The church camp experience

Last weekend we had the opportunity to go to church camp with a local Thai church we have been attending. It was really incredible to be a part of this opportunity and to have this time of learning and bonding together as a unit.

Game time
There were about 100 people from all generations and social classes coming together as the body of Christ to join in the camp: to play games together, to learn together, to worship together, to have meals together, and just to do life together. Lauren had a great time at camp; he really thrives in playing with other kids.

The only difficult aspect of camp for us was that it was entirely in Thai. It was a great learning experience to do life completely in Thai for a couple of days, but we definitely had our moments of not understanding what was going on. Like trying to figure out what the rules of the game are before it gets to our turn.


 
We think that Lauren is more comfortable with his Thai language abilities than his English. He is definitely gaining on us and is already passing us up in some aspects of his Thai competency. 




All in all it was a great time of fellowship, stretching our Thai, and at the end of the day we left praising God for what He is doing in Thailand and what His is doing in us and our language learning.
