Training: Part 2

Continued training on Wednesday included time with Shelby Flowers, speaking more specifically about the music and arts workshops our team will be leading and assisting with at our camp. We then started creating lesson plans for our workshops. It was great to see Shelby and get her insight on life here, now that she has been living here for 10 weeks. Our time with her was brief, as she is leaving Thursday to drive to Estonia to help start the first Fusion camp there.

After a wonderful dinner of chicken and rice casserole, we practiced some of the camp songs, and started to learn the camp dance. The camp dance music this year is Toby Mac's "Unstoppable" and the group dance routine lasts for the entire song. I know that there are more than a few of you reading this who are chuckling and thinking about me (and a few of the students) learning group dance moves, but it is starting to come together. :)

Lukas Herman (from the church we are working with) and Johnathan from Josiah Venture each shared their own personal faith story with us, and we learned more about the origins of Josiah Venture, as well as what they are now doing in eastern Europe. There are some pretty amazing stories, more of which I hope to share later.

After our evening training session, we enjoyed Kofola (the Czech version of Coke), Magnum ice cream treats, and horká čokoláda (which is like flavored hot chocolate with a more pudding-like consistency) as a team, and spent time with some of the other teams who are training with us.

Everyone is in good health and good spirits. We have more training today, if the rain stops for a while, I will try to post a few pictures later today.

Thank you for reading, and if you have any questions for our team, feel free to leave a comment below.
