Hi again everyone! This is Stacey taking over the blog again to give you a little update on our lives over here in the Czech Republic. FYI we have all decided that we will not be coming home next week but instead are moving here to live forever. Just kidding, but seriously that is how great this week as been for our entire team.

Back tracking a little bit to last night which was our most intense night of messages from Ken. In keeping with this week's HERO theme, we talked about Jesus, the best hero of them all. After the meeting students could divide into different groups and had the opportunity to pray with Czech or American Christians, ask questions or just think about all they had been hearing over the course of the week. It was a great opportunity of us to be able to see seeds being planted...you could practically see the wheels turning in some students heads when thinking about the Gospel. It was also a cool opportunity to see just how perfect God is in the way that our classrooms ended up being organized in a way that matched personalities and experiences that would come into play in our discussions times. All in all, I would say that we found it to be an awesome night in many ways.

Today was our last day of English Camp and we ended the week of lessons by studying holidays and cultures. The day consisted of a 4th of July parade, a celebration of annoying balloons, a Halloween parade, Valentine and paper snowflake making making, and much much more. It rained a little bit this morning but it definitely did not put a damper on everyone's last day of camp and for me personally it was probably one of the best days of camp in my 3 years.

This afternoon was filled with a little something that we here in the Czech Republic like to call Knight Games. Every year at English Camp the Czech team comes up with a competition of sorts for us all to compete in and this year it was a knight competition. The camp divided into teams and had to first create a suit of armor for their knight. Then the knights proceeded to compete in things like sword fighting, horse riding, archery and other events that maybe should have come with a "do not try this at home" disclaimer. Lets just say that is was an entertaining afternoon for both those competing and watching complete with a King and Queen, a court jester, and royal musicians.

For our last night at camp everyone is enjoying one last campfire and writing goodbye notes. Tomorrow will be filled with one last program, lunch and then everyone loading the bus to head back to the real world...sad! It has been a great week for us all here at English Camp and we can't wait to see you all and tell you about it in person!
