LIBEREC/TURNOV ENGLISH WEEKEND

As a follow-up to English Camp and our English conversation groups with the youth from Liberec and Turnov, 35 of us spent a weekend together in a primitive country cottage in western Czech from November 30th to December 2nd. Aretta Zitta and her co-leader Sally joined us with a team of 4 teens from their MCYM ministry on the American military base at Vilsek, Germany. (see September 2007 for the blog on last summer's English Camp.) Our students were joined by some of their friends and siblings. The youth actually seemed to enjoy speaking only English as we enjoyed many activities and games together. We only had 2 outdoor games, as it was very cold with snow on the ground. Again, the youth leaders from Liberec and Turnov did an excellent job in planning the event, including preparing all the meals. Not an easy task from an inferior kitchen without hot water! There was quality time to share life and our Christian faith with our yet-to-believe friends.
