Camp is great so far! There are 41 English teachers here from North America (we even celebrated Canada Day today with our Canadian teammates), and 128 Cambodian students who all have English-speaking skills at different levels. We spend our mornings in smaller groups practicing our English skills using fun learning tools, games, etc., and then we spend our afternoons on field trips. It's all about building friendships with the students and being a positive and consistent investment of love into their lives.
Yesterday we went to the silk farm, and today we spent some time swimming at the lake. Maybe one of the coolest things we got to experience with everyone was a baptism at the lake. A Cambodian pastor (who also helps to lead English Camp), had planned on baptizing 2, and then a third individual decided to get baptized at the last minute. Witnessing baptisms is already an amazing experience - but witnessing them in another culture? Suffice it to say we were honored to be there today.
We feel like a broken record saying this, but THANK YOU FOR PRAYING FOR US!!! We miss you all but we're doing great. We even had the chance to go to the night market last night and bargain our way through some good deals and fun purchases. :)
Miss you, family & friends!
P.S. If you're friends with Mel on Facebook, she reposted some photos from a few of the IW's who are taking pictures at Camp. Check them out!
