Third day of camp

     Fortunately, we only have two more days of camp. Your intrepid narrator is starting to wear out. But it's more due to the late night Tuesday than anything else. Tomorrow morning won't help. But after Friday, I'll have a lot of time to catch up on sleep. 

     English for me today was a little more rough than usual. The morning session went well. We read a second story a out Corrie Ten Boom. But I wasnt satisfed with the active English in the afternoon. I think it's mainly with how I prepared for it. I'll work on the plan for tomorrow better before the class starts. 

     Max continued his lecture today with two main ideas; the futility of the law and being lost in the storm. He's focusing more on the saving power and grace of God. Because half the students were not here last year, some are finding it hard to follow his lecture. And since a lot of then are not Christians, some are still resisting his message. In discussion time, following the lecture, they tell the group leaders about what they don't agree with. Rich gets to be the guest lecturer tomorrow.  

     Austin seems to be a full-on celebrity now. He said it runs in the family to be famous in Ukraine. His sister Kristen was here several years ago. People here still remember her. I attached a picture of him beginning his climb to fame. The girl sitting next to him is teaching him a Ukrainian song that several of us sung later after dinner. 

     We finished off the night with an "anti-talent" show. We and the students didn't have a lot of time to prepare skits bit everyone made the best of it. The American group was in one skit together and various others throughout the night. Best of all, we all had fun. There was singing, dancing, comedy, and lots and lots of laughter. Several times, Austin received rounds of applause for his technical prowess, dancing abilities, and even his skill at "braiding" hair. I'll leave that to him to explain. 

     Alright, I need some sleep before the big game tomorrow. We and the students have a big quest in the morning and we're all getting up before 5AM to be there on time.
