Yes!! This is the amazing view we get to wake up to here in Malenovice. It is incredible!
We had our first day of training today where we went over Czech culture, Czech history and how to tell our story well. Johnathan Rosen, pictured below, is the one that lead our training. He oversees all the English camps in Moravia and is such an encouragement to all of us.
We then got to work on our English lessons and have time to bond as a team. This is such a nice time where we can get acclimated to the time change and learn more about how we can make our camp successful.
After we were done working on our English lessons....some of our Czech team arrived!! (Only 3 of them but still super fun!!) It was soo wonderful to see them and to have our team meet some of the people we will the working with to have a successful camp. Then some of us went on an adventure and explored the country side during free time. When they returned it was time for dinner and it was time to try some Kofola for those that have never tried it before.
Some of us enjoyed it and others thought it was different. :) The point is they tried it and that's what is important. We ended our day with a mock evening program. We practiced how that would look for our camp by doing games, camp songs, the loved camp dance and a teaching. Our very own James Cavslier lead the camp songs and I would say that our team did amazing with the camp dance as well!!
We also got to hear the story of how Josiah Venture was first started. It was incredible to hear about how God is working in the Czech Republic and reminder for us to do this camp well and give our best efforts to support the church we are working with! We ended the day by watching the World Cup with the team from Wales and meeting new people and playing games.
It was needless to say a wonderful day and I can't wait till tomorrow!! Please be praying for health for our team so we can serve well and give our best efforts.
