said <\/span>to leaders,<\/span> that children <\/span>start to<\/span> do bad things when they are bored. And <\/span>so<\/span> leaders ha<\/span>d<\/span> to interest them with games, activities, help, or something. <\/span>They were there really for children. <\/span>And it was amazing to see that camp.<\/span><\/p>\n
