We made it to CAMP!!!

After roughly 32 hours of consecutive travel around 8:30 p.m. CEST (Central European Summer Time) we arrived at the English Camp in Pockau, German, the name of the camp is Strobel-Mühle.

So much I'd like to say in this first post...

Let's talk about what's happened so far. We seemed to be plagued with small issues to start off, the door of the bus wouldn't stay closed on the way to the airport and once we got there we found out that our flight was being delayed... and then delayed... and then delayed... we started with about a 90 minute layover in Atlanta which shrank drastically by the time we landed. There was major concern about missing our connection, to the point they were working with other airlines to get 5 of us out that night on a flight through Paris and then the other 5 would stay behind and go out to Amsterdam the next day... eeek!

 Fortunately we set a Guiness Book World Record...landed at Terminal B and had to get to F-18 I think it was...from the time we got off our airplane took the train got out at Terminal F and hoofed it to our gate and got on the plan only 15 minutes elapsed, we got on the plan and they closed the door, if you've ever been to Atlanta, you know how big that airport is!

We ended up making it to Amsterdam about 25 minutes ahead of schedule after about a 9 hour flight, we were in Amsterdam for another 7 hours. We went through security and left the airport for a bit and saw the area around the airport and stretched our legs. We hopped on our next flight and flew to Prague!

Once in Prague we met some of the team from the Church we are working with, they drove us through the mountains to the small village of Pockau where the camp is at, as soon as we got here we unloaded and went straight into church service and had a blast!

Today has been great, we had a staff meeting at 7:30 and breakfast at 8:30 (they love bread here, so do I, and bread is with every meal - YUM.) We had a worship service after breakfast and we are now broke up into classes with our teams teaching English using the Gospel to accomplish that goal, today's theme is the Home and Family. Tiffany and Josh ended up teaching their group how to call the Hogs this morning :-)

Currently, I'm preparing to teach a "seminar" as they call it, on Spiritual Warfare, should be a good time together, I'll try and post something up later this evening which will be sometime in your early morning between 7 and 9 am.

Travel was long and grueling but we really did well without any real issues once we made our connection in Atlanta. The staff here is awesome and we are having a great time, all of you that have your kids on this trip, they are doing great, relating well to the German teenagers, and they are having the times of their lives.We love you all and will talk again with you soon!
