So I'm here again in Argentina! It's crazy to think that December is passed already! I enjoyed my time immensely for all who were wondering! I knew coming back that things were going to be different, seeing how it is summertime here and we are putting on summer camp for 6 weeks. Just in the first week, God has worked incredibly on just this campus. I can't imagine what He is doing right now with those campers that are home talking with their families about what they did and what God has done in their lives!
To start off, I arrived on Thursday and hit the ground running! I was already working on Friday, cutting letters, painting things for the stage set up, and just trying to get used to being back again! Sunday night, we had un fogón (bonfire) for the students and volunteers of camp. It was to start our summer camp season and the best part was when we got little logs to throw in at the end to just surrender all in these next few months or so. To surrender sleep. To surrender energy. To surrender food choice. To surrender space and comfortability. To surrender time. Most importantly, to surrender your heart for all the wonderful things that God was going to be doing in all of our lives and all that challenges that we can't endure without Him! That night I went to sleep with no expectation of what was going to happen the next day and not to be prideful in any way but that was one of the best decisions I have ever made!
Monday came along and campers started to arrive and the campus was getting pretty full. We had the opening ceremony at night and it was a joy to see all of the weekend work that Vestuario (where I work) had put in that finally paid off and looked awesome! Being in the behind the scenes crew is actually really cool! Anyway, that night was the night the Andreas, our director, was going to start of with the bang and preach the gospel....23 salvations that night! The Lord did NOT waste any time! Monday night was a great way to start off the week!
Over the week, Mufa Pufa (super fun game time), the pool, testimonies, and all, you could just feel God moving in and through this campus and it was awesome!
Last night, we had the closing ceremony and rooms (that were on mini teams) stood up together and would one person would share something that happened that week. Camper after camper stood up saying that they received Christ as their savior and what was so crazy about it was that they wouldn't just say "Oh I became a Christian"...they would say "I received Christ into my life and I knew that I needed Him because of sin and I can't live without Him." There were also a lot of people who said that they thought they were Christians before and realized that they weren't really living a true Christian life devoted to Him, so they changed. How incredible is that?! This was the first week!? There are 6 more of these! I can't wait to see what's going to happen!
PBB (my program) will be missing the last week of camp because we are heading down south to Pichi Traful, which is a cabin hotel owned by Word of Life, which is in the Andes Mountains and has beautiful lakes and such! It doesn't look like I am going to be getting much rest until then! After those two weeks, we are possibly crossing the border of where I will reveal later and after I have more details as to what we are doing! After our vacation, I am hoping to translate for some missions groups that come down here so if you know any group that is coming down here to work, LET ME KNOW!
The Lord has truly shown Himself this week as a fast mover and its a blessing to see Him do so!
Prayer Requests:
1) Not that this is a priority, but please pray for good night sleeps because we do not have the blessing of air conditioning, only a fan, and it cuts off some sleeping time.
2) That I would be able to keep my studies up for I still have spanish class all summer.
3) For the Lord to reveal His plan for me really clearly for after I am finished here in July.
4) For God to work in the campers lives and to keep us safe here because there are a lot of people coming from a lot of different places. They need Jesus and they are in the best place to connect with Him!
5) Ashley Hiers who is continuing the Lord's calling of mission work over in Africa. She is such an inspiration in my life just by being where she is at.
6)MY SPANISH! I want to translate for trips my end of March!
Please let me know of any prayer requests that you would want any help with!
