It has been another very busy few days. After our prayer labyrinthe on Thursday night, 8 students newly commited their lives to Jesus. This was very moving to all of us involved, and helped to provide immediate feedback about God working through us at camp. It also helped to provide motivation and recovery to us and our tired bodies.
On Friday, we finalized rehearsals for the main concert on Saturday. Friday night, we held a camp-wide talent show, and were wholly entertained. Saturday (today) we rehearsed and performed the final camp concert for a large crowd of the students' friends and families. The concert went very well, and all those in attendance were very pleased. We said our final goodbyes to some of the students. For others of the students, we will say goodbye to them after we attend church with them tomorrow morning at their home church. We have moved out of our camp, and into host homes in Haviřov (pronounce the ř like a zh sound), which is within about 10 miles of Ostrava (if you are looking on a map).
With my host family, I went to the grocery store this evening. Those of you who know me well know that I am not usually allowed to go to the grocery store because I find and buy all sorts of new items are were not on the list. Well, I didn't buy anything, but there sure was a lot to see. :) A few observations: shopping carts here have 4-wheel steering, the salami section at this particular medium-sized grocery store was about 30 feet long and took up 6 shelves, and, you bag your own groceries. I would have been dangerous in there if I had room to bring items home the the US. That's all for now, more tomorrow (including pictures from the concert!)
