Buna blog watchers! Tambalu! (Buna means hi.)

Written from camp on July 31st...

First full day at camp is coming to an end, and we would like to update yall on our adventures! Yesterday (Saturday), we arrived safely but late in the rain. We had a pretty chill afternoon (metaphorically and literally); we slept, ate, and had our night session in the cold. At camp, we have a very old Hungarian cook, and let’s just say all of the campers, Romanians and Americans, have had an interesting time adjusting to the cuisine. Besides the cold and cuisine, camp has been great! Today was our first large games day! The sun broke out for a while during our games, and it was a pleasant surprise. The games were fantastic and (AHEM TESS) Energy is one of the most fun games we have ever played!!!!!!! Also, we feel that we are connecting to the Romanian campers well during the whole day and especially small group. It is easy to see how God is moving and working through the first few days of camp. The questions that they are asking in response to our nightly sessions are a great start to figuring out who they really are as God’s greatest work. During our worship time, we sing a few songs where the Romanians can sing in their language while we sing in ours. These are very powerful moments in which we can see how big and mighty our Lord is. What I (Michaela) love about the Romanian culture is that they are so much quicker to show affection and start a deep relationship with another person than our culture.

A few quick shoutouts:

The Big MT to the fam: Miss you guys hope everything is well at home. Camp is great so far.

Fanman: Shoutout to sinks, for keeping my hands bacteria free.

Hunter “vanator”: Hey Mom and Kenz! Tell the rst of the Koeshall clan I say hi! Tambalu!
