The campers arrived today at Word of Life Bible Camp in Hungary. There are around 85 kids...37 are doing baseball, 26 are doing English and the rest are doing soccer. I (Rachel) am helping to teach English, and Justin will be teaching baseball again. Yesterday we got to tour the city of Budapest - a really beautiful city! The history and architecture are amazing. One of the train stations here was designed by the same guy that designed the Eiffel Tower and is stunning to say the least, and we got to look out over the city at night with the bridges outlined in lights and the buildings lit up. I got to try a Hungarian pastry which we saw on the TV show "Bizarre Foods." It was shaped like a hollow cylinder and tasted like a warm cinnamon pretzel but better. The camp is really cool as well. The castle where we stay is a well known historical landmark in Hungary and actually has trees on the property that aren't found anywhere else in Hungary because the original owner had them brought in special. During the communist rule this property was used as a camp to teach the Hungarian children the communist rules and way of thinking...today it is used to teach Hungarian children about Christ - how amazing is that? Pray for the campers and their salvation this week. Many come from broken and alcoholic homes. Pray for the staff and all involved too...this is the first week of camp for the summer! Hopefully some pictures will be posted soon.
